O.K. – Check out this Onion article – Man’s Facebook Status Given Book Deal
Now check out this article on WSJ – S—mydadsays Lands TV Deal
Can someone say “Irony?” Little did the Onion know, they were reporting a “Close to news” story. And it happened in the same week.
I heard about this Twitter account a few weeks ago. An old codger saying things that just make you laugh. Here are a couple Twitters:
“You look just like Stephen Hawking…Relax, I meant like a non-paralyzed version of him. Feel better?… Fine. Forget I said it.”
“Son, no one gives a s— about all the things your cell phone does. You didn’t invent it, you just bought it. Anybody can do that.”
“The baby will talk when he talks, relax. It ain’t like he knows the cure for cancer and he just ain’t spitting it out.”
“Just pay the parking ticket. Don’t be so outraged. You’re not a freedom fighter in the civil rights movement. You double parked.”
Of course, the Twitter profile is run by Justin, a 29 year old who lives with his 79 year old dad. The Twitter profile is full of profanities, so you might want to not show the kids. But you can get a chuckle out of it.Then check out the CBS schedule, because that is who gave Justin the sitcom.
Oh yeah, there is also talk of the Twitter having a book deal, too.
