Because I so frequently reference stories from NPR and the New York Times, I have a tendency to come across as a liberal media suckup.  I’m getting to the point where if I’m not careful, I’m going to sound like Homer Simpson reviewing food [Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?].  In order to keep it real, I just gotta hate on a few things.  I will now channel the spirit of Slappy Squirrel:

• NPR | Youth Radio
  • I am too old to relate to you.
  • I am too young to forget that people your age aren’t that innocent.  
  • I don’t care What’s the New What.  
  • Your voices piss me off.  
• Urban Seoul [NYT Magazine; 2008-06-08]
  • Wow, nice title.  I am sure that the Seoul/Soul pun doesn’t get used a thousand times each day.  Next thing you know, Snoop Dogg and Bobby Lee will do a film project called Seoul Plane [or if Bobby Lee is busy, they'll use Jet Li or Jackie Chan.  It is a short list, seriously.]
  • The story is about a [presumably] white guy from Princeton that goes to Korea, dates a Korean girl and is surprised when said Korean girl gets accosted by an older Korean guy that doesn’t believe in miscegination.  There are assholes everywhere.  Duh.
  • Who the hell uses the phrase “break his face“?  I mean other than the illustrious Lovefoxxx (CSS of iPod Touch/Music is My Hot Hot Sex fame) in This Month, Day 10.  
  • What calibre writer would ever allow there to be a single sentence that reads: “Our chopsticks will be flying.”?  
  • Just a shit article.  
• A Taste Of Beef In South Korea [NPR; 2008-10-19] 
  • Rebecca Martinez, Your Korean-American friend Jean has the world’s worst voice.  
  • This story goes nowhere - I thought that watching food shows on TV was useless, but hearing about is on the radio is even more useless.  
  • I want 3:05m of my life back.
