Another thing people are taking too literally, according to Glazer: The derisive comments about boroughs other than Manhattan, as in "I don't go to Queens," and "I don't do Brooklyn." In fact, Glazer was born in Queens, grew up on Long Island, and now lives in Brooklyn, as does his sister
-- a writer and comic whose Web series, "Broad City," is in development for the FX network. Especially funny, Glazer says, is unwarranted speculation online that the Glazers aren't even from New York. But he says he doesn't read comments on YouTube: "It's just a pool of negativity." "This is satire," he says. "We intended it to be a satire of what it means to be young and semi-spoiled in New York." The video was shot and edited in about two weeks. "I was worried we were past the expiration date of the meme," Glazer says. He and his sister posted it to their Facebook accounts, and "within two hours it was insane
-- the comments, the sharing," he says. "It was mind-blowing how quickly it took off." What's clear from the video is that its creators love the city, despite its hardships. Love-hate relationship with New York: "I love it here. "I hate it here. "I love it here."
