JET magazine

Man, I love JET magazine. There's no better accompaniment for greasy food and bad music from the fifties. When I'm eating, I can't help but wonder what I'm doing with my life - JET has a careers section (that generally tells me to do a course in tourism and hospitality). When I'm eating, I want the latest news on what's cool - JET tells me who the hip-hop group of the month is. And, when I'm eating, I want to read this sort of thing:
"The fact that poor Arctic Monkeys are getting so much attention is purely based on the fact that the mainstream music business is such a bunch of retards, as far as I'm concerned." Thom Yorke of Radiohead, accusing the industry of being slow to get with the internet revolution. Speaking of mentally deficient, you'd have to be to miss the irony in Thom choosing that particular insult, given his somewhat 'unique' looking face.
Exactly that appeared in JET about four months ago. The bold is theirs, but the original appeared in ALL CAPS. Formatting changed to protect the stupid.

Oh my. Well. Don't worry that Yorke's eyelid droop is a result of botched operations to correct the paralysed eye he was born with. Don't worry that he doesn't make a big deal out of it, that he just gets on with doing what he does. No, no, if he's got a funny looking face he must be a retard! Fuck.

Oh, it's 'ironic' he used that insult, is it? It's ironic when people who don't look like us call people who look like us retards? You stupid fucks! The first paragraph of this news item, see that? That is irony. The word you are looking for is 'hypocritical'. Speaking of which, dear author, I find your own stance hypocritical, what with you being mentally deficient and all.

JET is an awful, awful magazine.
