Fuck me for making fun of the Berkeley City Council?

Well, I had no idea you were such a fan.

In case you misunderstood my point, the Berkeley City Council had an absolute shit-fit when Blockbuster wanted to open a store on Telegraph Avenue. They already had a store on Shattuck and Channing, and the Council felt that a second store, especially one in the epicenter of the boutique-hippy part of town, was taking the piss. They held protests, vigils, rallied, called the press, and I mean they got really crazy. They compared Blockbuster to the Mongol Horde, went into trances, invoked the spirits of their ancestors, burned incense, sang Kumbaya and "All We Are Saying, Is Give Peace A Chance". Blockbuster pulled out, and built six blocks south, on the Oakland side. My cousin told me that the storefront that Blockbuster had planned to rent remained vacant for almost three years.

So fuck you, you Berkeley City Council sycophant.
