This headline prompts an obvious question: were there any good men on Sex and the City? The answer, by the way, is yes: Steve was good, Harry was good, and that dude Carrie met by a fountain in Season 2 seemed nice. Big is a lie.

Carrie drags everyone out after having lectured Berger's friends about imaginary break-up etiquette and manages to get street kids to sell them pot.

After Carrie and her finicky writer boyfriend Jack Berger promise to try to make their flailing relationship work, he bails in the night, leaving her a Post-it note to deliver the blow, "I'm sorry. I can't.
