It's linked to your being a contributor to Vanity Fair Huffington Post, Bushwick neighborhood, etc! Any one of your detractors can find it. Wake up, Barrett. You're putting yourself in a terrible position by putting this out there for everyone to see. This stuff never goes away. What are you thinking? I want you to be a responsible grownup who realizes what consequences are. I would have thought you'd have figured that out by now. You are going to ruin your reputation. What else can I do to make you understand this?

Please stop. This was an ad for an apartment. My name's not on it. We got a dozen responses from girls alone. No one else hates me. I don't even know how you found this. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish.

If you want to get cut off even sooner, let your dad know that he's paying rent for you to room with a wife-beater-wearing pornographer. This is not how I raised you. You are really going to ruin your reputation if your online "enemies" find this out. Not something to go around bragging about and putting into print.
 
The other roommate mainly works as a chef in high-end French restaurants, but is also a rather accomplished B-movie screenwriter, actor, and production assistant - he co-wrote and appeared in some terrible comedy/porno called XXXorcist, for instance, along with a bunch of other stuff for Burning Angel plus such other random things as late-night Italian horror television marathon lead-ins - "Bikini Bandits" and that sort of degenerate thing. He's also the author of a book called The Hobo's Guide, which he wrote at the age of 19 (he's 30 now) drawing on his experiences as a homeless teenager and all-around scoundrel, and is currently working on a couple of comedy projects. He's also in the middle of a divorce from this crazy woman he married, which is not to say that she was necessarily at fault just because she was crazy as I think he may have actually drove her crazy himself. The guy's a pornographer, after all. But he's not a douchebag pornographer who wears a bunch of rings and shit; he does ironic porn. He's an ironic pornographer. Very well.
