BREAKING: PARK SLOPE PARENTS™ FORCES MEMBERS TO RE-FINANCE BUGABOOS

You know what? I'm a parent in Park Slope; but I'm not a Park Slope Parent™. 

This latest fiasco is exactly why I don't want to be associated with most of the numbnut dickwads who sit around reading this listserv all day, clicking refresh so that they can find another lost hat to discuss the gender-ambibuity of.

The self-entitement of these PTA zealots has never been so evident as by their reaction to the addition of this 25$ membership fee. Listening to them, you'd think they were members of Mother Teresa's mission to Calcutta pleading the elders to waive the fee for their malaria vaccines; oops no wait, they're members of the most exclusive, gentrified, uppity parenting community IN THE WORLD. 

My FAVORITE is the people who instantly turn into overnight digital activists:

Information wants to be free! This is the internet, this isn't what Tim Berners Lee intended!

All of the sudden these scummy fuckin yuppie wall street parents are fuckin pro-bono John Barlow EFF supporters. Bitch please - let's see YOU give away somethin for nothin.

Guess what: PSP is a SERVICE - a community organization, not just a mailing list. SERVICES cost MONEY to run. One of the founders is a parent in my kid's class - she works on this bullshit 24x7 and it ends up losing her OWN money. Shit costs money, you fuckin hypocritical self-righteous hippies. If it's so easy, just go create another park-slope-parents-for-free.com and see how fuckin it easy it is.

Now listen - I HAVE to belong to this stupid fucking list because my wife gets crucial information for our kids there. Do I want to start paying 25$ for something I used to get for free? Fuck no; what are you stupid? 

But guess what - shit costs money. For those of you who are all-of-the-sudden socialists when it benefits you, get real and stop acting so surprised. This thing is a fucking country club, so if you wanna belong you gotta pay dues.
