These are lovely sales.
However, since they are a rip-off of this week’s Time Out New York magazine, they are also plagiarism. As a fellow Brooklyn neighbor of yours and a writer for Time Out, I’d like to request that you credit us next time you decide to copy an article. Thanks!
They are credited, try looking at the whole post;)
Hyperlink and all, tiger!
Yeah MO you went OD!
