Lambda Lambda Interpol Wednesday

Yesterday, after once again returning from The Standard (we like), we quickly peeped the day's hits. On the afternoon of July 4th, the magazine had surpassed 1,000,000 hits for the single day. This is not a glitch. Apparently, ignore's ongoing features "Miami Vice Looks Like Shit" by Hunter Stephenson and Sven Barth and "The Birds & the D" by Avenue D have taken on nerdilicious lives on the web. We've received a few emails alerting us to having first seen the Miami Vice article on CNN or CNN.com (these emails were written by seemingly unrelated mongoloids), but we haven't been able to confirm or deny this. If you see the article elsewhere online, please email: ignore at ignoremagazine.com. Here's is a bit of mail, of the hate variety, from today, edited for length only.

This article made my brain hurt. Like Mark Twain, I also find the English language and its peculiar vernaculars fascinating, but no over-used slang term attached to aviator sunglasses will make one a
hipster. The points of this article were so abscured by this clunky clap-trap of a review that it came across as MySpace fashionista-esque explorations into mental masturbation; a pseudo-review for the "HotTopic/Urban Outfitters" Jet-Set.

Please - put down the crack pipe when you write these in the future. Sarcasm is nice when used correctly,but this drivel made it come across as hackneyed and contrived. In the future, please read less like an art-fag blog and more like a REAL sarcastic-yet-true review.

The inanity and sheer buttfuckery of your writing style leads me to believe you were left mentally retarded in childhood as a result of some sort of head trauma, and given how much you seem to love punishing would-be readers with said style, I believe you did it to yourself, perhaps while attempting masturbation with a tire iron. I do not know what crack-whore children such as you did in your neighbourhood for fun back in the 70s and 80s, but your case is a shining example to the world on just how much brain damage can be done if one's mind is truly set upon the task. The article drips with malformed metaphors and words such as "shit-log", and leads the reader on a winding path through the drug-addled mind of the desperately retarded. Woe to the person who tries to make sense of anything there. The subject matter is not even terribly clear. In your role as writer for this magazine however, let me be the first in a very long line to call you and your illustrator miserable failures worthy of any and all ridicule and vile criticism you may receive.

From Travis via email
Fuck! WTF is this? My friend sent me a link to Miami Vice article. I couldn't make it through the first two fucking introductory sentences. You are an embarrassment to Miami and to journalism. Go to fucking college. If you went to UM, my point still stands; GO BACK TO FUCKING COLLEGE YOU HIPSTER PRICKS.
