Fake AP Stylebook jumps on the hate-Philly bandwagon

POSTED: Thursday, July 22, 2010, 7:45 PM
Filed Under: Web Junk

Dude, aren't we at the point yet where hating on Philly is so cool that it's become uncool? Throwing in the a propos-of-nothing Philly jab is about as original as thinking your baby is cute, or having arms. Making a joke about Philly sucking is like making a joke about Creed sucking. Snoooooze.

But alas, Fake AP Stylebook's Twitter has taken the uncreative bait:

hell - But capitalize Hades. Lowercase philadelphia.

Ha. Ha. Ha. You know what makes you even more unoriginal, Philly haters? Philadelphians have hated on Philly eons before you got around to it.

I love Philly, I reckon it's one of the best kept secrets of our fair country.  





Consider caring less about what other people think; at the very least, consider not taking anyone's offhand dig at a city as if it were a personal insult.  Hell, if you're feeling spunky, consider not caring about personal insults, too.



It'll keep the gray hairs at bay, and reduce the acids in your tummy.  Sweating the opinions of blogsters is a helluva way to spend your time on earth.



How on earth did I get here anyway?  Oh yeah, lookin' for something fun to do this weekend.  Back to it!
