When I saw the title and a more-than-normal frequency of Z's, I immediately started looking for zigzags through all the places I could fit a Z (which, to my way of thinking, was a 3 x 3 section). I got all the way to the end and saw S H E
E O N
S E X... or, in a Z pattern (double back and start over), it read "SHEO's EX." SHEO turns out to be the "supercouple nickname" (think Bennifer or TomKat) of Shailene Woodley & Theo James, and when they broke up (sniff sniff), it left Theo JAMES as an "EX."
That's pretty amazing.
