Over Privilege
I'm pissed. On Tuesday night, one of Hollywood's top clubs had too many fat chicks and at least one couch that belonged on the porch of a frat house. Yes, I know there are people out there with real problems. Cry me a Red Bull and vodka. I'm not talking about the underprivileged, I'm talking about Privilege.
I didn't want to roll deep, roll dubs, or roll bows. I just wanted to roll out. Privilege (the club formerly known as Shelter, still known as a building disguised as a tent to circumvent smoking laws) was the wrong destination. Don't misunderstand. I know Hollywood -- especially Sunset Strip. You gotta' know somebody at the door, you gotta' drop cash, yadda, yadda, yadda. But this was ridiculous.
Even with absolutely zero line at the door, we (two dudes, no ladies) expected to wait -- but not for almost an hour. We expected to pay cover -- but not $20 when the club was only open for another 60 minutes (plus another $15 for park-it-yourself). Adding insult to injury, the place looked nowhere near capacity. I don't know if they wanted a line out front to look "cool," but there was no excuse when we could have been dropping mad cash at the bar (to put it in perspective, a watered down Diet Coke for designated drivers only costs $4 -- roughly a 39,900% profit margin).
Mark Cuban and some NBA players were there, which might explain the plethora of Amazonian women. They're fun to look at, but what are you going to do with a six foot chick? There's no way you can toss her around for some good ol' fashion circus sex when she's as tall as the fucking bouncer. Mix in the aforementioned fatties and there was so much extra meat it was like a Bristol Farms for cannibals.
Oh, there were one redeeming qualities about the club -- a solid DJ.

You know what I really hate is when I go to a club and the only guys there are sexist pigs who treat women like pieces of meat.

Is this review for real?

LAist needs to do itself a favor and make sure this kind of post never happens again. I have a feeling I'm in the majority when I say I don't care to hear about some issues with a crappy club by a guy with a severe case of frat guy mentality. You've definitely hit upon one of the very worst parts of LA with this post. Thanks.

Bitch - maybe you were left outside for an hour because somewhere on The Internets is someone writing a blog post about how Privilege is on the downward spiral because some dribbling dork and his male companion were let in.
Oh, and Blake - I loved you on Idol. You totally shoulda won - too bad that "fat chick" had to go and beat you out for the title.
Nice work, LAist.
You should really be proud of yourself for this guy.

I find it hard to believe that this post is actually real. Maybe it's a set up piece creating buzz for next season's new TV show featuring the CroMagnon Geico cavemen?

this is a joke right?
it has to be because there's seriously no way LAist would let some degenerate fratboy write one of the most idiotic articles i've pretty much, ever read. fat girls? too bad the fat girls were already inside while this asshole had to wait outside. oh man.
i hope LAist doesn't let something like this ever pass for journalism again. jesus.

The only part of this article I enjoyed was finding out that the author wasted $35 for parking and cover charge.

The only over privilege here is this idiot being allowed anywhere near a keyboard.
Hey moron - you don't like what you saw at the club - take your stupid ass somewhere else. Or go open your own club and you can impose your own rules. Then I'll sit there and laugh when your club goes belly up. No pun intended.

Everyone's jumping on this guy but he speaks the truth: most hollywood strip clubs are pieces of shit. Even if you do go big, do bottle service, and drop $2k on the evening, you're still sitting in many cases in a club that would be laughed out of London or NYC. LA clubs often have terrible music, bad atmosphere, and a lame crowd.

Really, who said fat chicks should be allowed out in public? Thank God you were there to up the quality of the clientele.

2 words: Fukken' HILARIOUS!

The fat chicks got in without a hitch, our commentator and his friend did not.
Fair trade. And a lesson in there somewhere.

I don't see what the big deal is about this. It's seriously a chore going to clubs in L.A. these days. It's also true that if there are unattractive people in there, it makes it pleasant. What's the big deal? Let's not act self-righteous and admit that certain people look better than others.
