Death Wish
It seems I’ve received a failing blog review and death wish (”Time to Slash the Kid”) from TrippinTV, a site I must say I never heard of until now. The site seems to be a video-version of Forumosa. The Taipei Kid was called “crap” and full of “retarded” articles.
From the review:
The Taipei Kid is one of those blogs that disgusts me simply because of its…incredibly trite writing style, lack of detail, poor use of pics and worst of all its “nutless” ability to actually say what it really means when its hacking on someone else!
Frankly, I am surprised “bitchy” and “shallow” wasn’t mentioned. Anyway, um, thanks for the free publicity I guess. Yes, we know this blog isn’t quite the same as its previous version, as a friend recently mentioned, but having a puppy that’s been in and out of surgery all summer and being freed from the chains of grad school has sort of changed my focus to other areas.

“The site seems to be a video-version of Forumosa.”
Hey - we’re not THAT bad, TK! Take it back! Take it back!
I particularly like the OH SO classy line “and if you’ve ever been there [Carnegies] have you ever seen and innocent female in the place?”[sic]
I’m curious what Mr. Tim means by “an innocent female”. What an ass.
By the way, I recently went to Din Tai Fung for the first time too, and agree with you that while it’s good, it’s also nothing to scream home about. I’ve had far better (and cheaper) dim sum in both Vancouver and New York. That said, the pitcher of kiwi juice was fantastic.
I take it back! — TK
somebody missed her Premarin tab that day
hey, at least your name is in the papers, so to speak. Bad publicity is still publicity.
Bad publicity is… linkbait for a lame wannabe Web2.0 collection of YouTube videos.
Damn, if they didn’t like your site, I shudder to think what they’d think of the endless, self-related blathering I call a blog.
Actually, no, I don’t. One blogger dissing another blogger seems just accents the pointlessness of the whole thing (as is commenting on the subject).
Thanks for coming to the show last night; always good to catch up.
“Tim” likes to try translating the Taipei Kid’s prose, but I think it is fairly easy to translate his own review text.
Tim writes: “Why doesn’t the Taipei Kid have the balls to say Carnegies, where he hangs out obviously if he’s a witness, and if you’ve ever been there have you ever seen and innocent female in the place?”
Translation: Carnegies is my favorite bar in the world — it’s where I pick up dirty women I pay for sex, usually by throwing money on their crying, shuddering, bruised bodies after I’ve had my way with them in alleys where I’ve followed them. After all, there are no “innocent” women there — just the sort of whores my mommy warned me about.
Tim: “There is no way in hell that all the dumplings in Taiwan taste the same! I pity the people who skip the Din Tai Fung experience thanks to his pointless ramblings.”
Translation: Despite the thousands of former DinTaiFung employees circulating through local restaurants making some excellent dumplings, I am going to stick by what my tourist guidebook tells me. I don’t like to experiment with new restaurants EVER and expect all local blogs to parrot my view or else face the sort of consequences usually reserved for the painted-lady cunts I like to beat into submission on Friday nights.
I think I did pretty well on that bit of translation. I guess my prayers to St. Jerome have finally come true!
Hey, I’ve got a whole bunch of friends with blogs full of baby pictures that this “tim” guy can go after. I can just imagine his angry, outraged writings once he sees these so-called blogs:
Tim: “Benjamin & Sarah’s Baby Blog is one of those blogs that disgusts me simply because of its…incredibly trite writing style, lack of detail, poor use of pics and worst of all its ‘nutless’ ability to actually say what it really means when it comes to baby spit-ups, poopy diapers and quality onesies. And, as a card-carrying NAMBLA member, I think it is unfair that there aren’t more bathing photos.”
If a blog is a way of recording one’s activities, then your blog accurately reflects the fact that your life has been busy (and well enough prioritized) that you did not spend so much time on it when your real life got busy. Given that your blog is one relating to your own life, friends and observations with no overt agenda I can see that should open up your life to criticism from a “reviewer”, this guy is just being stupid.
“Tim” apparently has nothing better to do with his life than to sit on the internet all day and look at people’s personal blogs. He might just as well start spending time on the baby blogs or, to get a bit retro, to spend time blasting the family photo albums of random strangers. If your blog had an agenda (radical or conservative politics, religious, or otherwise) by which you were holding yourself out as representing more than just you, then I might understand your being a lightning rod for “reviews” from people who might wish to hold your agenda to account. But it’s not, and this guy is a complete wanker.
