Gothamist has blogger quotes from new ANIMAL

Gothamist quotes bloggers in ANIMAL, since the lucky bastards live in NYC and could grab an issue before the mail got it out to PA. Each quoted NYC blogger uses the usual patter:

David Hauslaib (Jossip): “For the most part, blogging is like having sex with Kevin Federline: You don’t want to admit to it, but you know you spewed evidence of it everywhere.”

Jessica Coen (Gawker): “[A blog is:] a continuously updated site, presented in reverse chronological order, which combines links and commentary to create a giant, masturbatory exercise in perceived self-importance.”

Why is this name-dropping, vulgarity, and self-loathing the dominant New York blogger tone? We need more humor like Rachel Sklar’s, halfway between snark and webcomic silliness:

Rachel Sklar (FishbowlNY): “After developing carpal tunnel syndrome and a lovely, knobby cyst on each wrist, I realized that I should probably not take my wristal health for granted. Yes, I made that word up.”
