Awful Myspace Page Makes ‘DN’ Cover

Hey, look, my Myspace pal from South Philly made the cover of the Daily News today! Not quite sure what’s up with that cover though: Is that… a laptop? On, like, a graffiti-laden streetcorner? That is a good place to use your laptop. And with citywide Wi-Fi… uhm, nevermind.

Nice touch with the Vito Genovese photo, too.

The Daily News is all, OMG this 18-year-old drinks and smokes pot; unfortunately for him, unlike all the other 18-year-olds who drink and smoke pot, he put it directly on his Myspace page. Oh, and unlike all the other 18-year-olds who also already do that, he went and ran over two women with his car. Allegedly while intoxicated!

The cops executed a search warrant yesterday and took this kid’s computer. (Weird.) The best part of the Daily News story is this:

“LOok AT ALL DATT WEeD!!!!” he wrote under one photo. “ahaha brought a POUNd just 2go 2pROM!!!!!!”

He also posted a picture of a sign, seen in many store windows throughout the city, that reads: “I proudly support the Philadelphia Police”

In the caption to that photo, Genovese writes that “i putt a dutch infront of the piggs posterr . . . ”

A dutch, according to the Urban Dictionary, is a cigar wrapper that is typically used for rolling marijuana.

The Daily News feels its readers are not familiar with the song “Pass the Dutchie.” The article is like 450 billion words long and is the most descriptive version of a Myspace profile, ever. I did enjoy this, though:

Some of his online friends seem to be just as oblivious to the severity of the charges facing him. One friend wrote that he was “never gettin aride” from Genovese again[.]

I don’t know; wouldn’t that mean the friend was pretty aware of the severity of the charges?

Leftovers: Philadelphia Is Duizelingwekkend!

• According to Dutch magazine Winq, Philadelphia is great for gays! Or maybe not. This whole thing’s in Dutch, so I can’t make sense of it. But I still dig the prose: “Pardon? Jawel, Rocky, van de film Rocky, Sylvester Stalone in zijn gloriejaren. The Italian Stallion
stond symbool voor het verslagen, ontvolkte en verloederde Philadelphia van de jaren zeventig.” [The Clog]

• As promised, the Wall Street firms have gathered in Shawnee on Delaware, Pa., and they… well, we dunno. But they’re there, and they’re possibly thinking about having a backup Wall Street somewhere around there. [AP/Philly.com]

• An official Philadelphia Will Do Recommendation™: The Philebrity Weekender. Some of the better local bands are playing at this thing. And a happy two-year anniversary of doin’ the whole blog shindig (as a job, to boot!) to Joey. [Philebrity]

• The Erie woman who beat her baby daddy with her baby said she didn’t mean to do it. Oh, well, then, we better give her the Brett Myers treatment. [AP/Philly.com]

• Breaking: Men can be nurses. Hmm. [Daily Pennsylvanian]

• Almost forgot! Tonight, Dan Savage with Liz Spikol at the Troc! And it’s a benefit event for Philadelphians About Santorum. If you like your politics left and your male sex columnists gay, then this event is for you. [The Trouble with Spikol]
