NY Pee Pee:
The New York Press’s list of the 50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers is the most juvenile, obnoxious thing I’ve read in a long time. I know the point of these lists is to brim with bile. Bile can be hilarious. But not when it’s so nakedly culturally facist like this. Bitchslapping 50 Cent (#48) for “selling out” by appearing in Teen People? The guy has money in his stage name for pete’s sake! Yelling at Chuck Klosterman (#38) for liking Steely Dan instead of the Sex Pistols? Knocking Sofia Coppola (#50) down a peg because she has a famous dad? Hating famous people and writing about it is one of our highest callings as a free society with lots of free time. But how about doing it with intelligence and wit, you self-righteous brats, instead of warmed over teenage vitriol, wasting away on the shelf since we all accused Kurt Cobain of “going hippie.” (via Bookslut).

I know this is old, but I’m trying to find these old bad (bad as in it doesn’t always jump down to the right place) anchor links, now that I’ve *finally* got post pages 🙂
