Following last week's WCP story on Late Night Shots, I got an invite from a fellow CP staffer. Accepting it may have been a mistake. Now, of course, I can't help but check the site once a day or so. I go in expecting to be shocked and am rarely disappointed. I'm not going to caricature LNS – it's not as though you sign in and there are dozens of threads with names like "WHY I HATE POOR PEOPLE." You do have to dig a little. But not much, and pretty quickly you find things like this:

I have been on 3 dates with a guy, he’s kind of cute and sweet. We have only slept together once so it’s not that serious, but he did something to really turn me off on saturday night. He told me he wanted to take me out to dinner, and told me we were going to Bistro du Coin. This was fine, but the entire night he was pronouncing it like “coin” as opposed to “kwa.” I was very embarrassed and I feel like it’s such a dumb mistake, particularly when we ran into one of my friends and he told her we were going to Bistro du COIN. Oh my gosh, it was awful. Does this mean he is trashy or should I just let it slide?

“Late Night Shots is herding the next generation of assholes through Georgetown bars. And you're not invited.” 

This is the clever sub-head for the Washington City Paper’s recent takedown of DC’s primarily-conservative drinking/mating site, Late Night Shots. According to WCP, Late Night Shots is a social networking site that has created an insular community of DC’s elite trust fund babies who log on several times a day to dish about last night’s sloppy hookups, rank which DC bars are party-worthy, and rate each other’s pics and tag them with snarky comments like “Cute? She looks like a dressed corpse."
