A Declaration of War Against Sex and the Ivy
Lena “I lowered my mouth over his cock and slid my lips over his shaft easily” Chen, the genius behind Sex and the Ivy, recently wrote us an indignant email, claiming that we “scooped” her without linking to her blog:
Saw that your full text of the Craigslist ad has the same omission “No Black, Asian, overweight, or unattractive women please” as my original blog entry (accidentally deleted “black” when I was editing). For future reference, I’d appreciate it if you linked to my blog when you use it as a source. Thanks!”
In fact, we received the tip in our inbox, probably because we’re a real blog. Gawker used the same text.
This is the girl whose daily postings of utter banality include delicious “scoops” like these:
I just had a flashback. It wasn’t until my mother delivered a lecture today on smoking, that I realized I watched “Thank You For Not Smoking” in its entirety last week while simultaneously getting high… In other news, I scored three packs of Turkish Golds for a cool $11.17. Hard to beat Cali bud or cigs when it comes to price (and definitely in terms of quality for the former).
Last night, I had those deliciously artery-clogging chili cheese fries I craved from a little greasy spoon in Westwood. Then my friends walked over to Diddy Riese for the $1.25 ice cream cookie sandwiches which I ate throughout last summer…
And on and on. We never knew boredom could induce nausea until we encountered Sex and the Ivy.
An Open Letter to Lena Chen: Next time we scoop you about how you were stoned last night, or didn’t have sex, or did something else quite boring that we don’t care about, or ate so much food that you became so fat you’d have even less sex to not write about, we’ll definitely take care to post the link (www.sexandtheivy.com). No one gives a shit about your blog. We don’t read it, much less steal items from it.
Bring it, Lena.
