Mr. Cohen may be right for NY Times' dwindling readers. We are a depressed lot, carefully coached to view the world with inward mirroring glasses. Psychotherapists here, about two-twelve for every Times depressant, remind by the hour at $150, of our misery. Our therapy pets howl and mewl in chorus with our laments. Our servants groan and moan at dwindling tips and rising costs of elite colleges to which their coddled brats are indentured to learn finance, law and predation at the feet of kindly forebears exploiting public office to gobble and wobble with undeserved, completely legal, bountiful backsheesh.
Most envied comedic New Yorker is not Preet Bahara, Jamie Dimon, Stewart or Colbert, but Reverend Al Sharpton, our totemic inheritor of Mandela, Ghandi, King, Cornel West, James Brown, for hustling entertainment is our holiest religion, produced for wholesale global consumers of despicable simulated horrors. We love New York up-beat slogans, top of the mast, most fit to print. We engorge op-eds, dog-and-cat-fighting columnists, Pulitzer prizes locally baked by hated neighbors, all engines of self-loathing for us narcissitic losers: insanely wealthy or poor-doored and -terraced, vacuous public philosophers (not you nettimers), idly contemptuous of Others annoyingly squatted in our very AirBnB prejudicially opinionated, Uber-mensch paranoid, needy for psycho-torture catching and pitching, we ingest and lambast New York Times and The New Yorker for plagiarizing our worst imaginings by putting them in the vocals, noise, splatterings, Times Square plasmas of our star-squahing kids impatiently awaiting our demise to gain full contol of our socialist-controlled housing in order to cash out for Afghan delirium awaiting on Silk Road. No clouds for us the kids yell streaking pansexually across campuses of NY's top import and export, ever higher ed, aka Marxian-Fruedian-Nietzschean-Chomskian desire to make it into the wide-mawed listicles of NY famous anuses. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
