You might not have heard of this story yet, but if you want an example of a pun, this is it. A bulge in Anthony Weiner's boxer briefs was posted on Twitter and the Congressman's life has now been flooded with controversy. It should be interesting to see how this whole situation plays out. What a pun, might I add.
Did I mention this was a pun? The guy's name is Weiner and -- wait, I thought for a moment that I was talking to people who weren't acquainted with figurative language. My mistake. Anyways, here's the link you were probably looking for:

NEW YORK — A lewd photograph of a crotch sent from the Twitter account of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is just "a distraction" perpetrated by a hacker, his spokesman said Sunday.
Dave Arnold told The Associated Press in an email that the tweet, directed at a woman, was "a distraction" from the married New York Democrat's "important work representing his constituents."
"Anthony's accounts were obviously hacked," Arnold said. "He doesn't know the person named by the hacker, and we will be consulting on what steps to take next."
The photo showed a man's bulging underpants.
