  1. Let us pray for the miraculous recovery of the auto industry so all these people go back to Michigan and Ohio, become middle managers and bore their children with their “wild time” in NYC.

  2. Obviously these people are total wankers. I have more of an issue with these lame “journalists” that use these people to stir up some sense of outrage. They’re easy targets, but the tone of the article makes the writer sound like just as big a jagoff.
