Jerry will get on the internet, discover a newsgroup devoted to him, and use posts from alt.tv.seinfeld in an episode.

Fans theorize that rude New Yorker portrayals in The Muffin Tops episode were inspired by discussions in this newsgroup, and suggest an episode where Jerry discovers his own Usenet fan community.

Anyone who thinks the writers have nothing to do with this newsgroup
aughta listen up good.  Do you think the people on the street who were
rude to George because they thought he was a tourist were there by
accident?  I don't think so!   "Watch where you're going, Hayseed!"
Sounds real friendly?  Not!   Howbout when Elaine asked the stranger
about the muffin top?  "Where did you get that?", "The Muffin Top store."
"The Muffin Top store?", "What did I just say?"   Very rude.

Coincidence?? Or do you suppose they followed the thread (which lasted several weeks in this group)?? Yup. That's what I thought.

I wanna see an episode where Jerry finally uses that damn PC, gets himself on the Internet, discovers that there's a newsgroup devoted to him (I mean, he is a 'minor celebrity' in the show, right?) Plenty of standup comedians have newsgroups these days. Think of the possibilities!! I know some of you in here (who took the 'they don't browse this ng' attitude) would think differently if they used your post!! (Hot damn! I like this idea so much, I'm a gonna post it seperately!)

Well, I guess I would consider it a coincidence because the stereotype of New Yorkers being rude is not exactly a new idea.

I was thinking the same thing as you Dave!

I wonder if they read these postings?

I'm a New Yorker. I grew up there. I'm not rude. Most people in New York aren't. There are just more people there. So of course it's going to have a greater number of rude people, but not a greater percentage.

Have a Nice Day!!:)

When I visited NY, I found the people very friendly. Some were strange, but no one was out and out rude to us. (They DO like their car horns) We got a different reception in East Stroudsburg. Penn. There we had a flat on a Sunday morning and virtually everyone was rude to us, even old ladies we asked for directions. We kept seeing those plates that said "You've got a friend in Pennslyvania." and we kept saying "Where? Where?" Please no flames from Penn. people-I'm not attacking you, I'm just saying-this is what hapened to us. -John
