Hah, that's fucking funny...
Don't know how to react to that--I tend to save that sort of reaction for the women who kept my sophomore year boring. Kudos to Guy Hollerin for taking an embarassing situation and rendering it hilarious.
did i mention satitre? satire and sarcasm are, although not mutually exclusive separate and different. and while this piece can be viewed on the surface as described in your post. the tone has a mild self depreciation and ironic content directed towards the author.
but thanks for noticing me.
Okay. Anyone calling this irony and satire doesn't understand the meaning of the terms. First of all, for satire it has to be at least mildly funny. Secondly, if this was a piece about not wanting to date black women because they're ugly, or they smell or any other made up stereotype, no one would call it irony or satire. Happy Pesach.
As a reader from the UK with only a passing acquaintance of New York gained from weekend shopping trips and Sex and the City being inflicted on my consciousness by my girlfriend; I think it may be the case that maybe the people commenting negatively on this funny piece are too close to the action to recognise the irony and sarcasm present. For those of you who need a crash course in irony and sarcasm don’t bother, you either get it or you don’t.
if you still want a lesson ask and I’ll happily send you my email address so I can give you some lessons via MSN.
Great blog. Funny as………….
Let's fight. Tuesday, Union Square, 7:00 pm. I'm going ot fuck you up bitch!
-John from Accounting
Good delivery, counsel.
As for the commenters, well...
"Masogeny"?! Lovely. You went to Bard, I'm guessing.
"$500 a month for Journal Square"? Someone's giving favors to their landlord.
this is an excellent, funny, poignant post. kudos.
That post is too long and way too stupid. Just the kind of thing that guys in this city write when they can't get a girlfriend because they're jerks, and can't take responsibility for their own shallowness and lack of personality.
No wonder you lived in Murray Hill. The same guys who complain about the women in Murray Hill don't realize that THEY CHOSE TO LIVE THERE TOO!
The problem there is not Jewish women, it's guys who have zero personality, can't get laid because of it, and write blogs degrading women. Nope, can't be you can it?
There's a reason you don't meet decent girls: Because you are the same boring stockbroker who has nothing to talk about and is angry and then gets mad when your money doesn't seduce women like all your dumb frat brothers claim it does!!
And before you write back, consider that I have a boyfriend, he's a nice guy, and I'm glad I don't live anywhere near you weirdos who can't leave Manhattan.
Came here via ijc, you've been bookmarked. I just woke up the ijc sleeping in my bed now after reading that post...
I found your post entertaining...and then I was doubly entertained by the comments :p
I think I love you.
What's your screen name on jdate?
Me, I just feel like anyone who wants to call someone a woman-hater should learn to spell "misogyny." Especially if you're going to try to use that word.
your best post in a while!
ignore the playa hataz who wandered in off gawker, stay true to game.
the best part is how you went from awkward acquaintance to potential mate (mentioning your a lawyer will soak any JAP's panties) to total asshole.
and portnoy's second complaint would indubitably be the singles scene in murray hill.
not a day goes by that i don't run into some JAP i spent four years of hebrew school avoiding. l'chaim.
This is why I live in Journal Square Jersey City, no hipsters, 10 minutes to manhattan on PATH train, 500 dollar a month studio apartments.
Perhaps after women read this, you'll be trying real hard to figure out a way to suck your own dick. Don't worry, honey, I guarantee you she went home and told her roomies you had a stubby numb.
Here's to keeping masogany alive in 2006, asshole.
And, P.S. You didn't say that to her.
Portnoy's Complaint was hilarious. I found it in a laundromat in NYC the summer I lived there. Read it, returned it... good times.
No comment on the toothy blowjobs. Just 'cause some of us are more talented than that.
Hah--i very rarely read blogs in fact but am starting to feel as though i'm missing out big time...the Gawker link enlightened me hah. Loved the story of your little encounter and can't imagine how anyone would disagree! I enjoy truth for better or worse, and isn't it supposed to be a "truism" that people should enjoy stories that they can relate to?! And i'm not a bitter person in the slightest--swear! Ask anyone! Anyway, good job...you made me giggle.
I've been checking our your archives ever since you got gawked this morning, and this blog is one of the funniest, wittiest things I've read in some time. I want to make love to you, Guy Hollerin, whoever you are.
you're one singular douchebag, and you completely misunderstand the work of philip roth by invoking portnoy's complaint as a way of cushioning your tiny-checked mindset. also: what is BRUSHETTA, you effing illiterate? some kind of italian spread you mix with CREST?
I thought this was hilarious.
And I am a JAP from Long Island. Sorry: recovering JAP from Long Island. Just trying to make the world a better place, getting more and more sarcasm each day.
Fucking hilarious. I also went to a Big Ten school and moved to NYC a year ago. Now, I look forward to running into old hookups...
These girls are know as IJC'ers. For the definitive exegesis see:
http://ijc.typepad.com/
it seems to me that when these uptight, braindead japs can actualy muster the intelligence to realze that they've been placed on the butt-end of a joke, their immediate defense almost always includes the word loser. "we can spot you losers a mile away" "you are a loser" "are you mad because we dont give you losers the time of day".
rrrright. losers. cause we're not the ones who'll be divorced after two years of horrible marriage with a perpetually fatter ass.
pick up a book, you retards.
"Darling", whats with the anger? Are you the one who gave the "toothy" blow job. My boy at least gave the girl a reason to call up all of her old friends from college even if its just to say "remember so and so well I ran into him today and you won't believe what he said, blah blah blah" He's bringing people together in his own way. In his own small way making the world a better place.
What are you bringing to the table, darling? Some comment thats not witty or smart and oozes of bitternsess as if you've given your share of toothy blow jobs OR maybe you ate too much Matzah and briscut last night and are just feeling ugly and needed somewhere to transfer your own feelings of ugliness?
It's OK "Darling", you're probably a miserable person with nothing better to do but "Hate" on others.
Ha, I just peed all over the floor reading that. Man, girls these days have no sense of humor.
Die.
You're worse than the people you mock.
it's 'whose', not 'who's'. is that all you get for your money at a big 10 school?
LOL! I, too, try my damnest to avoid Generic Jewish Girl, which is rather difficult in this neck of the occupied territories.
BTW you must work for the government to be able to get home at 5:45.
fucking loser.
mother problems, anyone?
get therapy.
alice
You may be older, but you don't sound any wiser. And those Jewish girls you're trying to avoid? They can spot you as a loser from across the street.
