"Tell me off for a dollar" (Tila Pt. 2)

So after my last post, I thought I’d clarify my thoughts on Tila with an example.

I haven’t been to NY for a while, but there used to be these beggar-dudes who walked around with signs saying, “Tell me off for a dollar.”  Basically, it’s exactly what it sounds like.  You give the beggar a dollar, and you tell him off.  You can complain about how he’s ugly, stupid, or how he mooches off people.  You can curse at him, tell him he’s garbage, etc.  I always thought it was cruel.  I never did it myself, nor did I ever see anyone do it, but my friend Stevie B., who was out more than I was, said that he saw it happen not just once, but many times.

Tila Tequila: Not Really Feeling It

I’m going to have to write this post without a pic.  Because if I included a pic, it would have to be one of the subject, Tila Nguyen, aka Tila Tequila, and I find her repulsive and gross.  As many of you probably have heard by now, Tila Tequila accused her boyfriend, Shawne Merriman, of choking her and keeping her in his home against her will over the weekend.  Merriman says that the charges are false and that he was simply trying to keep her from driving drunk.  Tila says that she wasn’t drinking because she is allergic to alcohol, but the man who owns the nightclub where the two were hanging out said that several employees saw Tequila drinking tequila and vodka.  Which raises two questions–first, there’s a difference in the two stories, and we’ll have to wait to hear what the truth is.  Second, why would you change your name from Tila Nguyen to Tila Tequila if you can’t even drink the stuff?
