After three days on Tookie watch, I needed to do a story that doesn’t involve murder, execution, mayhem, mis-guided celebrities, etc. I came up with this:

The Gloves Come Off at LA Observed (sort of):

Independent Sources readers are already familiar with LA Observed since we point there frequently. In their own words, LA Observed doesn’t attempt “to persuade or to provoke discussion. ” For example, they never call us out for the vacuous, maladroit writing that fills Independent Sources. However be prepared to meet the wrath of LA Observed if you dare knock down a storied old building:

“…here’s the Ambassador Hotel from space before the bastards began demolition.” (emphasis added).

LA Observed rarely uses the term “bastard”. In fact in searching their archives, we only found one reference which was in August 2005 to describe the people attacking LAVoice.org.

Ditto, with their use of “jerk,” “idiot,” “pin head,” etc. It would appear that despite all of the less-than-impressive people and events that LA Observed covers, the only people that earn uncomplimentary adjectives are the following:

1. People who knock down historical buildings.
2. People who cyber-hack sites.
3. And this new one…People who deep link directly to pictures.

On our next investigative piece on LA Observed we will look into why the are spending their late hours looking at satellite photos of the Playboy mansion. What exactly are they looking for?
