Maybe if you stopped writing about bushwick it would go away. I'm calling for a moratorium on posts regarding the neighborhood that shall not be named.

I saw a guy on the Q this week who was wearing an old Nintendo game controller as a belt buckle. It actually pissed me off it was so stupid (plus, it drew my eye to his crotch. ow. eyes. ow.)

Love the ghetto, eh? Try International at Seminary in Oakland, kids. I'm sure they'd love to hear Royal's "rap".

The couple in the middle would easily fit in on the streets of South Tucson. The other's are douches and should die.

A few things...

1. Everyone that lives in Bushwick don't like in the Mckrappy lofts [I just left Bushwick and had two normal places of residence.]

2. Those lofts are in East Williamsburg. I lived off of the next stop over Jefferson. That, my friends, is where Bushwick begins.

3. Please do not give BushwickBK.com any more publicity. The guy who owns it is a 'locals' hating douche.

4. I'm pissed at asshats like #1 and #2 for giving my borough of origin a bad name.

5. This is all why I did the unthinkable and moved to Queens.

Could we exile these neighborhood-specific website and/or magazine people to tiny remote island somewhere?

They could report on it for the rest of their lives. Until they are eaten by the gigantic bugs which also live there.

White people who love the ghetto usually grow up in upper middle class suburbs.

a few months ago we used a model who lived in bushwick. he looked very similar to these jokes and used to carry the same super-shiny AA gym bag everyday, everywhere. One day he came in with two black eyes and no gym bag. Turns out he got mugged by two 13-year-old boys on his way home that previous night. then he took up skateboarding so that "no one could catch him". A few weeks later he moved back to his parents house on long island. sigh...

"I enjoy the ghetto for the reasons that people who live in the ghetto enjoy the ghetto: hopelessness. Hopelessness fuels me. It infiltrates everything I do--you think a hopeful guy could ever create mathrock with a band called The Autistics? You think a hopeful guy could ever do self-scarrification of Osama--wait, Obama's--face--on his forearm? You think a hopeful guy could ever wear a bandana stained with the menstrual blood of his girlfriend? No. Wait. No. He couldn't. Yeah."

I'm sorry but there is nothing normal about middle dude's jacket. Or hat. Or shirt. Or jeans. Or shoes. It's time for him to dress like an adult. Haven't you people ever heard of Vineyard Vines?
