New York magazine has been attacking the media beat like Lindsay Lohan on George Clooney these past few months. Of course after their bloggers issue, we expected the backlash would not be far behind.

Besides those "young" (meaning sort of old) media elitists who hate us, this week we uncover the "subway perv," other cities besides New York, and a Jennifer Aniston movie that people might just go and watch.

• “Just look at that meat,” he says, poking around with a knife. “It’s really, really soft and fleshy.” Oh,nothing starts off our week like a fat, juicy subway flasher quote. [Onan The Vegetarian, Russell Scott Smith]

• There is a five way tie for the "second best cities" in the world. Though Rome should really be number one second best, simply for their refusal of Starbucks. [Spring Travel 2006]

• Calling all teenage girls! Having sex and doing drugs will totally get you a book deal. Get crackin', ladies, there's only so much Pam to go around. [Sex, Drugs, and Enticing Jew-Fros, Susan Lehman]

• Dare not compare Rodger Hodge to a blogger. Of course, he has no problem being likened to Bonnie Fuller. Ah … how quickly the tides of resentment shift. [Brainy Young Things, Carl Swanson]
