And if he’s telling me it’s not happening, I want to take his fucking entitled ass and drive him to west Baltimore and shove him out of the car, at Monroe and Fayette, and say, find your way back, fucker, because you’ve got your head up your ass at the Atlantic.”
– David Simon, creator of The Wire, in response to the Atlantic accusing him (and his show) of being overly cynical.
