Street Price of City Paper Skyrockets!
Craigslist killed the value of alternative newspapers? Bah. Washington City Paper has never been pricier than in this ad:
washington, DC craigslist > northern virginia > for sale / wanted > collectibles
Marion Barry City Paper (Incredible Headline!) - $20 (Falls Church)

I am fairly disgusted that you all are so proud of this piece of garbage. I saw a little boy, no more then 7 years old looking at the cover of this weeks City Paper at a coffee house i was in this week. I told the manager , and she quickly threw them all away.
You should be ashamed of yourself. If someone had used that language in front of my son I would have taken them outside and showed them what I thought about them. You should all think about that.

Wow, the kid was flying solo and chillin' at a coffee house reading a City Paper? They grow up so fast these days.

I think Vic is just trying to talk the Craigslist guy down to $15.

Just like they marketed the death of MJ, expect Creative Loafing to create T-Shirts with the cover page. BTW, more establishments are rejecting the cover. This time, they are simply flipping all copies over with the back side up. I've said enough about the cover, but anytime Fox5 news and The Washington Post are looking down their noses at you on account of vulgarity, that says a lot. Who's next, The Huffington Post, TMZ, Playboy?

Q, did someone "flip you backside up" & stick something in? You sound like you have a corn cob up your ass.

It's a shock classic. The fewer there are on the stands, the more cache it will have.

Nobody in my hood has seen one. I have been told the Catholic guys from 4 Ps (now called Four Fields) burned them all. They did not want their children to see them. Were there any nice photos of the parade? If I took out an ad in the last City Paper I would want my money back.

Angry Al, you continue to disappoint me with your insults. That is all you could come up with...picking a blog fight with me on two threads that I didn't even post on? You've already made ethnic insults, now you are exercising your homophobic ways. Which box I check for Ethnicity or my sexual preference is easily gleaned from some of the posts I've made over the past month, but I fail to understand what this has to do with the WCP page being on Craig's List.
Most bloggers after reading your ignorant drivel and after responding to you get more ignorant drivel are basically programmed to ignore you. You are truly 'loco en la cabeza' and no room in St. Elizabeth's could help your condition.
Rather than give you a digital lobotomy via this blog, let me simply say this...SPEAK WHEN YOU ARE SPOKEN TO and DON'T INTERRUPT GROWN FOLKS CONVERSATIONS.

Everything you have added to all posts on Barry follow the same stupid formula:
1) You hate Barry and all he stands for.
2) You think Black people are stupid for voting for him.
3) You want Barry investigated, thrown in jail and removed from office.
4) Blah, blah, blah you want your taxpayer's money back, yet you wouldn't set foot in Ward 8 to reclaim it if it was there.
5) If DC Voters listen to you, they will be better off.
Sounds like the ramblings of a madman to me. Or should I say a malcontented, angry one. Before you post again, how about you take a PROZAC first? If you can't afford your prescription, I'm sure Barry has some money set aside to subsidize the cost.

For the record, everyone, Q does not make comment policy around here.

Geez Amanda, I wasn't professing any comment policy. If I did, "Editor" comments would be severely limited, LOL! Angry Al, had it coming though. Is it comment policy to call people out on a blog where they didn't even comment? I respect his "right" to comment, but shesh, he needs to give it a rest with the unsubstantiated racial crap.
