I read the comments to last week’s story about A-Ron, and all those haters can go take a hike. In a time where we need to muster up all the Hope we can dig out from between our sofa cushions, this is a really great story. Here’s why:
- It’s no secret that lately, most people are down on their luck financially, and if work was hard to come by before, it’s even harder now. What can be less inspiring than hearing a story about how guys in expensive suits try to fuck each other over for no good reason, or, alternatively, some misplaced sense of entitlement? So it was awesome to hear how A-Ron could rise above all that bullshit and be the exception.
- Right now, the economy is a our greatest source of woes, and the fingers are pointed squarely at the excesses of big business. That’s why we need to be bombarded with more slogans (even in our iChats), more logos (especially hip ones), and more disposable culture (especially expensive t-shirts and baseball hats). It’s the only way our generation knows how to express itself, why should we be deprived of that just because most of the globe is in its financial death throes?
- Its awesome to hear a story about how an underdog in a penthouse can take on someone who gave them a fuckload of money for god knows what and end up with a government-sanctioned happy ending. Keeping those penthouse infested with LES street rats is what will keep the rest of the city up to its ears in disposable hipster art, parties in art galleries with ignoramuses thrashing around their skateboards for no good reason, and give a sense of uniformity to the sort of people the rest of the city will want to avoid. Who wants to hang out with those uptown squares anyway?
God bless aNYthing.
Sincerely,
Summer Lovin
Dear Summer Lovin
We were just kidding about the penthouse.

Sometimes I read SC and can’t tell if people are being sarcastic or if they are just really dense. Maybe I should get back to work.

Only thing gayer than being an internet troll is being a person who actually does stuff and gets irked by anonymous internet jerks. Don’t go being a Kanye about it.
