href="http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20162677_20164091_20247335_14,00.html" target="_blank"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em></a> has one man reporting his opinion of the best and worst of 2008, however his sheltered views are making it hard to keep my $5 starbucks coffee down.</p><p>Here is his review;</p><blockquote><p>How in the name of Lil Wayne did anyone possibly think the world needed a whiny mall-rat rock cover of his hypnotic summer hit? Granted, rock guys covering urban jams is a trick that some times works (see: Will Oldham&#8217;s delirious, faithful takes on R. Kelly favor ites), but just as often cheapens and disre spects the original (see: Dynamite Hack&#8217;s egre gious slacker-brah version of N.W.A&#8217;s &#8221;Boyz-N-The Hood&#8221;). Framing Hanley? Not worth the Claire&#8217;s boutique lip rings they rode in on.</p></blockquote><p>My comment on EW site,</p><blockquote><p>I think this is a biased and completely untrue observation.<br
/> However it one mans opinion and obviously based on Framing Hanley myspace plays not everyone agrees. Furthermore look at the comments of fans protesting against this one mans sheltered opinion.<br
/> Maybe in he got his head out Lil Wayne&#8217;s ass he would be able to see that great music comes in all genres.<br
/> jeanaarter.com</p></blockquote><p>Honestly, <a
href="http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20162677_20164091_20247335_14,00.html" target="_blank"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em></a> is a glorified blog space for those who have no better calling in life than to criticize other people.<br
/> I personally enjoyed both versions of the song and still listen to both. It is a matter of person music preference and to diminish a bands talent purely based upon one&#8217;s personal music choice is not journalism, its more like lack of experience in the real world.<br
/> It is obvious to anyone with the internet and half a brain that not all of the world hated <a
href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&#038;friendID=3332563" target="_blank"><em>Framing Hanley&#8217;s</em></a> version of <strong>Lollipop</strong>. Their MySpace player has almost 9 million hits alone.<br
/> Seriously this site rated <a
href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20162677_20246873_20247024,00.html" target="_blank"><em>The Dark Knight</em></a> and only the thrid best movie of the year.<br
/> I believe to be a good or even mediocre journalist one must take into account the facts about what one is reporting. <a
href="http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20162677_20164091_20247335_14,00.html" target="_blank"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em></a> is saying these rankings are based upon viewer/listener opinions as well as staff opinion and yet have provided no proof.<br
/> The other thing to remember if there actually was a viewer/listener poll, most people that listen to rock are not caught up in <a
href="http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20162677_20164091_20247335_14,00.html" target="_blank"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em></a>, therefore would not know to participate in the polls.</p><p>I get annoyed when idiots are put in position of power and are able to reach people in mass quantities and yet have nothing better than their opinion as support.</p> <img

/> After I endure some lady from the marina bumping into my $2000 handbag about 20 times while shamelessly flirting with some older man I finally get my coveted cup of hot coffee.<br
/> Of course on the way to my car I have a smile on my face and I am greeted by my two wonderful chihuahuas when I open the door.<br
/> After I get all my things situated and remind my already hyper chihuahuas they do not need coffee I look in my review mirror and I am blocked in!<br
/> Seriously by these to crazy people fighting over my spot!<br
/> I decide to site quietly for about 3 min. Enjoying my coffee and good song on my ipod and the company of my chichis.<br
/> I look in the mirror and these assholes are still there. Arguing about who gets my spot.<br
/> I can not longer keep to myself because they are not wasting their own time, they have now wasted <strong>my</strong> time.<br
/> I get out and remind the idiots that if I am not allowed to back out there will not be a spot for anyone to park in.<br
/> Of course with no response, so I get nasty.<br
/> I put my car in reverse and start honking my horn while slowly inching backwards.<br
/> The lady in the porsche gets really pissed now but I keep on inching my way towards her $120,000 car.<br
/> After about 5 minutes of me laying on my horn and about 2 inches from her new car I am finally able to pull out.<br
/> The punch line to the story is that some one else stole the spot while these two were still arguing!<br
/> Is there really nothing better to do with your day people?</p> <img

/> I <strong>love</strong> being able to walk 2 blocks and get a wonderful hot cup of coffee in the morning. What I am starting to hate about the <a
title="Starbucks" href="http://visitmontanaave.com/restaurant/starbucks/" target="_blank"><em>Starbucks</em> </a> located on Montana and 14th are the people asking me to help homeless kids in LA.<br
/> Okay I get it, it might not be the kids fault they are homeless. However sitting outside a local Starbucks and harassing its patrons is not going to get you too far.<br
/> Dont get me wrong I feel bad for those kids, however cant these people change up locations every once in a while. They stand out there at least 4 days a week.<br
/> Furthermore, who is paying these to stand on a corner and collect signatures and money?<br
/> Wouldnt their paychecks be better spent on the homeless children of LA they are trying so desperately to save?<br
/> The only reason I doubt they are volunteers is because they are only out there during the week, when most of LA is at work.</p> <img
