Relic hipster icon bashes Fourteenth Street mag on blog

Ironic though, isn’t it?

After reporter Josh Fernandez gave Philebrity.com editor and co-founder Joey Sweeney ample opportunity to put in his expert hipster two cents for his Fourteenth Street magazine (inserted in this week’s issue of TTN) cover article on hipsters adopting queer style, the blog, true to its form, published a barely-there, almost-funny-but-not-quite post attempting to ridicule the mag.

In its post, Philebrity boasts Sweeney’s response to Fernandez’s request for comment, saying, “Instead, he forwarded the email to all of his friends with the subject header “PLEASE KILL ME.” A decision, for the record, he still stands by.”

Funny, because Sweeney’s actual response to the request went something like this: “Hi Josh- I’m gonna pass on this one. Good luck!”

Fourteenth Street thanks you for the free publicity, Philebrity. How are ad sales these days?

As a kind sidenote, your “hip” use of Yiddish words is facacta in itself. If you’re going to muddle other tongues, at least have the decency to learn to spell the words correctly. Or are you too cool for that?
