Barbaro, America’s Favorite Zombie Horse
As you may have seen, a battle between rival Barbaro factions has been raging in the comments section of my latest post about America’s Favorite Horse. It began, as usual, with defenders of Barbaro — FOBs, or Friends of Barbaro — rushing to the comments to point out how evil of a person I was for beating a dead horse. (I was actually kind of hoping it would actually be fans of “Buzz” Bissinger coming to defend the writer, but apparently he does not have a fan messageboard.) Most of it is pretty normal, but I did kind of enjoy this one:
I do, though, wonder just why every single post must be countered. Look, as a blogger that [xx] thousand people read every day — I’m as confused as you are — I realize people are going to criticize me, especially since I suppose I’m viewed as a critic. Oh, no! Philebrity’s Joey Sweeney has mocked my Phillies coverage! What ever shall I do! I must run to the comments and defend myself! Not that people shouldn’t criticize me or, really, anyone. (Especially Barbaro fans.) Hell, if you think that I’m a terrible writer or person, I expect you to mock me. Feel free! (If you have some constructive criticism, please by all means pass it on, too.) If you think I’m missing out because I haven’t been to church since the Great Schism, feel free to say I’m going to hell and you’ll be laughing at me from the clouds. If you think Milton Street is a pillar of the American government, feel free to laugh at me too. And, please, if you think Barbaro is a saint, if God was rooting for him, if you think horse slaughter is an important issue, if you think I’m an asshole for hating a dead horse, then please by all means make fun of me. And, hell, please do it here, because my readers get an incredible kick out of it. |

Actually, thanks for the invitation, but it’s not even worth my time to comment on your thoughts.
Err, wait, you just did comment on his thoughts.
Now release the damn pictures of Alycia Lane riding Barbaro, or maybe Barbaro riding Alycia Lane, and this will all be over.
I think you did just indirectly comment on his thoughts.
Still trying to use Barbaro to get a little buzz going on your column, huh? Pun intended.
It’s still boring.Barbaro has gone to happier places and greener pastures, so he can’t help you.
I’ve decided not to comment on this blog entry.
Where are those Alycia Lane bikini photos???!!!
I refuse to respond to Beth’s refusal to respond to Dmacs invitation to respond to his assertion that he is not ever serious and not worth responding too.
Please, no one respond to my decision to post this.
In response to yt, where are those Alycia Lane bikini photos? I want to see them!
All you fucking Barbaro people should go to fucking Barbaro church where you belong and stop talking about religion.
by day a foe of barbaro, by night a foe of strawberry….
I refuse to comment about yt’s refusal to respond to Beth’s refusal to respond to Dmacs invitation to respond to his assertion that he is not ever serious and not worth responding too.
I also refuse to come to this site and read about Barbaro, comment about him, and drive up the traffic. Nope, you will never see Jordan on Philadelphia will do.
Oh, and make with the Alyicia Lane bikini pictures.
go to fucking church where you belong and stop refusing.
