Beef is when Vanity Fair mock GQ’s articles

“I think I started [ACL], on December 26, [2007]. I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing, to be honest. I was in Ohio at my parents’ house for the holidays, bored. It was snowing like crazy.” - From GQ’s ‘An oral history of menswear blogging

“This oral history reminds me of the time I started my Xanga. I think I started it on September 26, 2005. I didn’t really know what I was doing, to be honest. I was in California at my parents’ house for the holidays, bored. It was drizzling like crazy. Anyway, I don’t know if there was ever a source to look at such a wide variety of cute kitten pictures or read emo rants on the Internet before then. There were niche Web sites, but nothing next to the mainstream crowd-sourcing we’re seeing these days. 2005, man, that was a revolutionary time.” - From Vanity Fair’s “An Oral History of the Time We Read GQ’s “Oral History of Menswear Blogging

Whatever your take on this oral history stuff, this mock quote is hilarious.
