New York
 
I read this piece about living in New York in today's paper. It's hilarious. :)

she sounds like an idiot... you don't have to walk 24 blocks in manhattan without a cab. the subway is all over the place... and i've spent a grand total of 16 days in nyc.

also, if she wants more space, why doesn't scope out some other areas for an apartment? if she could figure out the fucking subway then maybe she'd realize that she could live further than 24 blocks away.

Is this bitch seriously complaining about a 24 block commute? In any case, I'm totally content with her being unhappy. The last thing we need is more stupid fucking people. Watch, in two years she'll be calling herself a fucking New Yorker and I'll be hating her even more.

boo hoo, i can't afford a cab everyday,

There really is no need to take it personally.

Without reading the article, I'm guessing as it's in the Daily Mail they've managed to segue a little bit about how climate change is the fault of politically correct Pakistani midgets living in England on £100k PA benefits, right?

I've always loved the fact Daily Mail articles mentally scar Guardianistas, hence their demented diatribes over it on the net whenever it gets name-dropped.

The Daily Mail is the second biggest-selling daily newspaper in the UK. Whereas the Morning Star for the middle class is the second least-selling daily newspaper in the UK. No wonder Guardian readers feel a bitter grievance towards the Daily Mail.

Guardian readers are going to feel even more bitterly aggrieved over the fact the paper they love to jizz over may fold, along with The Observer, as a direct result of The Guardian Media Group losing £24 million in the currency market, no doubt adding to the total of £90 million it announced it has lost in the past year. Back to reading "The Beano" for you, eh? :)

newspapers are a dying format anyway due to the internet and cable tv amongst others. unless its some rag like the daily mail with the emphasis on more sensational headlines than actual newsworthy fare.

If I wanted right-wing papers (and it might surprise you to learn that that's precisely my preference), the Daily Mail would be the last I would read. The Guardian, meanwhile, is for yoghurt-weaving shits with fuck all to say, who don't mind a poorly-proofed and often rush-written pile of turd.

The Mail's popularity has nothing to do with my disdain towards it; the atom-thin insinuation, their incessant negativity and unrelentingly poisonous rhetoric has a lot to do with it. The copy-editors let people like Jan Moir get away with little short of murder, because they know full well that a well-reasoned right-wing paper is far less sellable than hysterical rubbish.

The Guardian will probably fold in the next year; I think the Observer's already going. And good riddance. Except there were some good cookery article in the Observer food monthly from time-to-time.

automatic bzooty 12.21.2009 06:27 PM

y'know, this type of article is equivalent to that filler minute at the end of the local news broadcast where they show shit like water skiing squirrels and the world's largest lasagna...

You obviously haven't read the Guardian since the eighties. The spelling mistake jokes were always hilarious. Alas not the case anymore. Probably the Telegraph can be more appropriately accused of badly and hastily written tripe.

I get my news from various sources, mainly internet but when I buy a newspaper it's the Guardian or nothing.
