MTV's Real World is coming to my town.
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/05/the_real_world.htmlFrom BrooklynVegan.com: "Oh good Christ. The next season of The Real World, MTV's drunken, disease-riddled dinosaur of a reality series, (the 21st!) will be set in Brooklyn."

If I am inconvenienced at all by those fucking people, I will be upset. Very visibly upset if I am drunk.

@Carlo: If they are anywhere east of the Bedford stop on the L, they will certainly get fucked with. But if they are off the L, I would really think they'd be at Bedford.
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
...But I know if they are in Williamsburg as opposed to Park Slope or something, they will show up somewhere that I drink at. Fuck.
Carlo said, (115 days ago)
I doubt they'd be in Park Slope. Definitely off Bedford. Maybe even Greenpoint.

oh good christ, indeed. i think they should definitely have them live in the mickibbin dorms in bushwick. http://gawker.com/tag/mckibbin/
a loft in disneyland-bburg is more likely, of course.
sigh.

@Chrome Raven: Unfortunately. I mean, I loved it at a time, but it's over. Done with. End it already MTV. Please.
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
@catlady: Noooo! McKibbin is even closer to my apartment! Hahahahaha. I need to move...
catlady von doom said, (115 days ago)
@ash: at least for the summer...
you brooklynites might actually have to hide out in manhattan...
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
@makelikepaper: The smartest thing at this point would be to buy a place off of like the Jefferson stop. In a few years that will be GOLD, and then you can just move somewhere else... But in all actuality, I want you closer to me so no reconsidering!!!! We will shout "MTV SUCKS" as loud as we can every time we see the cameras!

I am so excited. I want to find out where they will be and mess with them. Like deliver pizzas and live chickens to their apartment.

@catlady: I never thought I'd see the day. Actually, that's a lie. In the 3.5 years I have lived in East Williamsburg, it has changed sooooooo much. It's all bittersweet... love having new bars, thrift stores, and coffee shops by me... but rent keeps going up and up and douchebags get more plentiful...

They were in Denver for a season and I never even noticed they were here.
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
@Corey: I will be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. The best being never noticing that they're here...

@Carlo: The first week I lived out here I got assaulted on the street. Punched in the stomach buy a guy who then said "Give me your bag if you don't want to get hurt bitch."
Carlo said, (115 days ago)
But Brooklyn is a lot smaller than Denver. It's hard to NOT run into people you know.
makelikepaper said, (115 days ago)
it will be a loft like the one in gossip girl. somewhere off bedford. there's no doubt about it.
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
@Carlo: Well said. I really don't see how I won't notice them if they are in Williamsburg. McCarren Pool beware. FUCK.
Carlo said, (115 days ago)
Ashleigh: Damn, that sucks. You still had that "just moved here" smell on you.
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
Sugarland and the Metropolitan - look out for the one gay guy in the cast. Ugh.
Carlo said, (115 days ago)
Ok, once we figure out where they're going, I'll think up something big to fuck with them.
catlady von doom said, (115 days ago)
yeah, unfortunately it's never possible to stop the douchebag onslaught. (you know i live on ludlow street, right?)
catlady von doom said, (115 days ago)
@brainforest: so nice to see you. just earlier today i was thinking of you and gti and how the twain hadn't really been meeting, actually.
brainforest said, (115 days ago)
@catlady: yeah, I'm just not sure gti and i can see eye to eye.
whoa.
makelikepaper said, (115 days ago)
@brainy: really soon. I'm keen to get started on my move. Are you free the weekend after memorial day?
catlady von doom said, (115 days ago)
i'm not here much myself, i must admit.
just do the check-in once in a while.
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
@catlady: Ludlow?! How long have you lived there? So you're telling me that once douchebaggery hits, it just keeps coming and coming?...
brainforest said, (115 days ago)
@papery: on that saturday, I have my punchathon (http://neverslapthegiftdonkey.com/earnesty-and-punch/) but sunday = yay.
catlady von doom said, (115 days ago)
12 years, my friend. 12 long increasingly douchebag-filled years. yeah. sorry.

When they were in philly, people would always throw shit at them and shout at them.
They were some of the most rude, brash, inconsiderate, space-hogging, attention whores I had ever seen.
Being a civil pleasant person doesn't make for good television, ya know.

oh man, there is a comment on that brooklynvegan thread that is so priceless and spot-on:
"Not surprisingly everybody on here that is pissed about this happening is also surprisingly well-versed in Real World history.
So you got to Williamsburg 2 years before it was totally played out, AND you watched the Real World before it was also totally played out, and both turned into a bunch of spoiled chasing girls and preening in shitty clubs?! Wow, that IS fucking cool. [....] It's like the Gangs of New York (and don't sat the fucking Warriors) reenacted by the spoiled rich kids that moved here in 2002 versus the spoiled rich kids that moved here in 2005.
Well, now the spoiled rich kids of 2008 are here, and they've brought a reality TV show camera crew with them. Would you expect anything less?"
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
@portableteejay: Thanks for giving me so much more to look forward to. :)
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
@sodoff: I suppose... I don't really buy the whole "spoiled rich kids of 2008" part at the end... I'd say it's more what TJ said - "rude, brash, inconsiderate, space-hogging, attention whores." I have no problem with spoiled rich people.
ashleigh said, (115 days ago)
@sodoff: And it actually was cooler before Williamsburg and the Real World were both totally "played out"... but for some reason I'm sensing sarcasm in that BV post. ;)
sodoff jonathan said, (115 days ago)
@ashleigh: I've heard this (that it really did used to be cool) from friends who've been there for a long time, but I'd never seen the place until 2000, by which time it seemed already pretty far gone.

They were here in Austin a few years back. The house was egged regularly and the kids were fucked-with pretty relentlessly whenever they went out. One of them got punched in the face hard enough to break bones around his eye socket two days after he got here. The guy was caught on tape and convicted if i remember correctly.
catlady von doom said, (115 days ago)
ok, i need to get out of here before i start defending real world cast members with 'hey, they're real people too...'
Do not want.
