Get over yourself. They were quoting a guy who was mugged. Us adults understand that we don't live in a G-rated world.
Seattle has an equivalent publication called “The Stranger.” I don’t recall that language used. That language does not belong in a newspaper published weekly and given out at 350 locations throughout the Minneapolis region. I have never seen those words spelled out in any publication I have ever read. I cannot even spell them out on the Free Republic. There are standards. If they want to communicate those words they can write “f**k,” “sh*t,” “bit*h.” I don’t appreciate such descriptions as “woman “with the hot ass,”” “elevating their game from jerks to bastards.” And, “ It’s so f****d (my edit) up I can’t even believe it.”
The “City Pages” needs an editor. The piece is way too long.
