NYC YuppieCult Blog Gothamist shills for the sweatshop magnates. And they disable comments on the post, so readers can't pipe in. It's a shame too, because i wanted to post something snarky about how if Nike lets you design your own shoe, the logical next step could be an opportunity to slum it in the maquiladoras (or whatever they call 'em in Guangzhou and South Korea) and actually make the shoe. Not very incisive, i know, but now i'm more frustrated with the blog itself, for being the "promotional partner" of one of the more evil corporations on the planet and so brazenly abandoning any pretense of "objective" (which never really exists anyway, granted) journalism in the process of kissing Phillip Knight's air-jordaned, made by a Honduran 12-year old, feet. This kind of bloggertisement is pretty reprehensible.

And yes, Pedro Martinez was awesome last night.
