Get Yours

Today I read a NYT article about a young man who has created a CBS show starring William Shatner and is publishing a book set to debut at No. 8 on the NYT bestseller list, based on his highly popular twitter feed (which I am a follower of) entitled "Shit My Dad Says".

The third (that I know of) in a string of 'humble blog direct to blow up like the world trade' phenomenon, such as "Stuff White People Like" and "Texts From Last Night", this is an awesome and fascinating trend to behold. I think it's great that these sites, which are essentially aggregating contemporary behaviors and at once documenting and defining social trends are being used for Hollywood fodder, bbecause lawd knows this town could use some new ideas. I do hope that these shows staff talented writers that can truly convey the voice that made these sites popular in the first place, and not water them down to the same sitcom drivel that we've been force fed for years. In any event, I'm happy that these creative entrepreneurs are getting theirs, and I do hope that other voices besides young white males can get in on the action as well.
