It seems to be similar to the the Leveraged Sellout satire. http://www.leveragedsellout.com/ Probably the same group of writers.
this is why i dislike about new york... the NYT think they really are sitting on the top of the world... i want to see a "quality of life" survey from "bankers" around the world... do you really think Manhattan is the best place to live and work? how about making huge money in LA, miami or sydney?, monaco? sao paulo? i dont think is the girl/guy ratio matters when you have a cash flow im sure guys are f&%^#$ girls all over world.. whats so special about nyc? they all end up moving to south florida anyways/ and the women from NY are the worst too..f that
the event was not a hoax. Quote from zdreg: http://www.nypress.com/article-1932...tting-laid.html A line-up of seven models was in the DJ booth nodding to anemic dance music. One of them, Sabrina Roberts, a six-foot Afro-Chinese stunner wearing a tiny creme-brulee-colored dress�told me she wasn�t giving up on finance dudes. �One, they�re more interesting; and two, can you imagine if everyone was in fashion?� I asked her if she had ever thought of dating so-called normal people. She twirled around, took a sip from her champagne flute and asked happily, �How do normal people pay for champagne?�
NYC is an expensive rathole. I ain't paying income tax to a City or State. Florida is the best in this regard.
Reminds me of a story. Our offices are near the Sears Tower. Lots of people from different offices near by seem to gather there to smoke. I rarely tag along with my buds to give the eyes a break from the screens. Outside, there is always a few bankers, and one day it came to a showdown because we had heard enough. One of us asks the guy, "so how many hours do you guys work?" The guy, trying to impress, says some huge number of hours, and that he takes home a stick. My bud responds, that he works 30 hours a week, takes home 15 sticks, and then he goes and hooks up with the bankers' gf while he is slaving away. He does submit to the banker though, that he does have a nice apartment, and that his sheets are very soft. LMAO!!!! The banker responds if my bud got a chance to see the set of Katana near his bedroom... And the shit rolls on. It was friggin hilarious.
Douchebags banging douchebagettes. These conniving douches end up being the Thains and Dick Fulds of wall street and the douchebagettes end up being the kahleen Fulds. The douchebag Thain knew Merrill Lynch was bankrupt. Yet he found it necessary to renovate a office that was already renovated 1 year ago. Douchebagettes like Kathleen Fuld spends 10K on a ostrich bag because she's feeling blue. Any system infected with these douches is bound to eventually implode.
It would depend on individual tastes. Manhattan is the best for one type of person, while another city is better for others. I imagine NYC would be to crowded and bustling for my taste, and the other people from Sydney that I know have been to NYC have felt the same. On the other hand, someone who thrives on that activity might think Sydney feels empty and that there's not enough action. Different preferences, different lifestyles.
