Top 10 Blog Posts On Philly Will Do Reveals: DMac Is The Laziest Motherfucking Blogger Who Has Ever Lived
It’s been a while since we checked in with Philadelphia Will Do, Philadelphia Weekly’s superwacky LOL-inducing blog about about the goofy cast of characters that inhabit this kooky city and… make me want to kill myself. In fact, after we took note of its author DMac’s late night meltdown nearly a year ago, we’ve been pretty content to groan from the distance of the Google Reader, that wonderful place where one can view the blogosphere with the aesthetic equivalent of three condoms wrapped around your entire body. But recently, we winged it on over to willdo.pwblogs.com (catchy new address, guys) to inspect the new design (and also marvel at the fact that PW has such little confidence in its blogs that it has, for the moment at least, stripped them of all advertising) and noticed the Top 10 post graphic you see above. Peep it for a sec: SEVEN OUT OF TEN TOP POSTS are about local newsanchors. And most of those fed directly from Dan Gross/Michael Klein. For real, dude? This is your hit parade? Christ. We can’t wait until what is happening to newspapers happens to blogs.

is #8 in that graphic a typo? or did it get cut off? either way, “apologiz” is now a permanent part of my vocabulary.

Does one apologiz to someone, for something, or all over someone?

Dmac just IMed me. I think he wanted me to apologiz.

@Tvox depends on the act that needs apologizin.

Does anyone know how to get an apologiz stain out of cashmere?

Interesting timing for this, the same day someone linked to an old PWD post about your Infiniti gig.

That was what led us back there! Also: TONS of weird scary spam in the comments on that jawn. Also also: Totally smells like apologiz over there. Grody.

I can haz one way blog bus ticket outta here?
More Darren! LESS PW wanksterisms!
Arn’t they supposed to fold or sumpthin anyway?
BTW, why does 75% of their staff write in teenage neo-valley girl vernacular?
An why is it primarily the males that prattle on like this was the mutha’fuckin Babysitter’s Club?
For instance,
“We’re all pretty over Pink, right? Like, she’s boring now and everyone gets that—her whole “I’m the anti-Britney/Paris/Jessica/Pop-tart” meme has been exposed for the BS it always was, her loud declarations of “MY IMAGE IS MY OWN, I’M NO MARKETING PLOY” as see through as the dress Ginger Spice wore to that kid’s show. Essentially, Pink = old Avril. She’s the Pabst Blue Ribbon of music. Or something. BORRRRRING.”
Somebody “splain” this phenomenon to me please.

@Blatz: They paid some local coder to develop a “Philebrity Translator,” but it hasn’t been working out so good. Apparently there’s just a few one’s and zero’s difference between the “wasted millionaire” voice and the “exasperated teenager” voice.
