A friend pointed this out to me today: from the Amazon.com reviews of the hilarious Amy Sedaris book “I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence”
Offensive and vulgar, January 11, 2007 By S. Hart
I purchased several of these “cookbooks” to give as gifts to my mom, my step-mom and mother-in-law for Christmas, as well as one to keep for myself. I didn’t have time...
What To Do When Anonymous People Are Unfairly Mean...
Reverse pay it forward: think of three people whose work you admire, and write them a “just because” email saying so. It will make you feel better, and hopefully they’ll think of it the next time anonymous people are unfairly mean to them on the internet. (Next week.)
(Yes, I know this sounds like Ann Landers 2.0. But it works!)

Facebook owns all of your content? What content?

youngmanhattanite:
Sasha Frere-Jones and others are deleting their Facebook accounts because of a new item in the TOS. Haunting. Important. Real.
Update: Dun dun dunnnn….draconian! (These people were probably inactive users just looking for an excuse.)
If Facebook thinks they can repackage my claim to have interest in “ninjas, epileptic chihuahuas, and silence” as a book, article,...

Staying true to Curb’s unique brand of Jewish humor, Cam says that he wants to include Jewish people in the project. “Right now while I’m writing my show, it’s a lot of stuff that has to do with Jewish people,” he said. “So I called my lawyer, my man Andrew Bergman, and I’m like listen, would I be allowed to do this because I don’t wanna offend anybody.”

I See Your Latest Gadget, And I Raise You A Heart...
I bought a heart rate monitor watch because it was on sale on Amazon and I wanted to know if doing jumping jacks while watching House, MD was enough exercise. Anyway, after owning it for 24 hours I have not done any jumping jacks, but I have spent about 20 minutes making my heart rate go up and down with just my thoughts. It totally works!

David Cross Knows I Exist.
In an interview with Gothamist today, David Cross acknowledged “David’s Law,” my rule of not speaking to celebrities. I’m going to try very hard to be humble about this. Luckily, I have good friends to keep me grounded so I don’t believe my own hype and turn into an asshole.
