Any guesses? *

LAT.comThis is how the Times website packaged this morning's Meghan Daum op-ed column jumping into the question of whether teenagers really do engage in lots of oral sex, and whether laws should punish whatever they do. OK, I give up: what is the girl in the picture holding in front of her mouth?

* Monday update: The Times removed the girl's photo from its website later on Saturday, at least partly because she had no connection at all to the subject of the Daum column. I don't know whether there was a complaint, but lawyers are involved and I'm obscuring her identity while leaving the post up for the record.

Also: The LAT editorializes in favor of Ralph Horowitz, who owns the land where the South Central community farm is located—"he has every right to kick out the people who have been squatting there for more than a decade"—and against the city land grab at Hollywood and Vine.
