Why Philly Sucks. And why we don't have a barstool... until now.





(Philly.com) So does Philadelphia have a blog tax? The city says no. It has a business-privilege license that is required of any business operating in the city. The license costs $50 a year or $300 for a lifetime license. Well, some bloggers who make a few dollars from Web ads were informed recently that they had to obtain a license. Not because they were bloggers, the city says. But because they made money. Something about small-time bloggers getting hit up for money by the government got a lot of blog writers and readers fired up. "Unbelievably stupid," wrote a commenter on BuzzFeed. "Even if you look past the issues of free speech and excessive regulation, no city progresses economically by making its young, tech-savvy residents move away." Philebrity, a local blog that makes money and has a business-privilege license, declared: "Philly brain drain is so drastic and wild that any sort of news story that runs anywhere about how the City, in an official capacity, discourages creativity or free speech feels like a punch in the face."

Here we go again. Another reason why Philadelphia sucks. Let's tax all the people who move here and try to start a blog which, who knows maybe will lead some more people into this shit hole of a city. I have an idea how about we charge people $150 every time they come into the city and take a piss. Maybe then the SEPTA terminals won't have that violent smell.

Seriously, how do you expect some low life bloggers like the bigguy, k-mac and myself cough up 300 spanks to run Barstool Philly? We don't have the bread to throw around like El Pres at the Boston stool. We are just a bunch of low income bums slummin in the Philthy pushing as much smut and flexing our blogging nuts as much as we can on the side of our real lives. Plus we need those three hundred bills so we can go get blacked at the local sideshow bar. I mean three hundos covers the 2 kegs me and bigguy pregame with. Leaves us about $100 for k-macs 6 pack of Zima and a night at the bars. We also need a few extra $$ for the carpet repair for when k-mac pukes the morning after.

So here's a big Fuck You to Philly. Thank you for once again discouraging the youth of the nation to spend anytime in this piece of shit city.
