I would like to start this week with a quick message to our nation’s homeless population.
Hello, homeless population.
Thank you for stopping by our website while trolling for illicit pornography on the computers at the public library. I would like to make a request. Would it be possible for you to stop displaying the gaping flesh wounds on your legs while sitting or laying on our nation’s sidewalks or in our subway stations and ATM vestibules? It’s a bit over the top. Thanks.
Now, let’s move on to a reader comment.

Justin, Your a moron if you think Kobe raped that girl. Open your mouth wide Vick right down your throat!!!!
Hi, 311Bruiser. Thanks for reading. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Mr Bruiser’s comment is actually a response to one that I, myself, made to a King Ing post, which showed Kobe Bryant wearing a Michael Vick Eagles jersey. I was surprised that my friend, the King, chose not to highlight either of those facts. Or to put it another way:
Seriously, dude? You have a rapist wearing a dog killer’s jersey and you don’t mention either of them?
So, that’s what prompted 311Bruiser’s rather rude rejoinder.
My first question: What took you so long?
King Ing posted the photo on January 11th. My comment went up a day later. Why are you just reacting to it 8 months later? Do you have a particularly slow dial up connection on your computer?
I also have some questions about your name. Are you a fan of the proto-punk band 311? I liked them when they were famous too. Maybe we can use this similarity to mend the torn fabrics of our tattered relationship. Unless you’re named after New York City’s public information telephone helpline. In which case, that’s just fucking weird, dude.
As far as the opinion that I am a moron for thinking Kobe raped that girl. It seems the vagaries of the legal system will prevent both you and I from ever knowing for sure whether or not Mr. Bryant did, in fact, force himself onto that woman. In fact, the only two people who will ever know the full truth are Mr. Bryant and his accuser. I know it’s frustrating. Inquiring minds want to know. Am I right?
But where you really lose me, Bruiser, is in the second part of your comment, “Open your mouth wide Vick right down your throat!!!!”
I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to say here. Does my belief that Kobe Bryant may have raped a woman directly lead to the insertion of Michael Vick into my throat? And how much of the Eagles quarterback will be going down my throat. Are you insinuating that Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick will orally rape me because I believe future hall of famer Kobe Bryant raped a woman? Because that seems to be perpetuating the cycle of sexual violence, and I think we’d all agree that’s not a direction we need to go in.
Oh, and one last thing before I go..
It’s “you’re,” not “your,” YOU UNEDUCATED FUCKTWAT!
