What schlock!

I usually enjoy reading the New York Times - most of the time it has some articles that are funny, witty, informative, or just plain good (or all of the above). Like the entreprenurial bio-cleaning people I posted about a few weeks back. Strange, but interesting nonetheless.

So when I read this schlock about some poor artist schlub who broke up with his girlfriend and had to move out of Manhattan, I was like WTF? The article, other than highlighting the danger of living with a girlfriend who might want to move to San Fran, wasn't a good human interest story (the guy is just pathetic sounding), doesn't offer any keen insights (Manhattan is desirable for young artists, Manhattan is expensive) and the story is a little, off (it starts off sounding like this guy lost his perfect apartment because of his live-in girlfriend's plans, but the building went co-op, so he had to move anyway. WTF)

He must be very friendly with someone at the Times to be featured in such a dud of an article. Total crap.
