mul-grew too big for his britches Dear Jason, First of all, let me say, congratulations on your developing television deals with Comedy Central, or Fox, or whoever it turns out to be (perhaps even the Oxygen Network), not to mention the possible deal with Random house.  If there's any hilarious, self-deprecating blogger out there that truly deserves this kind of success, its definitely me---I mean you, Jason Mulgrew.  Yeah, I can't say that I'm not just a little bit jealous (banging my head against the walls, smashing furniture, sticking pins though little Jason Mulgrew dolls, etc) about your apparent good fortunes. As far as your stipulations for linking to your blog--yeah, I would say they make you seem like kind of a douchebag.  While, I kind of admire the scheme (of demaning publicity chainletters and laudatory posts) from a Joseph Stalin, L. Ron Hubbard, Montogomery Burns point of view) I still think its kind of slap in the face to loyal readers and/or bloggers that you have any respect for (which may very well be none).  And then I have to question the psychology of your form letter to hopeful linkers.  Part 1 essentially says, I'm about to be rich and famous.  Part 2 says, kiss my ass now and I might still be your friend when I'm rich and famous.  (Actually, that's a pretty smart strategy). But, as you know, most blogs out there totally suck.  And I'm sure you're deluged with e-mails from dozens of kiss-ass, mulgrew wanna-bees, who want to drink vodka tonics with you, and would pee in their pants for a link to your illustrious blog.  So, what if all these people follow through with your stipulations?  You're gonna have links to hundreds of suck-ass blogs? Why not just link to blogs that actually kick-ass? (Like mine). Yours Truly, Mark Michaels (thelegendofmarkmichaels.com)   6:41:27 PM    comment []
