Kevin Rose Is Really Into Christmas

Kevin Rose really digs Christmas. OMG c wut I did thar??? Yeah ok. Let’s pretend that didn’t happen.

Anyway, ole Kevbos didn’t sound too excited about holiday stuff last week. He couldn’t wait to get done with parties and run to mama’s arms:

last day of holiday party commitments, excited for the post party detox and relaxing w/the family 11:42 AM Dec 18th from web

He has somehow gotten into the holiday spirit; yesterday he decided that Christmas music, the source of all evil for retail workers in December, is somehow totes awse.

i’m sorry, christmas music is just good stuff, a welcome break from the norm about 22 hours ago from Tweetie

A few righteous brilliant people must have told pretty boy to stow it with the holiday perkiness. A short while later his royal flounciness produced this ignorant response:

gettin a lot of “bahh humbug” @ replies, for that, bam, santa hat in photoshop: http://twitter.com/kevinrose about 22 hours ago from Tweetie

Kevin, let me give you some hard earned and well tried advice. If you wind up looking like a dumbass in your attempt to outwit, outsnark, or outcute someone, then you are worse off than you were just letting them say what they needed to say about your music choices.

Also, that santa hat offends your Rebbe. Happy lolidays!

Mary Doesn't Want To See You, OK?

Mary Rambin, empress of Fantastica, is not feeling up to your holiday socializing demands.

I am not feeling social these days. Strange. about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck

Look, she can’t be a socialite just because you people want her to be. She’s just a girl – a girl who wants to sit around in a pair of 90 dollar yoga pants, and think about who she is and what her life MEANS.

She can’t think in a crowd of people; and at this time of year it’s so important to be giving and generous. So why don’t you knuckleheads generously give Maremaid some time alone with her dog and her dvr full of Herman’s Head, and her five bottles of Pinot? Maybe she’ll send you a non-denominational holiday greeting card!

Excerpt Of Paul Carr's Life Changing Novel Posted

Paul Carr has been hounded by his millions of fans into posting a portion of his career making novel online.

By popular demand (nagging IMs) – have put up Chapter 1 as well. With proper footnotes, links and open comments. http://bit.ly/89mwYz about 23 hours ago from Seesmic

One paragraph changed my life:

Throughout history, every fame-hungry media dickhead has found his preferred medium for pursuing fame and wealth (in that order). For Tony Parsons – and Hitler, for that matter – it was books. William Randolph Hearst chose newspapers. Don Imus and Howard Stern preferred radio. For Nick Griffin it’s inflammatory leaflets. For Tracy Emin it’s art. Or at least an approximation of it. With the Internet I had found mine – and it was a doozy.

This statement was so profound I actually started my period. My uterus actually bled with the tears of my own unexamined life. What have I done? What medium have I chosen for fame and wealth? My God, what is my life worth until I figure out how to become rich and famous? Can Paul explain how this all works so that we may all chase our dreams? Why yes he can!

Suddenly – almost overnight, it seemed – anyone who could get in front of a computer connected to the web could create a website that could be accessed by anyone else with a similar computer, anywhere else in the world.

No joke – when I finished reading this, I laughed. I cried. I called my mom and told her I loved her. Do yourself a favour – go read this. You will thank me, you will email Paul Carr and thank him, you will write a letter to US Immigration and applaud their excellent judgement. It is “paradigm shifting”, people.

Excuse me: LOL!

Sarah Lacy Demands Objectivity And Accuracy, Dammit

Sarah Lacy, obvious psychotic attention whore, went crackers on some public radio show for making a joke.

Went kinda nuts on an npr show for spreading the rumor that the cia funded facebook. To their credit, they’re correcting it tomorrow. 5 minutes ago from txt

OMFG. Someone not living in NYC or SF – ie, you hayseeds out in flyover country – might BELIEVE this totally vague maybe joke!!! Someone, somewhere in Texas where everyone is ignorant and hates gays will probably think such a thing could be true, because not everyone is as tuned in as Sarah Lacy.

Thank GOD they are correcting it – we could have had a massive hillbilly panic on our hands. You people all owe Sarah a big debt of thanks for preventing a bunch of idiots like yourself from firing off letters about the Freedom of Information Act to the editor of the Debuque Chronicle.

THIS JUST IN: Sarah Lacy now yelling at a taco for claiming to be a fourth meal when it is only her first, because she has time to be pissed about Crap that doesn’t matter.

thatgirlallison Is A Media Elite

thatgirlallison, wannabe famewhore and wearer of flattering tights, is hitting every party she gets a general invite for through Facebook. She not only attended the First Annual Obliterati “God We’re Awesome” Awards, she also made an appearance at the exclusive MediaElities “Blowout” holiday thing and Wednesday’s ASSME party. Such a busy popular girl, our Allison.

Seriously this is why I am not impressed with this party circuit. It’s just some bloggers and a bunch of randoms like Allison who get the mass mailer invites through Facebook. They show up and act like it’s some kind of big geedee deal to be hanging out at what is essentially a glorified tumblr meetup.

You know what? Plug a doorman in there, only invite people who mean anything, and I might give you doss when you claim I’m “jealous”. Until then I’ll be spending my Saturday night in my basement apartment watching “Play Misty For Me”, drinking box wine and staying out of the snow.

Nick Denton Will Not Let You Forget That Gawker Controls The World

Papa Bear Denton, the man responsible for how you blog today (because obviously no one was writing snark on the internet before his little blogpire), would like to remind you that Gawker Media is the number one blog on the entire earth and you better just accept it!

The ten most important sites of the decade. http://adage.com/article?article_id=141014 about 19 hours ago from web

Bow down to Gawker!!! NOW! Remember what happened when that other person talked Crap about them?

Since Allen Salkin wrote Gawker’s obit in Jan 2008, site’s audience has grown fourfold. And he just lost his job at NYT. No tears for him. 5:27 PM Dec 16th from Tweetie

That’s right. Your hatred just makes them stronger like that monster in “A Wrinkle In Time”, or Freddy Krueger.
