Woke up Friday morning to find an IM from an annoyed friend who found me in her daily news feed. You see, my friend Jenny 8 (the one who so graciously invited me to join her on the Colbert Report) had written an entry for the Huffington Post about how to "prepare for Colbert." (I just trademarked that rhyme, so don't even think about lifting it.)In it, she cites an email exchange with an over-enthusiastic Colbert fan (me) suggesting some lines to use and hypothetical responses to expect:
After telling Colbert that Chinese food is more American than apple pie given how much we eat apple pie versus Chinese food... Colbert : "I eat apple pie every morning - with a jack and coke - and a bald eagle egg omlette." Jenny: Well, there are exceptions - and you are clearly an exceptional American - for most would say Chinese food.Anyway, Gawker found this amusing, wrote a piece on it, and thus my name "Lee friend Alexis" polluted my pal's newsfeed.And later in the day, Kotaku kindly plugged breadpig. Careful Denton, the readers of the vast Gawker empire are going to start revolting if you keep pushing such mediocre content...Although, the quote of the day came in the comments section from a sage named fawrh:
the homeless guy = a good front man and a great insperation to us all...the kids that made this video = should be sterilized...On second thought, keep writing about breadpig, I hear there's a VH1 Behind the Music special on the way.
