Entry: Swilling from the America's Cup Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/swilling_from_the_americas_cup#894 Post contents: Taki says, "A restaurant owner who is moving because of the rising rents of Malibu calls the place the new Hamptons. Poor Hamptons. Once upon a time they were pristine, Waspy places lined with beautiful lawns, trimmed hedges and discreet houses. Now that Wall Street has taken over, the Wasps have moved to the wrong side of the tracks -- literally -- and the pigs have taken over." Taki, you get a D- for this essay simply because you use the lasy writer's slopy tactic of using animal names for those you mock: your use of the insectoid label "wasp" twice and then your use of the porcine label "pigs" convict you of a low class writing style. You may have titles or jewels like that, but you lack upper class manners when you use animal labels. Please stop. Sent at: 2008 07 09
