Looking a Gift Horse in the Mouth

I love Knitty. It's full of great patterns, informative articles and all sorts of wonderful knitterly things for free. I love it. I hate to criticize it because hey! I'm not even paying for it. But today's surprise patterns did indeed hold a surprise--an inverted tulip to wear over your ass. What gives?

Update: The Knitty site is down right now. As Carrie pointed out in the comments, "It must be so bad it broke the website! Maybe they have shut down knitty temporarily while they regain their sense."

New Update: The site's back up but they haven't come to their senses.
