Jackass.
One day after startup founder and turbo-bro Peter Shih ripped apart his new home of San Francisco in a blog post, calling the city, essentially, a hellhole full of uppity and ugly women, "transvestites," and grotesque homeless people, the City by the Bay is blasting back.
All day San Francisco denizens have been tweeting and tumblr-ing out pictures like the one above. Apparently, several of the city's neighborhoods have been plastered with flyers calling Shih a prick and a "nerd toucher" (???), and telling him to move back to NYC. No word on who exactly is behind the poster campaign, but this cannot be good advertising for Shih's startup, Celery.
Shih, who shall forever be known as the tech world's John Rocker, now says his blog post was "satire," though that didn't stop him from deleting it entirely.

(16,327 posts)There is NOTHING I can't stand more than someone moving here, taking a job, driving up rents, and then shitting all over my town. It happened back in the early 80s when NYCers and Bostonians came to SF in droves for the good white collar jobs and cheap rent. They did nothing but bitch about how provincial SF was and how there were no good restaurants or places to go. My response to them was "Who the fuck invited your yuppie ass here? Go the fuck home."
All these years later, I see it again. Now there are "acceptable" restaurants and activities, but the non-tech SF denizens are the problem. My response remains the same:
"Who the fuck invited your tuppy ass here? Go the fuck home."
