Little Did I Know That I Don’t Love New York
May 10, 2007 – 12:57 pmPeople often assume that since I’m a blogger, I must be well-versed in modern-day pop culture. After all, I read Gawker! I must know everyone who’s anyone! I must be able to pick out every socialite, reality television star, and American Idol contestant on the street and tell you every minute detail of their lives!
This is clearly not the case, as demonstrated by my reaction to this banner ad that appeared on MySpace (P.S. won’t you be my friend?) last night:
evillidiot: why is myspace representing the city of new york with a big-breasted black bimbo?
culturedfriend: ???
evillidiot: there’s a banner ad with a poll asking me if i think new york is hot or trashy. and then there’s a picture of this sort of nasty-looking black chick with fake tits.
culturedfriend: okay.
evillidiot: i’m confused.
culturedfriend: yeah, uh, that’s fucked up.
evillidiot: i mean, how do you even define a city as “hot” or “trashy?”
evillidiot: phoenix: hot or trashy? hot, obviously. newark: hot or trashy? totally trashy. but new york? wtf?
culturedfriend: OH WAIT
culturedfriend: does this chick look, like, mildly retarded?
evillidiot: yeah, i guess so.
culturedfriend: like… this?
evillidiot: oh dear god. what is this crap?
evillidiot: people watch this shit? that boggles my mind.
evillidiot: wait, wait, wait. so this is a spinoff of a spinoff of a reality show?
culturedfriend: yup.
evillidiot: thanks for enlightening me.
culturedfriend: no problem
evillidiot: although i feel like i would have been better off not knowing, because i think my head is about to explode.
If that poll ever comes up again, mark me down in the “Who Cares?” column… many, many times over.

I only know who she is cuz while being doomed to live with my cousin for 3 months, they constantly watched that stupid show with whats his face, and she was on it then.
Otherwise, id be in the same boat as you.

Her show was awful - every aspect about her and her mother was awful and nearly unwatchable - there were a few moments of brilliance from the guys on the show…
The old Richard Bey talk show might have been a touch classier than the “I Love NY” show - which is just about an impossible feat.

I’m mortified to admit that I’ve watched every incarnation of this shitfest - from the original Flavor Of Love to Charm School. It’s so bad, it’s good. And it’s so very, very bad…
