Is it too weird for Bostonist to report the doings of other -ists? Perhaps, but we noticed something unsettling about SFist and Seattlest today, and thought we'd share: SFist yesterday ran a lengthy news story about a developing case of sex slavery in Berkeley involving a wealthy SF real estate tycoon. The previous day, Seattlest ran a story about how bad the Mariners are (Bostonist likes that sort of story). But here's what's strange: Sfist's picture of the sex-slaver and the picture accompanying Seattlest's baseball story, purportedly depicting Mariners reliever Julio Mateo, ARE CLEARLY PICTURES OF THE SAME PERSON. Stranger still, the authors of the two stories, SFist editor Jackson West and Seattlest sports nerd Seth Kolloen, ARE FRIENDS FROM COLLEGE! (That's true - we went to school with them.) Bostonist doesn't know what to make of all this, but we are definitely suspicious.
