For someone who laughs at almost anything, I didn’t think the convos were funny at all.

sry, but is ‘carles’ really ‘ahead of schedule’? i mean his blog is big & all, but does this now qualify as success on the level of m.i.a.? similarly, lin writes about his own success sort of obsessively. keep it to yourself.

@Pat: Grow a sense of humor. This conversation is kind of mind-numbing (and no, MIA definitely won’t be relevant in ten years), but there’s no harm in it. Hmmm well maybe if you’re offended by any mention of the n-word. But, even if this conversation was a series of jokes about dead black babies hanging from trees, it still wouldn’t justify calling Tao Lin talentless.

I really don’t understand why you posted this. “Vapid” and “nonsensical” are two terms that quickly come to mind but I feel like they don’t do justice to just how painfully boring, stupid, and disjointed this conversation is. I didn’t realize that NYU Local was in the habit of posting press releases from talentless stoners.

I do believe, sir, the proper vernacular would be ” ’splodes “
