Tell Long Island Press to FIRE Brad "Sk8r Hater" Pareso for bashing skaters in his column!
When I sit down at my computer each day, I consult The Bing for news in the skateboarding world. Today started out the same way...until...*insert loud introductory music here*
...I came eyes-to-screen with the world's most inarticulate, narrow-minded, linguistically inept, most deserving of an old-fashioned beat down, loser of an excuse for a man: Brad Pareso.
How could I NOT click on a link that read: "If You Like To Skateboard, I Hope You Never Have Children"? (That is the name of Pareso's most recent "article" in his column "Nothin But Net" - garbage!)
As a longtime fan of skateboarding (longer than most of you reading this have been alive!), a mother of two skaters, the girlfriend of a professional skater, and friend to hundreds of skaters - young and old, pro or not, good, bad, and otherwise - I was not only completely offended by his article, I was horrified that it made it to print! (Or even on the 'Net!)
Shame on Long Island Press for allowing such hateful (and poorly written) smut to be associated with it's publication. We need to take a stand on this!
Not only was it in poor taste to post a link to a YouTube video of a skater getting injured (which, by the way, I did NOT watch!), I seriously doubt that Tony Hawk appreciates this cretin using his name to make a feeble attempt at demonstrating some iota of knowledge about the skateboarding community (FAIL!), and I could not get past the absolute slaughter of the English language as demonstrated by his poor syntax and atrocious writing style. Journalist? Hardly!
Please send a message to Long Island Press to FIRE Brad Pareso, discontinue his column IMMEDIATELY, and publish an official apology to the MILLIONS of skaters, parents of skaters, and the countless others in support of the entire (and VASTLY LARGE) skateboarding community!
DO NOT CLICK on this link to the dimwit's lame ramblings; I only include to appropriately cover my tail by properly citing the source!: http://www.longislandpress.com/2009/11/09/if-you-like-to-skateboard...
Instead, click on the attached file below that has a copy of the contents of the link above.
You can also look him up on Facebook and Twitter to let him know what you think about his views on you and your friends.
But DO NOT FORGET to contact Long Island Press (http://www.longislandpress.com/contact/) to express your desire to have them FIRE BRAD PARESO!!
Thank you!

This guy obviously knows nothing about skateboarding. Apparently those two kids down the street from him represent our entire community hahaha what a lame! I've already contacted long island press so I we'll see what happens. Thanks for posting :) Much peace!

Thanks for taking action, Anthony. Of course we all know this guy is lame. And while that is a very valid point here, what I find even more pressing is the need to take a stand against idiots like him. I mean what if he made a generalization about a particular race, or religion, or sex? It would be categorically shunned by mainstream outlets. But because he wants to "poke fun" at skateboarders (maybe because the art has regained momentum but he cannot capitalize on it in any way??) nobody wants to dig his or her heels in and demand consequences?
I say we show dear ole Brad just how intensely tight-knit (and tight-fisted) the larger-than-he-anticipated skateboard community/family really is. I want this shmuck's head/ass/both handed to him! He does not deserve to get paid to do a crappy job. If he flipped burgers like he wrote, he would be turning in his golden arches uniform.
(Wow. Glad I got some more of that off my chest!) - Attachments:

That was the worst skater stereotyping since the 5 Hour Energy commercial

Tell Long Island Press to ditch that dork! WHY they would pay a 23-year-old to write a blog about mindless crap is beyond me. What kills is that they keep defending him!! They are calling his "blurb" a satire piece. What? Satire? What's satirical about it? More like "shatire" as in "shat" as in made-up past tense of "shit"!
I hope every kid (skater or otherwise) within a 5-mile radius of his house flips him the bird every day from this one forward! Hope their parents do, too!
This guy needs to be dropped off at Skatopia on a rowdy Saturday. I'd like to see him tell some older-than-9-year-old skaters that they are "tight jeans wearing spoiled" wastes. Then I'd like to film it, write a blog under the post of the footage, and state how I hope every sycophant sm-ogger (smut blogger) gets beaten into submission by the victims of their careless attempts at journalism!
I'm just saying...

In an effort to redirect attention away from viral hits on Long Island Press and direct it back to reprimanding Brad Pareso's shoddy attempt at journalism, I have attached a link to a copy of his "blurb" without actually linking to the "blurb." (However, the link to the "blurb" is there for copyright purposes.)
Click on the .pdf file titled, "If You Like To Skateboard, I Hope You Never Have Children by Brad Pareso" - (and, I truly hope you never DO have any children by Brad).
