Oy! I want this one to GO AWAY.
But, more lurid videos filmed at HUB- Hooters with nicer furniture-- are surfacing to embarrass the City of Hoboken. Yes, people are sending me links. No, thank you.
But I love this city, so feel compelled to make residents aware why we're becoming a punch line.

Now, GA's no church lady. I love booze. And Hoboken has some of the best bars anywhere. But, can a person say just "no" to live sex acts with their beer or is that too much to ask?
Please, do not tell me "they're consenting adults!" Oh yeah? Let the horny, drunken jocks and bimbos consent somewhere else. No, thank you!
You know, HUB is located in Hoboken's CBD-H zoning district. To my knowledge, there's no "permitted use" or "conditional use" in the CBD-H district that allows ass-eating, digital copulation, simulated sex with inanimate objects, and exhibitionism. Check the ordinance:
 |
| City of Hoboken zoning ordinance, permitted uses for the CBD-H district |
See? Not there.
Thank you, Mayor Bhalla for your statement yesterday:
Radio silence from First Ward Councilman Mike DeFusco.
Listen, GA didnt even get to the "objectification of women" part...
Think about it. HUB invited a guy whose shtick is photographing drunk women in clubs while he gives them "champagne facials" and baits them to undress so he can put stickers on their bare butts and breasts...
So, is anybody really that shocked it came to this?
Last time a bar got into major problems with the city, the owner was forced to sell. Hope that happens here. The downtown bars create so many problems for Hoboken, its citizens, its police force, and even the firefighters a first responders. Shame on Mr. Fini if he actually does own this place. The scene in the first ward in general, and the area around PATH specifically is so out of hand that most people from Hoboken avoid the area in the evenings starting on Thursday night through the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's no wonder DeFusco, who insinuates his presence into everything, hasn't said a word. As I recall, weren't the bar owners and developers his major source of campaign money? Guess he'll be looking for champagne campaign money from these folks as payback for his silence while the first ward suffers.
As someone who knows about porn and pornstars, I'm pleased to announce that our website Horse and Friends will be offering in-depth, blow-by-blow as it were, BarPorn reviews from our own Kuck Fluffner. Kuck's first review is available now, and includes the kind of painstaking attention to detail that can only come from watching the clip over and over and over and over and over and over and.... And of course those clever plays on words that are hilarious to as many as one person here at HQ. Enjoy!

Everyone needs to calm down about my so-called "legal problems" in the FAKE media. So far only my attorney, campaign manager, and national security advisor have plead guilty to felonies. Same as Honest Abe.

Hugh again! Something tells me this topic arouses you. But in fact, the Hoboken HUB of Horrors glorifies the degradation and objectification of women. Don't tell me, "It's's consensual!" Lets take a different example. If the person murdered in a Snuff film wanted to die, was a crime committed? Were the camera crew, producer and actors in the Snuff film enablers/co-conspirators? Answer that one, Hugh.
DeleteDouble-H probably thinks consent means the check cleared.
DeleteTo suggest that there is nothing more to consent than not making an obvious effort to run away is just plain creepy. There are hundreds of catholic rape victims in PA who could probably explain it if they weren't too shattered to try. I haven't found much to agree with Tony on lately, but he gets that this transcends the usual pissing match about Bhalla that everything gets reduced to.
from the transcript:
Delete"I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything."
The bar owners agreed to close the place in exchange for delaying the hearing. Guess they need time to lawyer-up. Here are the charges they're facing:
ReplyDelete1. Allowed patron to leave premises with alcoholic beverage in hand (2 counts);
2. Allowed or Permitted a nuisance involving public safety by allowing or permitting a brawl/disturbance/ or act of violence (4 counts);
3. Allowed or permitted upon licensed premises patrons charged with criminal offenses (2 counts);
4. Quality of Life/Noise Violation (2 counts);
5. Allowed or Permitted a Nuisance, failure to control large crowd on line (1 count);
6. Allowed or Permitted a Lewd activity, multiple participants participating (2 counts);
7. Allowed multiple acts of Lewdness to occur on the premise (1 count)
8. Prohibited Promotion of Alcohol (1 count)
The first ward, thanks to some of DeFusco's bar-owning backers, has been a cesspool for a long time, and this is about as bad as it gets downtown, so the twittering nitwit is posting about parking on social media, taking credit for "laws he's passed" and otherwise taking cheap shots at the mayor.

Deletethe entire public portion of the next council meeting should consist of residents asking 1st ward bar owner-suck up MDF to explain how this is allowed to happen and what he's doing to stop it. be relentless.
DeleteFolks, blaming DeFusco for a sexually explicit episode between a man and a woman seems awfully heteronormative, a bad look for so-called "progressive reformers." First the image with stuff on his face, now this.
ReplyDeleteWell-played, bigots.
Read much? No one is blaming DeFusco for what happened at the bar, and no one gives a shit about his sex life.
DeleteWhat is being said is that he has remained silent, which is not easy for him. Had the mayor not come out early and strong on this, MDF would be all over that. No, just as developers seem to have bought his support on council and planning, the bar owners seem to have bought his silence.
Enough with the gay bashing already.
DeleteThe last time the city cracked down on bars, he was the first one to defend them. He is perfectly fine with out of control bars. Remember this quote? "but I would much prefer to see a more collaborative approach that takes the needs of both residents and hospitality employees into account, rather than the Mayor’s approach"
DeleteI'll be the first to admit that I've had the cultural privileges that go along with being CIS, straight and white. I don't assume that the daily slights and slurs endured by people who don't so-identify are all visible and audible to me. I try and no doubt I fail.
DeleteThat said, I am uncomfortable with the tendency to characterize critiques of Defusco's work products as "homophobic." It feels like an attempt to cut off discussion in light of a universally recognized "more serious" matter.
That also said, it's not the purpose of the world to make me "comfortable."
So what am I missing?
His sexual orientation has nothing to do with the absolute fact that he has done a shit job on the CC and the planning board. And by the way, so has Jen, Tiff, Peter and Ruben and all four of them are straight. And Russo is just laughing his ass off watching everything fall apart biding his time.
DeleteAnon @ 2:08-- what are you smoking? The happy couple performing sex acts on a bar is a symptom of a problem in DeFusco's ward that has been festering below the radar for some time, apparently. Debauchery follows Kirill, who has been invited to perform at HUB on at least 5 seperate occasions since last Spring. FIVE. The guy's act is getting women to disrobe so he can put "Krill was here"stickers on their bare breasts and buttocks, while splashing them in the face with champagne. We all know about it now because the Sept 8 videos have gone viral. But, this Hooters meets Platos Retreat Nudie Act at HUB has been going on for months in the First Ward. DeFusco doesnt know this? Its his responsibility to. Furthermore, has he said a peep about it yet? No one gives a damn what the happy couple's sexuality is, or DeFusco's, or yours, so cut the crap.
DeleteFolks, I don't care if they were on a bar or in the Skyline mailroom, DeFusco is making history and deserves some respect.
Deleteyes, agreed, anon...making history for unsurpassed kowtowing to every developer and bar owner who contributes to his campaign.
Delete@4:14, massive pay-to-play violations and constant grand-standing are the part of the history Defusco is making that is of concern to the public. It will not be discounted or graded on a curve because of his orientation. If you want to point to someone who is getting away with all that because of orientation, have at it. Being straight sure didn't excuse anything for Beth.
DeleteIn addition to the charges the owners will be facing from the ABC board, the health department needs to level its own charges. Is the public now expected to eat and drink off those tables and bar, especially now that we know this has happened there on at least five different occasions? Patrons should get tested for Hep-C and STD's at the owner's expense.
ReplyDeleteI the same spirt as OJ looking for the real killer and MDF looking for the person who stuck the racist flyers on windshields, the management of The Hub has said to the press that they are launching their own investigation as to who the perpetrators of the sleaze show in their bar were.
