If I never hear the words "New" and "Yorker" in the same sentence again,

[Sheets of Easter]

I will not regret it.

1. Unless it were "Newyawker99"

:shrug:

[Mojorabbit]

2. I feel the same way

I am waiting a few days before I look into that forum again.

3. FFS- how many OPs do you possibly need on one (meaningless) controversy?

Seriously, it's ridiculous the amount of postings, including this one.

[terrya]

4. I just don't get it.

I mean, by the end of the week, this will be...nothing. Over, finito, etc. I just don't see this as some huge story. In my opinion.

7. it just shows no sense of humor - that's what kills me...

think of all the great French satirists, etc. folks would fail to "get" :(

17. If Jonathan Swift were alive today,

there'd be 30 threads in GD expressing outrage over his idea of eating Irish babies to relieve famine.

5. Twenty threads on the first page alone (n/t)

8. my lord, I'm so glad I'm not a mod anymore!

:party:

11. wow

I usually don't go into GD-P

[pokerfan]

14. Neither do I

I went over there, searched for "yorker" and counted the results.

Randi Rhodes didn't help matters either, basically saying that satire is elitist humor and that average (stupid) people won't understand the point.

18. It's the patronizing aspect that really gets me.

6. You'd think people who spend all day wondering what freepers will do next...

....would get the joke.

9. I'm going back to Niew Amsterdamer.

[LeftyMom]

10. What about "MadAsHellNewYorker is the hottest of DU's many hotties, and should post more."

:shrug:

[skooooo]

12. I'm avoiding the so-called "serious forums" on DU....

...cause I'm sick of all the repetition.

:puke:

13. i am a proud new yorker with a proud subscription to the new yorker magazine

:)

15. It's ridiculous the amount of attention that non-subject's getting.

Even for the obsessive nit-pickers of GD.

I'm getting really *tired* of GD. I feel like a hamster running around in a cage.
