It’s a little weird to complain that CIA is too homogenous! I mean… you don’t have to love the Pakistani, Israeli, Jewish, and Mexican joints that line the place, this isn’t your average strip mall.

Colin Quinn is a comedian. The fact that you don’t know this goes hand in hand with the comments here that show absolutely no sense of humor.

I think you are all missing the point of his comment. He’s not saying that the one Domino’s has ruined our particular neighborhood, or robbed it of it’s character.

He’s making a broader statement which is true, and that is that Brooklyn which is known the world over for it’s neighborhood pizza joints has changed so much and has been corporatized to the point where a national corporate pizza chain can be regular commercial competition for a regular Brooklyn Pizzeria. The McDonald’s comparison is not valid, as Paris is not known the world over for it’s hamburgers.

It’s a comment on how Brooklyn has changed and how with all we’ve gained with gentrification we’ve lost a lot of our own identity.

years ago it would have been unthinkable that a national soulless pizza chain would set up shop, operate and thrive in any Brooklyn neighborhood, much less one that boosts several nearby long standing pizza places.

I for one, got that, and I didn’t take his comment literally. I don’t think it’s specifically the Domino’s on CIA that has him upset. He’s using that one as an example.

Lighten up you guys.

Melvin, I think the “Who’s Colin Quinn” comment was a sarcastic reference to Quinn’s total cultural irrelevance. I would expect an expert on humor such as yourself to know that. Quinn’s a painfully untalented douche whose continued employment is a mystery to anyone who values comedy. With the possible exception of Charles Rocket he was the most inept Weekend Update host in the history of SNL. His current one-man show is just a re-hash of that terrible show Robert Wuhl used to do for HBO. He had to put Jerry Seinfeld’s name on the marquee to get anybody to come to this wake–and I guarantee you putting his name on the marquee was the sum total of Jerrry’s creative contribution.

So what do you really think?

That Domino’s is disgusting. Almost everytime I drive by, I see huge rats running right in front of it and in and out of the stalled construction site next door.

What is the deal with that building? It has been stalled but they are able to operate a food joing there. STRANGE
