I can't remember where I saw it, but I remember seeing Gwenyth Paltrow being interviewed somewhere about some movie where she appeared topless, and realizing she'd forgotten to warn her grandfather about the topless scene so he could avert his eyes at the right moment, and when she apologized, he told her not to worry about it, saying something like "two eggs sunny side up, seen it many times before."

Nice artwork, and a poem by Robyn about the BBC.
