How not cool is it that LES "visual artist" Aaron Rose had his identity stolen by Josh Schwartz and the CW? The Beautiful Loser was minding his own business, gallivanting around Europe, when he was suddenly bombarded by "5,000 text messages" informing him that a doppelganger Williamsburg artist named Aaron Rose had become Serena's new love interest in the teen hit Gossip Girl!
The audacity! Aaron Rose is not Wallace Shawn's son in real life! You just feel so bad for the real Aaron Rose, who is apparently famous(?) and doesn't like that such a petty show is "messing with (his) reputation." Or maybe he's just sad that the show is bringing in way more fans than he ever could with his avant garde hipster scrawls. And remember: Aaron Rose was merely a teen character in the Gossip Girl books, not a famous artist. So it could be just a coincidence.
Below, a clip of the more tolerable, less real, artist-in-residence.
Yeah, no. The real Aaron Rose hobnobs with Shepard Fairey and Harmony Korine, not Serena van der Woodsen and Lydia Hearst. Those plebes.

I wish that Navy jet would have crashed into Williamsburg. Do they even have a fire department?
Screw you, Karl Spensen. You don't know shit about shit. I left Williamsburg because the rent got too high, but I'm still close by, and, yeah, it's a little obnoxious, but if you knew anything about Brooklyn, you'd know that there is no neighborhood made up of just one kind of person. And believe me, there's still no "upscale" gallery in B-Burg. And, yeah, our fire department got shut down, which is horrible because there's a chemical plant in the 'hood (how's that for fancy?), and it was one of the few firehouses with the proper equipment to deal with that. Thanks for the kind wishes blowhard.
My my, aren't we touchy? You're right, Williamsburg does get a bad name. People think it's full of spoiled, pretentious assholes who think they're better than everyone else. But clearly you've proven me wrong!
um… guys… what about this tool that actually thinks that his "identity" was stolen?! ahaha… ego much? HE'S the pretentious-asshole-blowhard.
p.s.: random, you two. WTF?
How is it being spoiled and pretentious when you're saying that a fire company got shut down, which is an awful thing to have happen? And that people shouldn't generalize about an area based on ONE person's character?
If anything, wishing that a jet crashed into Williamsburg is crass and makes YOU look spoiled, pretentious, and thinking you're better than those OTHER people in W-burg who oh-so-obviously DESERVE to have a jet crash into their town, Karl.
