 peter jennings was on the daily show with jon stewart now with computer graphics backgrounds and he was talking about emails he had received about a possible jfk expose and the influence of bloggers and blogging has had on the mainstream traditional media.
he said we were legit and we should be taken seriously by the mainstream traditional media.
and jon stewart acted surprised.
immediately following the show, my agent called me up and was really excited. he said this is your chance this could make you really huge you could take advantage of this this could be your big break do you know how many 18-34 year old people watch the daily show now with computer graphics backgrounds?!?!?!
he told me he set up an appointment with an image consultant on thursday afternoon and that we would talk about "maximizing my blog image potential to maximize publicity and profits." i said fuck off. he said you have to or else. i said fine but im not gonna like and ill probably hit him. whatever just be there.
so i showed up and my agent showed up and he showed up fashionably late and first thing he said was hey you dont want to be annonymous if you are gonna make it big, so put some pics up of yourself on your blog and put up pics of girls and say you fucked them even if you didnt. thatll build up your superstar blogger status.
i said no.
he said hmm ok hows this: become a purely political blog and post eight one line blurb link posts a day and slant them in extreme favor of the conservative right but claim that you are nonpartisan.
i said too late dumbass.
how bout a bunch of ads so you can make the sweet sweet kwon?
no fucking way asshole.
but everyones doing it. you aint cool unless you sellout.
i. will. not. sellout. ever.
im sure a blogger of your status could pull six figures easily.
no.
i hear jeff gannon needs space to advertise his new book. that hes going to have someone write for him.
still no.
the pmrc?
hey agent, im about to hit this guy.
dont do that mo, its bad for business.
whatever, he gets one more shot at an idea that doesnt suck. then im really gonna hit him.
ok ok heres an idea, why dont we get a bunch of models wearing swimsuits in the colors of your blog? you like models in swimsuits right?
dramatic pause

i looked at my agent. he nodded. he knew.
