Jalopnik makes uncalled for Mini gender slur

Check this out.

"According to HotelChatter, the Mosaic hotel of Beverly Hills is offering a deal that includes a room plus the use of a Mini Cooper, for around $300 per night. The package deal is perfect for those craving a Rodeo Drive shopping excursion, though male guests will likely be required to relinquish their ********* for the duration."

If you click through, you'll see that the HotelChatter site totally busts them on this comment, which was cool. Guess we know where Jalopnik stands on the whole "Is it a chick car?" debate. And I was beginning to like that blog...

Perhaps the hotel should offer an alternative like this for macho male guests whose surging testosterone has killed off too many brain cells:
