Philly Weekly mocks Philly Mag with 'Being Hot in Philly'
Here we are, a week later, and everyone is still yelling "THAT'S RACIST" over Philly Mag's "Being White in Philly" feature.
The March cover story caused a great deal of controversy since hitting the Internet. It sparked responses in the Inquirer, Daily News, Philadelphia Tribune, City Paper, The Atlantic, and all over the Philly Post (how meta). Philly Weekly hadn't finished weighing in, though. The PW folks have gone the way of The Onion and mocked Philly Mag—and "Being White in Philly" author Robert Huber—with a cover piece of their own, "Being Hot in Philly."
START TRYING TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE of Philly’s beauty gap with other sizzling-hot sex machines around the city, and you’ll find that everyone has a story to share—whether or not they want to admit it. Take the gorgeous, classy brunette in a leather skirt I saw walking through Rittenhouse Square recently. I’ll call her Alexandra; it may or may not have been her name, but if it wasn’t, it certainly should have been, and I hope she takes that suggestion to heart. Anyway, from my vantage point across the square, I could see how two disgustingly unattractive men were bothering her—an old fat guy in a ratty baseball cap and a 
repulsive young punk with some sort of creeping rash across his face, probably contagious. Not only were they demanding her attention, they were intermittently blocking her MILF-y radiance from view by others, thus impinging upon the general welfare. [PW]
Nice move PW. Advertisers and subscribers also need to tell Philly Mag what they think of their sensationalism efforts. Instead of driving more revenue for PM I suspect it will and should backfire on them.— Earl J- Or does the response to the PM article quantify what it's trying to say...that only liberals and minorities can talk about race while caucasians cannot?!?
Just like semitic or antisemitic conversations, the nature of the racial conversation is not one nationality's to own and abuse as it wishes.
European blacks are appalled at the behavior of American blacks...and the liberal media in Hollywood ensures that that "Gansta" stereotype perpetuates itself to the detriment of an entire community of people.— Professor1982 - Blah. Blah. Blah.
There are three things in life you can't avoid- death, taxes and some crying, whining nonsensical post by Pathetic1982 posted as a reply to the first post.
Seriously. His life is so empty that he has to make sure his post is at the top of the page, as though everybody is just dying to read another one of his ignorant, uninformed nonsensical rants. He can't handle the fact that somebody posted before he did. Ok we get it. You are the smartest person in the world. But there is a worldwide conspiracy orchestrated by a bunch of dopes. But yet for some reason, despite you being a genius, you can't over come it. And the only way to stop it is to constantly whine on Philly.com.— AreaMan - Haha! This article is great.— daxtremesolja
- I think the folks who don't like the Philly Mag article protest too much. By there very attacks, they've proven that the thrust of the article - that discussion of race by anyone other than the liberal media - is radioactive to those who dare bring it up. No white person (or asian, for that matter) in their right mind would say what they are thinking on any matter relative to race in this city - unless they have the cloak of piety and invincibility that comes with being an armchair liberal. The folks who are attacking the article are practicing their own form of Animal Farm logic. As is very often the case, so-called "liberals" are actually the most closed minded and bigoted people around, when it comes to things they don't agree with.— PhillyDanny
- Well said. — kelz1966
- or they are well adjusted law abiding blacks or liberals who think that article only focused on the poor and criminal element. like most racists do. — black dog
- Hear, hear. Articles about law-abiding, hard-working, family oriented blacks are so boring, uncontroversial, and wont generate the intended wrath of the targeted audiences. — essell
- I agree with you that complaining about the article is complaining too much and I'm a BIG liberal. haters gotta hate on the rest of what you had to say.
- Left-wing McCarthyism. Read a few excerpts from Juan illiams book on how the orthodix left went after Bill Cosby with an orchestrated campaign for going against the status quo Black Victimization/blame everything on white racism and you'll see it all over again. Shameful.---http://books.google.com/books?id=D2LjLL8YYXUC&pg=PA12#v=onepage&q&f=false— tr88

Comment removed.- Kids like that run amok all over our office building on dress-down Fridays. For some reason the mothers misconstrue "dress-down" with not having to hire a babysitter that day. After a girlfriend of mine had a ten dollar bill swiped off her desk on a dress-down Friday aka: "We don't need no babysitter Friday", I always lock my stuff up inside my desk drawer. They start early.
