Could it be a typo?
Just for fun, I was checking out coops in Brooklyn and found this ad:

If it is a typo, it is the most accurate typo I've ever seen.

Awesome.
If we're talking about the same word: LOVE coming across an anti-semitic comment when browsing Stay Free.

Don't blame Charles. He's self-loathing. Can you believe he likes that Borat episode too?!

I think that Sacha Baron Cohen's stuff is really good satire, making the people that don't question (or enthusiastically embrace) what he does the real target of his jokes.
When his fashion correspondent character laughed with a designer about the designer's ideas (and materials) being taken from the stylings of thrift store miss-match, and that those same poor people wearing the "inspiration" could never afford the new line... I never once thought, "Wow. What a jackass. He hates the poor."
It was probably cause the statement didn't come in the form of a semi-anonymous, text-only, online comment, though.
Context is good.

And what exactly does this blog entry even have to do with Stay Free, other than the Brooklyn aspect?

Hahaha, ignore the other people that take things too seriously. They're going to have a horrible life if they act that way all the time.
I think it's funny.
