Watch this video and and lament. The girl in question is Margaret Seltzer, who sold a memoir about her hardcore gang banger life in South LA; convinced the New York Times she was a hcgb/in South L.A., and then was exposed as a big fat faker from the San Fernando Valley. Here she is telling us about how it is out there: did you know the homies don’t consider themselves Americans, they think of themselves as South LA gangbangers first?” It’s hard out here for a chimp (you ain’t knowin)/riding through the skies in a blimp/When Alfred Knopf come knocking on the door/and you got no prose and you poor…”
I listened to an NPR talk show in which they had to apologize for taking Seltzer seriously in a previous interview. They played clips from their interview. I know this is Monday morning quarterbacking: But how could they not have known she was faking the accent, the slang, the hard times? She sounded like a failed audition for one of the corner kids in The Wire.

Thanks for your advice on this blog. One thing I would want to say is that often purchasing consumer electronics items from the Internet is nothing new. In fact, in the past several years alone, the marketplace for online electronic products has grown a great deal. Today, you can find practically virtually any electronic gadget and devices on the Internet, which include cameras and also camcorders to computer parts and gambling consoles.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
