Great piece of snarky funny writing. Though I'm sure the writers are no lesser dipshits than those they carved up. The comments underneath the article are funny as well.

I lived in the Bay Area for five years and didn't like it much. I lived in Sausalito at the southern end of Marin Co., and it was fucking cold and damp pretty much all the time--the neighborhood I lived in was known to locals as Hurricane Gulch. Compared to people from the other cities I've lived in--London, New York, and Los Angeles--San Franciscans are annoyingly provincial; the common wisdom is that SF is the greatest city in the world, and there's no arguing with that. Also, for some reason, they have a real animus against LA and Angelenos... I have no idea why that is, and the feeling is not reciprocated by Angelenos.

Lots of good restaurants there though--it must be one of the best cities in the US for foodies.

funny piece. I've been here since 1990 and the current wave of hipster techies is definitely a change in the local scene. We still have our share of hippies and free love though.

Pretty sad how the San Francisco locals are hassling Kevin Rose.

San Francisco is among the most liberal areas in the US, and additionally has long been a magnet for fringe groups.

Apparently some anarchists known as "The Counterforce" have hatched a plan:

http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpr...rose-flier.jpg

Quote:

While Rose didn?t sound happy about the protest, he also tweeted, ?I did agree w/ them that we need to solve rising rents, keep the SF culture, and crack down on landlords booting folks out.?

I?ve reached out to Rose (who?s a contributor to TechCrunch through his Foundation video interview series) for additional comment and will update if I hear back. I?d contact the protesters as well, but as far as I can tell, there?s no specific organization claiming responsibility.
Quote:

Update: A post on the activist website Indybay from ?The Counterforce? offers more details about why Rose in particular was targeted. It starts a photo of the protest with a banner declaring ?IMA SNIP SNIP YR BALLZ [smiley face], then goes through his history as an entrepreneur and an investor, concluding:

To this end, we now make our first clear demand of Google.

We demand that Google give three billion dollars to an anarchist organization of our choosing. This money will then be used to create autonomous, anti-capitalist, and anti-racist communities throughout the Bay Area and Northern California.

In these communities, whether in San Francisco or in the woods, no one will ever have to pay rent and housing will be free. With this three billion from Google, we will solve the housing crisis in the Bay Area and prove to the world that an anarchist world is not only possible but in fact irrepressible.

If given the chance, most humans will pursue a course towards increased freedom and greater liberty. As it stands, only people like Kevin Rose are given the opportunity to reshape their world, and look at what they do with those opportunities.

Sunday morning, a group of fed-up service workers descended on the house of Kevin Rose, professional asshole. They unfurled two banners, one read "Kevin Rose Parasite," given that he makes an obscene amount of money to fund people to create nothing, leeching off our actual work, and another banner read "Ima Snip Snip yr Ballz," a reference to Kevin's televised "joke" about cutting off women's breasts with scissors.

Rarely a dull moment in the Bay Area, and politics is no exception... :winkwink: :helpme :)
