Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.We need to talk about Jon Hamm's penis. Partly because it makes a change from focusing on a female celebrity's sideboob, say, but also because it's a big deal.
Ever since the actor's breakthrough as Don Draper in Mad Men, keen-eyed viewers have made certain observations about his anatomy and relaxed approach to pants-wearing.
These have come to a head with the filming of the sixth series of the show. According to reports, tighter 1960s wardrobes have led producers to ask Hamm to seek support.
Gossip sites started directing traffic to Jon Hamm's Wang, a long-running tribute photo blog.
Now pants firms are offering to drape Don's little man. Jockey promised a lifetime supply of briefs, while Fruit of the Loom said it had him "covered" if he changed his mind about going commando.
But Hamm claims not to be amused, calling the attention "rude" in an interview in Rolling Stone. "There are harder jobs in the world," he said. "But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c*ck, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal." He then thought about it some more and added: "I guess it's better than being called out for the opposite."
