Famous People’s Children on the Internet: As Dumb as Regular People’s Children
People do stupid things on facebook all the time. Some people post pictures of themselves urinating, others tell Public Safety in advance when best to bust their parties, and still others join groups like “THE Princeton '11 Party Crew,” a self-proclaimed “elite few… who will hit the Street the moment orientation is over... [and] Party like a Champion.”
Then there are the people who write on “THE Princeton ’11 Party Crew’s” wall (backup):
I'm writing to inform you all that some of us in Southern California are so excited to party at Princeton that we already had a party. We had Bacardi, Bailey's Irish Cream and several Coronas while bonfiring on the beach. It was great until it got broken up by the po' and we almost got cited but the guy was pretty chill. We went and got good food afterward. Oh yah and we found out one of us makes good fakes too ; - )
This wouldn’t be too remarkable – just run-of-the-mill pre-frosh douchebaggery – except that said poster happens to be one Antonio Villaraigosa Jr., the son of the mayor of Los Angeles.
We know, Antonio. It’s crazy tough drinking “several Coronas” on the beach because the fucking po-lice always get in your goddamn grill but it’s cool because sometimes they’re pretty chill, especially WHEN YOUR FATHER IS THE MAYOR. Also, it’s pretty chill when your dad lets you into the DMV late at night to make your own fakes.
Welcome to Princeton, kid. A word of advice: do a little more partying, and a little less facebook messaging. Also: in college, no one drinks Bailey’s Irish Cream.

Wow, these blog postings have become way too harsh…
July 9th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
I might agree were it not for the photo with Paris. A deft addition.

still very princeton heavy, but this one is great. at first i was like “don’t pick on freshmen, they’ll learn in time” but now it seems that the mayor needs to have a little chat along the lines of “hey son, don’t incriminate yourself in a public forum.”
well done, gents.

I think it’s a great post. Keep up the stellar investigative journalism and the snarky attitude. You are making the usual editors proud.
July 9th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
jacob savage is still very much a hater, but this post goes above and beyond his traditional anti-boat shoe, seersucker-burning liberalism. but the persona of a self-loathing princetonian is quickly emerging.

ps. i had that “take a picture with paris hilton” cutout at my bar mitzvah, and it was SWEET
July 9th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
definitely the best post by the guest editors so far. i hope this kid gets a reputation before he even sets foot on campus.
July 9th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
And here I thought it was only Columbia’s class of 2011 that was already the most annoying class ever. Turns out all of the Ivies’ classes of 2011 think they’re the hottest shit ever, and oh how wrong they are…
July 9th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
hahahaha that is hilarious. What a douche.
July 9th, 2007 at 9:02 pm
WHOA, kid loves to talk about how much he drinks!! Other comments on the board:
re accepted students weekend – “My host lived on a sub-free but I ran into some nice Latino upperclassmen who I pregamed with before going to that dance party at Cap and Gown although i did more than pregame”
re signing during said weekend – “Yup, I remember (despite being um, incapacitated, myself). I seem to remember everything unless I blackout.”
Calm down there, tiger, you’ll soon see that no one wants to be “that guy”…
(I guess I’m the one facebook stalking tho, and no one wants to be a facebook stalker either haha).

I see he’s following in his father’s grand tradition.
July 9th, 2007 at 11:30 pm
You mean this mayor? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,288717,00.html

The father got kicked out of private high school for fucking up. The same will probably happen to the kid at Princeton.

Harvard ‘10, what makes you think everyone wants to see your asinine post 5 times? And his dad is mayor of LA – pretty good for a “screw-up.” So please go and suck you own dick.
And what the fuck, people? Give the kid a break. Ok, so daddy is famous. Ok, so the kid posted something douchebaggy. Big deal. Do you know any normal 18-year-old that doesn’t brag (in poor taste) about how much he drinks? Give him a break…
July 10th, 2007 at 7:25 am
The internet sure is some serious fucking business. lulz.

C’mon, kids. Most freshmen parade around like jackasses boasting about how much they can drink. How many of you don’t have something similar in your history? And if you’re claiming you don’t, is it because you’ve really never done anything dumb? Or because, despite your chest thumping to the contrary, you were such a lightweight freshman year that you can’t really remember what you said or posted online? Yeah, he should’ve known better, being the son of someone in the national spotlight, but he’s just a kid. Screwing up is a rite of passage.
July 10th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
Antonio Jr. taking after his father…maybe that means he’ll soon cheat on his wife with a news reporter, get divorced, and have children not from his marraige but from “prior relationships”…what a mayor, and what a kid…
July 10th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
What;s all the fuss? What, are you a bunch of saints?
July 10th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
We don’t have jackasses like this at Harvard, thankfully. You’d think the son of a mayor would know better. Then again, his dad is a cheating douchebag so can you really blame him for his idiocy? =)
July 10th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
there are jackasses like this at every school i assure you. my thought is they tend to congregate in some schools more than others. harvard, i think, probably has less jackasses, at least of the woo, look how much i party sort then princeton. (that said, there are many kinds of jackasses.) generally though, offspring of public figures should try to stay out of the limelight, espeically when it involves how much liquor they can hold.
July 10th, 2007 at 5:20 pm
hahahah I love this post. not harsh at all if the reporting is true and the mocking is well-deserved
July 10th, 2007 at 5:53 pm
Not sure who “Stanford” is, but he doesn’t speak for me.
This kid looks like the biggest douche this side of the Mississippi. Thank God he’s not going to take over the King of Branner role. Even those annual douchebags aren’t as insufferable as this guy. No one bothers to list the alcohol they drank, unless it was especially bad or espeially good.
Also, I have had Bailey’s several times in college so I don’t know what the guest editors are talking about. Bacardi is gross.

Funny to see how this kid already has a bad reputation before even arriving on campus. Hahaha. I hope I don’t end up having him as a roommate.
July 10th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
this author wouldn’t happen to be THE jacob savage from Princeton would it? (aka the future david remnick?)
July 11th, 2007 at 12:29 am
It really wasn’t that bad. I think the article is a little harsh, and I’m sure nobody wants a roommate that makes presumptions the way you do, Princeton ‘11.
July 11th, 2007 at 10:54 am
“We don’t have jackasses like this at Harvard, thankfully.” Laughing so hard I fell off the chair. Right, no jackasses at Harvard.

bailey’s irish cream is in irish carbombs. carbombs are a staple of college life. that is all.
July 11th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
umm…apparently, you do not know how to comprehend a simple post. Saying that “there are no jackasses like this” is not equivalent to saying “there are no jackasses.”
July 11th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Hey, John & Ken on KFI 640 are talking about your article!
July 12th, 2007 at 11:23 pm
What the heck is Paris doing with an uglyass loser like him?
July 16th, 2007 at 5:44 am
omg. someone doesn’t have a facebook anymore. how will said student survive the early days let alone weeks of princeton without active membership in THE party crew??? nice work yall
July 26th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Another silly kid to join our ranks! Just what we needed.
January 17th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
OH GOD. give the guy a break. He’s jsut a stupid teenager being a stupid teenager. And from what i’ve heard all kids from Los Angeles are this screwed up. you guys shouldnt judge him so harshly, . sure he obviously drinks underage, but he got into the number one university in the country which says something…
