Dynamite. Plunger. Rubble.
More "edgy" minimalistic three-word advertising via Williamsburg's newest eyesore condo with the "edgy" logo. Hey thanks for so blithely organizing my real estate thought process, asshats. (scanned from the back of today's AM New York) related: The TriBeCa Summit's speech impediment advertising.

What's so bad about it? It's simple. It's what you do when you buy your first place, as I imagine will be the case for all of the people who will inevitably snap up those units. (The water-facing ones, at least.)
Fuck you, you clueless real estate hack. Don't ever comment on this pristinely perfect ad blog ever ever ever again.

It's adorable to see the snears of minimum wage elitist yipping bitterly at the productive members of society. Just think, when you look back from your deathbed you can think of all the lives you improved by making sure the fonts all matched. It warms the cockles of my heart...

nyc architect: whereas, you can look back and remember when you commented on my blog.

What's a snear?
I'd expect better spelling skills from someone claiming to be one of our betters.
'...should've gone with Verdana...damn, damn, damn...'
Some variations:
Buy-Live-Move for a cemetary
Live-Buy-Move for a suburban development
Buy-Live-Move for a future foreclosure
That wasn't very clever, anonymous. You're banned from this discussion.
And silly rabbits, foreclosures aren't for yuppies! That's for the current residents of East Williamsburg who got suckered into a low rate, short-term refi.
But perhaps they'll qualify for the affordable housing section?
Hmmm...
This ad sucks because it is pretentious and edgy-wannabee. It says nothing. They would've been better off with a huge logo.

Gee I just need a place to live since my current hovel is being paved over. I wish someone is a concise, overly simplistic way would tell me how to get a new place.

Sure beats all the poetic overblown drivel that you see in other ads. I think the problem here is that many of you don't really get or understand the meaning of the ad. I can shed some light on it if anyone needs help. It's very complicated.
Iagos, here's the way:
Stop buying clothes at the 'young adult' section of the Salvation Army

Copyranter,
After further review of your post, "Dynamite. Plunger. Rubble." we feel we have no choice but to take away some of the points we were originally giving you for the cleverness of your title.
You see, the Edge's "edgy" minimalistic three-word advertisement works because it is a call-to-action, inspiring the reader to consider how easy it is to buy, move and live in the best new development coming to one of the greatest neighborhoods in the world.
You see, it is three *verbs* in use, whereas yours are three nouns -- falling flat in its attempt at parody and leaving most of your commenters surly and confused.
We take copy very seriously here at The Edge, and although we hate to rant about yours, we feel providing you this constructive criticism is ultimately a good thing in helping you write a better blog.
Glad we could be of help. Our sales office will be open shortly. We have a unit just for you.
T.E.
It's actually "your," not you're
Thanks :) Tell me how many errors can you catch a day? Do you correct spelling on Craigslist as well? I guess that literature degree really worked out. Do you do your editing between shifts or does Starbucks let you have internet access during your breaks?
I be a arkuteck but I cantz spell.
Must be tough to comment and still schlep stuff up from the mail room all day.
Jeezuz. nyc architect and heartglasswhatever sound mighty, uh, clever. For tools.
The ad sucks because it's lazy, and not clever. Which could never be said of nyc a and heartg.

Dunno HeartsGlassTowers, hafta say I think copyranter was using dynamite as a verb, resulting in
