Re: “Great GoogaMooga Canceled”
So that's two years in a row they've fucked up. Can we stop with the GoogaMooga hype now? Can we at least get rid of the "great" part of it?
Re: “The "Smallest Penis In Brooklyn" Pageant Is Now A Thing”
Pretty rude way to describe the event. Won't be following this writer anytime soon.
Re: “Game of Thrones: Climbing On Thin Ice”
I only just discovered this site, this set of reviews and this person - Kristin Iversen - when I was surfing websites randomly, yesterday afternoon. I've read all of them now, and been entertained by them all.
I wasn't entirely sure what Littlefinger was like, until the second series. He was charming, a little creepy and maybe-a-bad-man. But, like most characters in "Game of thrones", the concepts of good and bad become a little more complex and a little more open to interpretation. So I reserved judgement until I found out a little more about him.
Then he had that scene with the tearful whore. He was very charming at first - as usual - and gradually became downright chilling as he made his point clear. After that, he wasn't maybe-a-bad-man any more.
Re: “Titus Andronicus Desecrated Confederate Flags on Stage in Georgia”

Another perspective on this story. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, this was done for the lols because Stickles, based on several of his rants and blogposts, seems to take everything so seriously.
Re: “Titus Andronicus Desecrated Confederate Flags on Stage in Georgia”
I'm sorry, but your headline is sensationalist and abhorrent-- the Confederate Flag is not an official flag of the country. It's a symbol used to scare and intimidate, and to try and say that the band did anything other than what they did and that it was somehow negative or wrong is gross and pathetic. So disappointed, but I guess I shouldn't be....
Re: “Grown Ups: Ageism Justified”
Wow you all over examine everything. Not to mention the joke about the lifeguard WAS NOT so much a insult to Canadians as it was meant to be for the typical steriod using muscle builder. Not to mention the fact that later that night the wives apparently were thinking about the lifeguard during sex considering Kevin asks sandler were saskatoon was during your so called horrible unspeakable drinking water from jugs scene.
P.s. if saskatoon was going to start hating us over something so silly they can seriously move to the dark side for all I care. I don't really care or not. Not to mention America is constantly used as humor in films. The difference is we know what jokes are... jokes.
Re: “Is It Actually Possible To File Complaints With The MTA?”
I recently emailed several complaints to the MTA (also from my phone after the B48 bus just didn't show up for a scheduled time ... several times ... ) - I was pleasantly surprised that I (1) got a response and that (2) bus service seemed to improve and be on schedule after that. I kind of thought I was just doing a public service that would probably result in nothing, maybe it was just a coincidence or maybe they really did listen.

Whoa. That link to the vegetarian options leads to a secure page.
Re: “Is It Actually Possible To File Complaints With The MTA?”
I recently tried to make a complaint to the MTA after several days of observing rats on the subway platform (one actually running in between people's legs during the evening rush hour!) at the Grand Army Plaza station in Brooklyn. 311 sent me to 511, which gave me many alternative numbers to "press", none of which were appropriate. I finally gave up and made an on-line complaint the next day. Several hours later I got two very lengthy faq emails, describing in great detail all of the City's trials and tribulations in dealing with the rodent problem. I quit reading after the third or fourth paragraph, because no where did I see anything saying any action would be taken specific to my complaint.
Re: “8 Great Brooklyn Artists Under 30”
Any chance you could highlight '30 great artists under 8'?
Re: “It Sucks to Own a Food Truck”
Many restaurant owners see food trucks as a threat, which all humans are creatures of habit so it is understandable. But what they are failing to realize is that they are wasting precious time trying to fight the food trucks instead of working with them. Restaurant owners (especially those that serve alcohol and killer seating areas) could partner with 1-2 food trucks one night out the week and offer the community something that they cannot get anywhere else.
For example, they could advertise a "special" of 1 food truck item and 1 beverage for a price customers cannot refuse-$10 bucks; it would be even better if some type of entertainment or theme for that night could also be implemented. This results in a win-win for both parties and allows the restaurant/food trucks to increase revenue all around.
Due to the "gourmet food truck" industry's recent expansion, some areas are still transitioning and food trucks are being punished. As a result these areas do not offer a ready-made plan for new and existing food truck operators to navigate the permit-licensing process and end up with tickets (the short end of the stick). It is very important to do your due diligence before opening a food truck in any area.

Re: “Is It Actually Possible To File Complaints With The MTA?”
wonderful! now i wonder if you can file a complaint with the NYPD.
Re: “Why I Fucking Hate Kickball”
Unfortunately, all hipsters are followers, not creators. That's why you cannot claim Burroughs, Basquiat, and many others under this term.
Re: “Karen O Isn't The Reason This New Yeah Yeah Yeahs Record Is Good”
Maybe the writer isn't old enough, but I'd guess KO's costuming follows Mick Jagger's use of costuming from the Rich top hat statesman parody to Mr. America to court jester to disco man to Jamaican tribal chief and so on.
Re: “Should We Be Worried About This Brooklyn Measles Outbreak?”
Political correctness dictates that we let all of these ignorant third-worlders in and this is what always happens. Because they are uneducated and stupid, and breed like flies, which causes then to live in tight clusters in high-density areas like cities, disease outbreaks are common and spread to the rest of us. Our own kids are at risk b/c p.c. rules say that immigration has to continue - yes, even for those who believe in silly, bronze-aged myths over science.
Re: “It's Weird That the Coolest Songs on the New Daft Punk are the Ones With Indie Rock Singers”
They should have learned. Human After All was full of tracks that were poison on the dancefloor, when viewed alone. And they definitely didn't follow that up with the best live show of all time or anything.
Re: “It's Weird That the Coolest Songs on the New Daft Punk are the Ones With Indie Rock Singers”
Proper club bangers? Jesus Christ. Aren't there already enough of those out there?
