As a former resident of New Jersey and a current resident of Pennsylvania, I’d love to say I take offense to this… but I can’t. It’s dead on. Tim and I are more than familiar with our Jersey brethren who look and act like this guy.

Though I think there should be a special color dedicated to all the Philadelphia hipsters in the cheese-steak region who relocate to Oregon’s hippie sector.

    I don’t care if I sound like a prude, but there’s no need for that kind of language. It’s not funny; it’s offensive.

    When I first found this blog I was pleased because I thought you managed to be funny without the crudity that everyone seems to think so necessary to humor. Apparently I was wrong. This is the last time I visit this blog.

    Emily: If you really aren’t coming back than you won’t even read this….but anyways you don’t sound like a prude, you sound like a holier-than-thou, uppity cunt. I’m guessing no one will miss you. Or notice you’re gone. Or care.

    @Emily: The only reason you find it “offensive” is because you’ve been culturally ingrained to think that way. “Fuck” is just a word, just a combination of letters and sounds. It cannot harm you.

    If I’m talking about Dick Cheney you don’t think that I’m talking about my penis just because I said “Dick”, you understand that it’s a name. The sounds that form “dick” does not have magical properties, neither does the sounds in “fuck”.

    In short: Get over it. It’s a word. It’s not going to bite you; it’s just offensive if you decide that it’s offensive.

    “When I first found this blog I was pleased because I thought you managed to be funny without the crudity that everyone seems to think so necessary to humor.”

    Just because we don’t make references to our members like a lot of geek blogs doesn’t mean we don’t chuckle at the occasional crude joke.

    C’mon. We are geeky Philadelphians in our 20′s. Live a little.

    I know I’m late to the party but…

    @Zabimaru I don’t think she was talking about the word ‘fuck’. She was probably talking about the word ‘guido’, you know… because it is an ethnic slur.

  15. Sean on Thursday 21, 2008

    hahahaha should have been fucking guidos! lol
