Brooklyn responsible for $1.4 billion in lost export income
News article here. Seems that it was a Brooklyn based beef exporter that was responsible for shipping beef backbone which ultimately caused Japan to reinstate its ban on American beef exports. I should have known!
New Douchebags of the Week
So a few intrepid souls on Myspace have gathered enough temerity to steal some of the images on this site without my permission. I am referring specifically to one of the images in this post right heah. Of course, my revenge will be swift, and it will be terrible. Watch for it!
Why the BK smells
AP Article on why Brooklyn smells funny.
In addition to being odious, it turns out Brooklyn is odiferous as well! I thought oil spills only happen in Alaska…turns out we can have our own genuine oil slick right here in Greenpoint! Apparently the oil companies caused this environmental disaster (let’s not dance around it) over the course of the last century! How is that for committment!
Making Brooklyn Suck Less: A Series
This is part 1 of a multipart series titled: Making Brooklyn Suck Less. Here is a guy who is definitely making the BK suck less: Derek Lieu. He’s from Brooklyn and draws comics on his site Kick in the Head. I think it’s some reference to the fact that living in Brooklyn is a Kick in the Head, but what do I know – his FAQ purports otherwise. Anyway, I like his comics. They make Brooklyn suck a little less. I think my favorite one is the following one, where his character looks wistfully at NYC from Brooklyn. As it should be.
When you think of beach volleyball, think of Brooklyn
I know I do!
Bump, set, spike! Coney gets pro volleyball event
Big-time beach volleyball is coming to the Boardwalk. Brooklyn leaders are hoping the popular California sport, which features tall women in short bikinis, will create a big spike in business on Coney Island.
Yah, it’s been a while.
I know, I know. Perhaps I would have more time on my hands if I moved to Brooklyn, since there is nothing to do there. anyway, here’s something to brighten your mood:
A sweet 16th birthday bash turned bloody in Brooklyn early yesterday when a teenage partygoer was gunned down and another was wounded in a barrage of gunfire, cops said.

Assemblyman Clarence Norman Jr.Calls Failure to Report an ‘Oversight’
Assemblyman Clarence Norman Jr., who is being tried on charges that he violated campaign finance laws, admitted yesterday that he had failed to tell his campaign treasurer about thousands of dollars in campaign contributions that he had solicited from a gas station lobby. But, he said, his failure had been an “oversight.”
Oh, an oversight! I guess that makes it ok.
Apologies

You might ask, “So what, you bought a camera! What does this have to do with the raison d’etre of the site? Well let me show you:

Douchebag of the week: Dov Hikind
First of all, what kind of name is Dov? Second of all, you suck at life. Please end yours for the good of mankind. At this point you may ask, “who the hell is Dov Hikind?” Well, he is a state assemblyman from Brooklyn, and has been for over 25 years. Here is his picture, replete with the requisite smug smile typical of such men on account of their unbelievable job security.
Dov Hikind wins our Douchebag Of The Week Award. Congratulations, Dov!
You may also be wondering, “what makes this guy worthy of the coveted Douchebag Of The Week Award?” Here is why:
Dov Hikind Calls For Racial Profiling in NYC Subways.
Hikind, you sir, are a retard. This is a man who claims that he is �[a] spokesman against discrimination of any kind.� You, Brooklyn, have elected this man to office 10 times in a row. Predictably, he is �planning to introduce legislation allowing police to racially profile subway entrants.� First of all, where does this fuckstick get off spreading his poison in New York? Keep your backwoods hick philosophy in Brooklyn, where it belongs, you slackjawed, pandering, motard. Even though it is totally illegal, I hope this asshole pushes this legislation through, so he can make Brooklyn proud.
Here is a choice quote from the article: “They all look a certain way,” said Hikind, a Democrat from Brooklyn. “It�s all very nice to be politically correct here, but we�re talking about terrorism.” Ohhhhhhh! It�s terrorism we are talking about! That changes everything! Terrorism people! Terrorism! Oooga Boooga! Hikind, you are a stupid douche and you should shut your fat piehole. What the fuck does “they all look a certain way” mean? Can you possibly be serious? Thank god we have good men like Bloomberg and Kelly running the good part of New York and protecting us from this goofy bastard.
So, if you want to contact Dovy and express your gratitude for representing Brooklyn so well, you can write or call him here:
Assemblyman Dov Hikind
DISTRICT OFFICE
1310 48th St.
Brooklyn, NY 11219
718-853-9616
Or you can email him here, though i think the regular mail or a phone call would be better. Tell him how you feel. Tell him what a douchebag he is. And tell him Brooklyn Sucks sent you.
