The first comes from blogdowntown's coverage of the CicLAvia that took place on October 10, 2010. The event was a special day for the tens of thousands that participated - riding their bikes, walking, and enjoying car free streets on a bright Sunday morning. This comment about the day's proceedings caught me off guard with it's delightful ending:
"I tried taking a dump in the street but a police officer waved me back to the alley. I thought we have freedom"
I could not stop laughing at this one when I first read it. It is typical for anonymous comment writers to trash Downtown LA on local blogs. The area was, and in some ways still is, used as a dumping ground for the county's insane, newly homeless, and drug addled residents. It is all too common for someone to anonymously trash Downtown, no matter the context, because of the area's history. What got me was the "I thought we have freedom" bit. It gives the comment a legitimacy, an emotional switch to sympathize with this street shitter, shooed away from his prime location.
The next comment that got me chuckling uncontrollably was on an LA Weekly blog post about a stupid band from Orange County that parked their truck across four lanes of traffic on the 101 freeway on October 12, 2010. These idiots caused a ton of misery and delay in thousands of people's lives in order to gain some publicity for their band. All sorts of verbal insults were required for readers to right the wrongs of this band of nincompoops. One post took things too far, and mixed in a nice attempt at socioeconomic commentary (maybe?):
buster hymen says:
"They should castrate the band members for making me late for my Botox appointment."
God forbid "buster hymen" miss a Botox appointment.
