Commentroversy: When You’re Smiling, The Whole World Smiles With You
Posted earlier today in reply to “10 Funniest Comedians In Philadelphia List Reveals: Helium Comedy Club Is Literally Hell On Earth”:
Why do you have to always put down everyone and everything? Just stick to the Arthur Kade bashing which is your ilk.
Anyway, my friend does their PR [...]
OK, hilarious punchline aside, this commenter has a point: There has been a shitload of bad news lately, and coupled with the fact that Philebrity has perhaps been pointing out what is stupid in the world more than usual (is that even possible?), there is definitely a need around here to get a little posi. And unfortunately, the Good Motherfucking News tipline has been a little quiet lately. So let’s put the call out for Good News, as well as some of the usual standbys: Breakout Philebrity, Cute Boy Alert, Band To Watch, Phashionista, Places We Can’t Understand, Rainy Day Specials, or anything else that’s all posi and shit that you think we’re missing. Send your tips to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com, or post ‘em in the comments.

This is GREAT news for me and my ‘hood! Awesome goodies, and, one assumes, no old school atty-tude when I try to spend my money in my neighborhood. Oh, wait, I was kinda negative in my positivity, wasn’t I? This positive thing is hard!

That’s right, channel that good karma. Oh, and if PR is so hilarious, maybe you should stop sending me press releases. Just a thought…
P.S. The thing posted above me about Green Aisle Grocery sounds rad.

@paige: PR is not hilarious. What you said and did was hilarious.

“Those plans for the Delaware waterfront are actually kinda goin’ places.”
I bet if we check the Philebrity archives, we’ll find the same quote in 1969, 1979, 1989, . . . . .
I’ll believe it when I see it.

Actually, have you guys ever done a feature like that? Something like the “10 Years Ago” thing Spy used to do?
November 10th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
way to bring down the “good motherfuckin’ news” post, buddy. oh, and as a side note, for all y’all that want to bring back Rendell, you can kiss any sort of habitable riverfront goodbye, and say hello to about four more casinos. dude was the one who let Penn’s Landing Corp run roughshod over the Delaware waterfront back in the 90’s. bad motherfuckin’ news.

incorrect use of the word “ilk” by the way….
November 10th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Yeah, you probably meant to use “niche” or “jawn”?
November 11th, 2009 at 10:18 am
or “oeuvre” if they’re trying to sound smart, which I think they were.
November 11th, 2009 at 11:20 am
or “reason that the Lord put you on this earth.”
November 11th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
idiom…
November 11th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Actually, read a little closer. Perhaps I meant it as a double entendre (there’s me trying to sound smart again.) The word ilk (defined as family, class or kind) may simply be referring to Mr. Kade himself, and not just the bashing.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
hahahahaha
Perhaps?? You didn’t. The sentence is grammatically incorrect if you did. Which isn’t really that funny, but vainly trying to still seem smart is.
