the chron breaks important news: rich people eat at fancy restaurants

one of the chronicle's top stories today is about heroes assholes competing to see who can eat at each of the top 100 bay area restaurants (according to the chron, of course) first.

reportedly, this endeavor costs about $18,000.

this article would be useless and obnoxious even in better economic times, but running it right now is insensitive and stupid.

the chronicle now has a staff of 3 or 4 reporters, right? and this is how they're spending their time. listening to rich people talk about how difficult it is for them to spend their money. it's like a sport, except there is really nothing challenging about it, and also you get fat.
