Will Leitch Hates You, Reader

by Choire posted @3:14 PM

BALLSUh oh! Another author goes postal in the quick-publish Internet age! It is famed sports-blog shouter Will Leitch, who shares his outraged private letter with the world to bring maximum shame: "My first book was reviewed by rangersfan4324. So who are you, tomtom24? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? Your Twitter page says you are from 'Tehran.' SO WHY AREN'T YOU SPEAKING IN FARSI?" Oh Will Leitch, are you a victim of the performance-enhancing drugs as well as the Age of Venti Venting?

    Note the date at the top, which is a clue that the piece is meant to be, you know, a bit of fun. At Alice Hoffman's expense.

    Such status anxiety! Geeez.

    tomtom24 has been driven into hiding until his 25th birthday party at Heritage Park.

    Maybe a little deadspin commenter experience would lend the necessary context to understand Leitch's sense of humor. (insert reference to emo bangs and black t-shirts here). I just read his post and thought it was hilarious (of the intentional kind).

    /dick joke

    Will Leitch is in the rags!! I've been waiting for this moment forever!

    I think Choire Sicha is probably in on this (very funny) joke.

    It's all fun and games until a demented tomtom24 fan carves a backwards "t" into Will's perfectly round face!
