hahahahaha

You claim to have read the entire piece, then made a comment that not only beat Mohd to a firstie during his usual non-stop firstie hours, but didn't comment at all on the content of the piece and instead made a dismissive remark on a single word in the title?

And it's very apparent that many of the people saw the oh-so horrible word "problematic" and skipped straight to the comments without reading the piece and seeing that it was rather fitting. But, hey, it's the AV Club and unless it's an O'Neal piece people comment first and then maybe read after the fact.

You're a dude who takes exception to the word "problematic" for some reason, which makes all of your subsequent comments exceedingly funny.

Well, yeah, seeing as how some of the people who are actively on the streets and assisting in negotiations between the gangs were part of the gangs themselves there's bound to be a lapse from time to time, but the effectiveness of the program has been studied. The funding for the program is a drop in the bucket…

My sister's boyfriend lost his adjunct position at UW-Milwaukee during the most recent string of cuts, so I empathize. I love the state to death but it really seems if you do not want to work for Epic your job security is nil. WPB is great, though, so I hope you guys make it through the cuts if the budget gets…

Wisconsin is lovely and I wish that Milwaukee had public transit (again, thanks Scott Walker for gutting that!!) but there really aren't many jobs (again, thanks Scott Walker!!). Walker's union busting has directly impacted my family in a lot of bad ways.

They also completely ignore how the city's history of redlining and segregation in the 1960's and 1970's effectively caused the problems. Meanwhile, the city continues to get gentrified to hell and back.

Getting them in Chicago proper ain't easy, but all you have to do is take a short Metra trip and you're golden.

Rauner and Walker are trying their hardest to outdo each other in how horrible they can be.

It's a good album for makin' out to!

Per Discogs it looks like there were a couple of unofficial releases, but outside of that it hasn't been reissued: http://www.discogs.com/Whit…

No worries, m'man. I'm a huge Joy Division fan so this thread has been a bit of a hair puller for me.

It's a reference to the book "House of Dolls" (and its subject matter). Their song "No Love Lost" contains an excerpt of the book in it. Curtis' lyrics (particularly his earlier ones) were often political with anti-fascist sentiments ("Leaders of Men"). They eventually moved away from political songs for the most…

That reference was a deliberate choice too, which makes it a fundamentally different case than here. The song "No Love Lost" even contains an excerpt from the book "House of Dolls" from which the name came from. Joy Division isn't exactly happy music, either.

It's pretty good. Nothing spectacular, though.

I mean, both of those were explicitly political and artistic statements. These dudes, no matter how good the music is, don't seem to have any knowledge of what the name means.

D.H. Peligro isn't white…

I thought it was funny and worth killing 30 seconds of my workday for
