@confused regardless, if he got that drunk, how could he remember so many details from such an extravaganza

@c'mon One might say that the person who asserts that Olson is representative of all atheletes and jocks is, in fact, inadvertantly revealing what a narrow/low opinion of those groups he/she has. It’s not some grand culture war between jocks and hipsters.

@c'mon You don’t have to be a “pretentious chardonnay sipper” who hates all athletes and fraternity brothers on principle to find Olson’s writings pretty worthless and reflective of a pretty sorry character.

@Nope. I’m sure Jake is a fine fellow in real life, but getting a Spec column turns otherwise decent human beings into douches with keyboards. The problem is that everyone is bound to have a slow writing week, but rather than pass on seeing their face on that rag, they’ll fill a column with tripe or baseless insults. Jake Olson’s been having bad weeks for the whole year. Kwame might write stupid columns about his hair, but most of the time he’s got the decency not to talk trash about everyone just to get some attention.

@please these pretentious chardonnay sippers don’t know who bill simmons is and don’t realize that his over the top writing is meant to emulate that–as for the facebook thing–its definitely a pity–because no one has ever been over teh top ridiculous in an attempt to play upon some type of ironic humor, right?

…as for castigating his jock boy/’chavanistic’ demeanor (its seems your writers just don’t like athletic people)..it’s certainly pretty arrogant to claim the authority to do that when you’re authoring a pretentious, generally anonymous, arrogant and condescedning blog where everyone who disagrees with you is so obviously just a neandrethal who’s spent more time working on their linebacker drills while betting on cockfights and illegaly voting multiple times on diebold machines for Bush

@um I work on Spec, and I know Jake Olson.

@gosh can you believe they deleted the waffle iron post??

@Facebooker Mr. Olson is creator of the following facebook group:

Hookers and Blow

Description
Let’s put it this way: rock stars don’t party at the West End. Fuck this college bullshit. Real rock stars buy a fucking bottle of Goose, an eight ball, and three blond whores, then take them to the American Gardens building and do the blow off the whores’ fake tits. THAT’S what real partying is, motherfuckers.

Officers
Patrick Bateman/Sonny Crockett = Jake Olson

Procurer, Bolivian Marching Powder = Benjamin Baker

@Ah Ah, I see. The unabashed macho chauvinism, vapid materialism, and immaturity are simply a writerly persona. My bad!

@huh I don’t get what’s going on then because the mot-juste insult remains as a comment to yesterday’s QuickSpec.

@then what did “that’s exactly the word i was looking for” refer to?

@wasn't there a comment calling jake olson a douche up here earlier? did that get taken down?

@yeah What a class act! Jake Olson: boldly embracing the worst stereotypes about frat guys and future Wall-Streeters.

@hmm anyone else notice how closely the nyu article paraphrases the times article……now that’s reporting.
