‘Metro’ A Little Insecure Of Own Standing
I know it’s hard to read the columns in Metro; there’s always the chance you’ll end up having to read Clark DeLeon’s experiences in the girls’ restroom. But now you have a little bit less to read. Last week, Elliott Kalan, Metro’s humor columnist and Daily Show segment producer, wrote a jokey column that included this line: “As this very copy of Metro shows, the only way to get most people to read a newspaper is to literally force it into their hands.” Unfortunately for Kalan, the interim CEO of Metro was in New York and read the column, and ordered him fired immediately. Apparently the truth hit a little too close to home. Oh well. Guess we’ll be seeing more of Mickey Z. now. Free Paper Without Free Expression [NYMag] |

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That guy was the only reason I read Metro.
P.S. I don’t read PW, either. Probably because it doesn’t get forced into my hands and there’s no funny Friday columnist.
P.P.S. it also isn’t short enough to read during my lunch break.
P.P.P.S. I want to fuck Barbaro.
humorists shouldn’t make jokes
Ugh… I just hope they don’t double up on the Clark DeLeon columns now. Kalan was the only readable weekly columnist they had.
Ya think?
I give you the first three sentences from one of Metro columnist Clark DeLeon’s recent articles. Seriously:
“Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig, doing whatever Spider-Pig does … Now that I’ve planted Homer Simpson’s singing voice in the back of your mind, we can proceed with today’s column. What is it about men and their pee-pees?”
They shit-canned the funny dude for this?
they should just run a big photo of Alycia Lane in a bikini instead of the daily column.
