    WIGGERS? Please. I know that you are all trying to be hip and use "real life" vernacular. This word is as offensive as the "N-Word" in as much as it is a variation on it. I know that you would never say the "N-Word" in your articles in a derogotory way, I would hope that you refrain from wiggers in the future as well. Would you refer to kikes? Spicks? Wops? Probably not in mildly patronizing/demeaning ways.... There are many other ways of talking about this demographic.

    Instead of "While wiggers all across America have been aching for street credibility, Cee-Lo channels suburban boredom." How about : "While white suburban teens all across America have aching for street credibility, Cee-Lo channels their boredom."

    I expect more from you guys! Come on!
