    The Holiday season is in full swing in NYC, with holiday lights in Brooklyn, a giant snow globe in Bryan Park and Chanukah specials for ham. One citizen decided to go vigilante on annoying car alarms, a murder suspect used a fake Asian accent on the stand and a video of a man being beaten up by teenage girls on a subway shocked the city. And we interviewed soon-to-be-leaving-Gawker editor Choire Sicha, who said, "Wouldn't a kinder, gentler Gawker be hideously unreadable? No, we never talked about that. It would be hysterical but we haven't."

    ...You Go, Girl! Well that sure took long enough. (Via What Would Tyler Durden Do?)

    If there's a non-issue out there, chances are good there's an internet poll related to it as well. To wit, via Gawker we discovered that Philadelphia is a contender is in Gridskipper's World's Sexiest City poll. Not for "Sexiest" city mind you. Nor do we rate as particularly Masculine; Feminine; Gay, Lesbian or Fetish Friendly. Although we apparently lurve our straight people...as we are on deck for "World's Most Hetero Friendly City" - a designation Gridskipper kindly specifies meaning a city with "tons of straight sex not just anti-gay." Well thank heavens were not just anti-gay. We'd hate to think the world thought of us as one dimensional. (This is one time we're not sure it's an honor to be nominated.)
