xp How about one that doesn't shift blame to the reader for not getting the intended "sarcasm" and one that includes the bit about how Ric Delgado's submissions will no longer be welcome by any outlet of the New Times corp?

this is terrible, no doubt, but i have to admit my second thought was "these are the shitbags now taking beer money out pf my pocket."

Where are Delgado's friends in all this? Why are they letting him watch so many Tosh.0 reruns?

I don't think he has friends, unless you count realdolls.

So he's supposedly daring people to write in and get him fired...

Good piece by @ariellec: Another View: Why Ric Delgado's "Pleasantly Plump" Listicle Yesterday Was Not Okay

@tess_rae
@RicDelgadoRocks @ariellec not really clear on how you can say this is a good piece while continuing to defend all you wrote.

@RicDelgadoRocks
@tess_rae @ariellec is a great writer who made clear and well written points.

I didn't know H@rvey was the author of that tumblr!

In another response, he told a woman she "must be single" for calling him out.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:31 (eleven years ago) link

that really seems like a trick that loses a lot without the visual component

microphone placement is key

I appreciate you thinking there was a first time. RT @heycalliejoy: @RicDelgadoRocks, also, good luck getting laid ever again.

okay that is the first funny thing I've seen dude write

I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:47 (eleven years ago) link

he should have to spend the rest of his life w that article stapled to his clothes.

"maybe you've heard of me? i wrote that thing about adele's kankles. i'm kind of a big deal."

THE KITTEN TYPE (contenderizer), Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link

now that they've caught the rogue blogger, I'm sure the New Times will never post another offensive, inane listicle again

da croupier, Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:25 (eleven years ago) link

that piece is good and all the points are OTM and i understand why a woman would want to write it but i guess i find slightly regrettable that neither the male writer of the piece nor the male editor of the paper decided to write that piece -- it sorta reinforces the lasting message of "hey, we're sorry that we offended you, but WE don't think we did anything wrong"

J0rdan S., Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link

also how the hell was this published by a female section editor smh

J0rdan S., Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link

She probably thought it was going to generate a lot of hits so she didn't care about the content being offensive.

Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Thursday, 26 April 2012 17:42 (eleven years ago) link

isn't spike tv's director a woman or something

"hit count" is the answer

@ariellec if comedians concerned themselves with the people that got offended then there'd be no Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Louie CK, etc.

am0n, Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:11 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, i'm pretty much over the sexism thing and more pissed that he sees himself as following in the footsteps of louis ck and richard pryor

J0rdan S., Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:12 (eleven years ago) link

move over, dennis perrin, we got ourselves a new comedy outlaw

✧✧✧✧✧✧@are.forever (some dude), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:12 (eleven years ago) link

All of those comedians concerned themselves meticulously with the people they were offending, tho

sleepingbag, Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:15 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah, Ric here misses the absolute essence of what made those guys who they are.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link

it blows my mind this guy is over 30

It blows my mind that he thinks a publisher would accept a novel he wrote.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 April 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link

The sense of superiority coming from the rock crit circle jerk that forms when something like this happens is almost as repellent as the original article. I can understand a few tweets, a few comments. But whole blogs getting set up seems a bit much.

Position Position, Thursday, 26 April 2012 20:52 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, a bunch of jerks feeling superior because they didn't write "Plump Female Musicians I Would Bone"

seapunk run. run punk run! (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 April 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link

yeah dudes i for one am really sick of all the shrill protest that occurs when something misogynistic surfaces in american culture

there's still time to be included in Delgado's followup: "Sympathy Trolls I Would Bone."
