A conservative radio talk show host called Jay Mundy describes his first visit to Williamsburg earlier this week. It’s kinda hilarious until you realize that people this close-minded actually exist. Some out-takes:

williamsburg-bathroom-0609.jpgIt is a place that is now the official hipster neighborhood of the United States of America…I never thought that could exist here…I couldn’t believe it. It is so left wing, how do I even describe it…If you could see what this place looks like…Just think of the most left-wing hippie, lunatic, nutcase; get that in your head and multiply it by thousands. It is extremely scary…Tattoos and people who are high on drugs all day and they are wearing weird clothes, like something you can’t imagine, like a Hollywood picture, but here it was in the real world. Someone I was with said it’s like all the misfits in this country went to this neighborhood. There’s graffiti everywhere cuz they think graffiti is art…They are extreme leftists. I’ve never seen so many sick weirdos gathered in one place. They’re all doing drugs all day. They have their hair died and tattoos so they can’t have a job so they’re all living on public assistance…They love Obama and the leftists and hate police power. They’re carefree people. If I lived there a day, I tell you I would be in jail for murder…They don’t believe in toilet paper there because it hurts the environment…I think even some left-of-center Democrats would be grossed out.

Someone better explain to this guy the difference between a hipster and a hippie. You can check Part 1 and Part 2 of the interview on YouTube.

  1. “shame you think so, ENY.”

    I don’t at all mean he’s correct in his assessment of Wiliamsburg – his comments are among the dumbest I’ve ever heard and he is clearly an uninformed moron. I mean that Mr. B’s posting of Jay Mundy’s stupid rant provoked a full-scale blog race battle here. In that sense, Jay Mundy wins.

  2. If anything Williamsburg doesn’t get a fair shake when it comes to nice pictures. Sure the majority of stuff there is crappy new construction but there is some nice architecture/blocks.

    Lots of great pics of Bed-Stuy (and CH) are showcased here and are frequently my wallpaper on my work computer.

    I remember a picture of Bainbridge and Stuyvesant about a month ago that was awesome

  3. I could quote a line from “It’s A Wondeful Life” and it would be just as meaningful and relevant.

    DIBS (What, we’ll all be here in 5 months)

    Someday there’s gonna be more strip clubs…

    Long live capitalism and the American dream….

  4. “As 11217 points out, there’ve been probably hundreds of photos showing the beautiful side of Bed Stuy over the years. Do you want to pretend that there is not poverty and decomposing housing stock in BS? La la land…”

    Ok I’m done Jon you’re full of shit! But before I go dig this…

    Someday this war’s gonna end. That’d be just fine with the boys on the boat. They weren’t looking for anything more than a way home. Trouble is, I’d been back there, and I knew that it just didn’t exist anymore.

    The What (Jon see me in 5 months)

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  6. “which is certainly more positive than anything the What has ever done for these neighborhoods. ”

    ” You looked like Cousin It in New York Magazine.”

    Morris where is this coming from? This is between Brownstoner and myself. How did you get involved? I’m going to hold back Morris let it go..
