Yeah, anyway, I just came to the realization that... by this point, probably dozens of professional gossip writers stop by here briefly every day, hoping that Kevin lets something slip about Affleck's lovelife.
Which is... kinda creepy... but also sort of neat. Think about it. As we talk about Fletch or Jason's recovery process or... uh... which Transformer is coolest, as our flamers fake the deaths of people who don't exist, as weirdos at the fringes have screwed-up internet-relationships and then assume we care... there's journalists who pop by here and quickly dredge through it, in hopes of digging up some tabloid dirt.
That's pretty strange. They're paid to do this.
Anyway, it's a three-way request of you guys.
1) Post. Tell us a little about yourself, about the paper or other infotainment service you write for, how you got into telling people theories about the relationships of people they and you have never met, that sort of thing. Be the counter-point, defend your profession or whatever.
2) When you do quote Kevin? Don't take it out of context.
3) When this all blows over, after the rescheduled wedding and all that? Stick around and make me famous. My e-mail is linked above... we'll talk, I'll give you all sorts of neat reasons that I should be fabulously and insanely famous.
Thanks.
Mike
