Today, in Bell Curve, City Paper printed this item:
0 Thirty-four high-schoolers graduate from an alternative school program at the Army Experience Center at Franklin Mills. Will celebrate by killing people their own age for money.
Which pissed off one reader, who left us this NSFW voicemail. Presented without comment.

There's something about the way a guy with a strong Philly accent says "scumbag motherfuckers" that just warms my heart.

I'm a little insulted that the Metro, Foobooz (!) and Philebrity got mentioned, but City Paper didn't. But still. Alert the "Down the Shore" girls indeed.

This is a pleasant scoop. I did not see it anywhere else.

Millions swayed by his plight while searching for a nice place to read and sip green tea!
Palestine to be freed thanks to one ugly website and its unique use of capital letters, gifs!
Good luck to you, Flying Saucer Cafe. I dig your cozy non-Cosi-ness. I hope you can restore your website soon.

When I was on the phone with the Network Solutions support guy, he looked into the code and had himself a little chuckle followed by "... lazy hackers" then in 30seconds it was fixed! Thanks Emily!

You know, I always thought the dudes at the700Level were too wordy (and too enthusiastic) to keep doing it low-profit style forever. But I was a little surprised to hear they'd entered a cushy financial arrangement with Comcast SportsNet. I mean, buying NBC is fairly Comcastic. But a local sports blog? Didn't see it coming. Quoth Michael Klein of the Inky:
Comcast SportsNet yesterday said it had acquired the five-year-old site and hired founder Enrico Campitelli Jr. and awarded contracts to contributors Matt "Matt P" Pesotski, Andrew Kulp, and Andrew Unterberger.
Of course I'm a little wary, but the bloggers did make this reassuring claim in their announcement post:
The700Level.com will retain editorial independence, while tapping into the unique access, technology, and resources of Comcast SportsNet in Philadelphia.
A little corp-speaky but okay. Take the money. Use the highlight reels. (And, if you can, find out why my remote is so slow.)
Good for them.

You should. It's pretty amazing. I tried it yesterday, when it debuted, going from The Clog headquarters to Studio 34 and by golly, it knew where bike lanes were and where the South Street Bridge wasn't and everything!
I bet Stu Bykofsky is drafting an anti-Google bike maps column as we speak.
Plugging in my commute from Bella Vista to Market Street west of Broad produced goofy results. It tried to send me through all these tiny streets in Wash West. It's not the way I choose to go.
Anybody else think we are, as a a city, behaving sluggishly, if not stupidly today? Take this poll from Philly.com.

I mean, first of all: How often do we have to answer opinion polls about proven scientific facts? D0 you believe in gravity? Where do you stand on Underwear Gnomes? We are embarrassing ourselves in front of our alien superiors in their spaceship-shaped spaceships.
What a bunch of jackasses we are. I'm going to vote Yes very soon. I need a nap first.
Funny, I've been thinking the Clog has been a bit sluggish lately. Since January 29 there have only been two non-Askadelphia posts. I have an Askadelphia question of the day: Did the Clog see its shadow?
Jesse, The short answer is that the plague has been making its way around the office. We'll be back on it here soon.
Mad TV already introduced a version of the iPad.
