The Commies: Anger Boils Over
Each and every day here at East Village Idiot, dozens of complete strangers bust their asses and try to be as snarky and whiney as I am in the comments of each post. This weekly (read: whenever-I-damn-well-feel-like-it) feature recognizes those commenters. I present to you… The Commies!
There were quite a few angry commenters this week, so let’s pick out the creme de la creme.

Why the fuck are LA folks reading a blog about New York? You know why? Because LA SUCKS BALLS!!!! Go fuck yourselves while you drive to your 3 TJ’s all around you within a 5 mile radius!!! And fuck Debbi Reynolds.
Wow, someone’s a little bitter. Did the city of Los Angeles chew you up and spit you out, just as it has done to many other New Yorkers? L.A. readers: it’s not you, it’s your burger chains.
Also, this better be the last time I ever see the words “fuck Debbie Reynolds” on my blog. I’m already queasy.
The Unfounded Accusation of Racism Award

is this your not-so-subtle way of telling us you hate black people?
Suddenly, I’m starting to think the divisive lyrics of the song “White Christmas” inspired the creation of Kwanzaa.

you obviousley have no clue about shopping. period. if you have frequented tj’s in the past, you should know by now that you cannot go there after 5pm. the shelves are always bare. and quit yer freaking complaining. there is a strategy for that store. hit the aisles first, avoiding things along the perimeter. then, while waiting in line, finish the rest. as for whole foods, if you can’t afford it, don’t gripe about it. they have the freshest selection of produce in the city, barring green markets. their meats are stellar. i’d rather pay a bit more and get all my shopping done in one store, than have to run around and bargain hunt.
GREAT! I’ll go to Trader Joe’s before 5pm! Because although I work a 9-to-6 job, I can totally get there before 5pm - especially since TJ’s opens at 9am! And he’s right, because I work a full-time job, I obviously have no clue about shopping. Period.
It balances out, though, because he obviousley has no clue about spelling, grammar, or capitalization.

brookLyn gaL says:I can vouch that EVI is already fully aware of the “save-the-perimeter-for-last” strategy. It doesn’t exactly put more food on the shelves though, does it?

Meaghan says:Due to Teresa’s hurtful comments regarding LA, i will no longer be reading your blog.
However, and I want this noted: I agree with her about Debbie Reynolds.

Teresa says:I know I’m a little late on responding, but I am so insulted that you would EVEN think I was chewed up and spit out by LA. I was only responding to some LA jerk try to spit on my town. Besides, LA is simply the most over-rated, BORING, uncultured, not to mention UGLY-ASS city I’ve ever seen. What does LA have to offer to us? The Hills?? Please - FUCK LA in all it’s fake shit. And if you consider yourself a New Yorker - don’t ever say that we’ve been chewed up and spit out by such an inferior city! We’re bred to hate LA just as we hate NJ. Just keepin’ it real like a true New Yorker!
