Interview: Man Who Moved to OTR

By Jorge Barnes | Dealer staff writer

Wed, Apr 11, 2007

(Ed. Note: There's an old saying amongst leftist, "independent" Cincinnati newspapers: "It takes a boring man to live in the 'burbs, and it takes a rich, bourgeoise asshole to live in Hyde Park or Mt. Adams, but it takes a smart, courageous man to live in Over The Rhine." In that vein, The Cincinnati Dealer proudly presents an interview with one brave professional who recently made the big move to OTR. Although you will find this piece sandwiched between articles about the out-of-control violence in downtown Cincinnati (at fault: Cincinnati Police) and the lack of key city-living amenties (at fault: Cincinnati Police), ironically, the entire gist of the interview will be how safe and convenient OTR-living really is. But don't feel too guilty or uncool about where you live. Rest assured that this interview is simply one man's rationalization of his own lack of safety. Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, the article):

Cincinnati Dealer: Thanks for conducting this phone interview with us, Will.

Will Hasselo: No problem. I've got a voice-over-internet phone here at my apartment. That's right, voice-over-internet, I get broadband here in OTR. And cable, and running water, and every utility I could ever want or need.

The CCV wants to end the Adult ads in the back of CityBeat. How do YOU feel?

	I am outraged. I responded to one of those ads, and didn't even get a handjob.
	I really don't care about those ads, but can you give me more information about the "Safe Sex Get Paid" ads?
	I think we should ban those ads, as soon as we finish banning porn from the internet.
	The Adult section is too important for the back pages. They should move it to the front, like in the Yellow Pages.
	I think children ought to be protected from words like "body rub" and "tantric massage".
	Does anyone else know if "accupressure" is as sexy as it sounds?
	Sorry, not for me. The best whores don't place ads in a newspaper.
