I couldn't find other comments when looking at this article or whatever this is. This just seems strange coming from The Stranger...to make fun of folks. I thought the stranger was about being open minded and accepting all, but this just sounds conservative and bitchy. I'm glad those folks you are ranting about are actually going out and living, unlike whomever wrote this.
I enjoyed it, it seemed more like the old, irreverent, and fun Stranger/Slog instead of the always depressed, overly preachy, and sanctimonious Stranger of the past couple of years. More fun drivel please!
The digital "news hole" is unlimited, so it can be filled with whatever wanders in the door. I'll remember to skip any future offerings such as this one.
Please tell me some poor hungover intern spewed out that un-amusing blather ten minutes before deadline?
I knew things would take a bad turn when that narcissistic hack Nelson came back. But Jesus. This shit just keeps getting worse and worse. I can't even manage the energy for a thorough hate-read anymore.
By way of answer to the question posed, "What is it like trying to be intimate in public, among trash?", I refer you to the first chapter of the article, sex on the beach.
Would the spooning couple in the doorway have been less charming if they had been fucking?
Would the fucking couple on the beach have been more charming if they had been "fresh-faced and serene"?
I realize these two observations are probably from two different staffers. I just think you two should hash this out and maybe make an article out of it. The homeless still have the right to have sex, right? Where and how shall they do it?
For the very first time, I disagree with Catalina. In this case, more is funnier (and, in a few cases, sweeter). I like this old-school Stranger column!
This is old-school Stranger editing (i.e., no editing). If Pepe Le Pew is the pervert who takes pictures at Seattle Center, I'm excited to hear he's in town - can't wait to catch up.
But there were too many observations. Try to keep it to ten.
Seriously, watching what's happening to The Stranger is like watching a friend implode on meth or something. "You used to be so cool.."
That was my first thought.
At first blush I liked it and it did remind me of older days Stranger/Slog, but I'm also with spaceapple @13: Slog you used to be so cool.
Where is Cienna? Did she exit with David?
