How fun is this?
It's like everyone in the world is singing and dancing to the same music today, and we all have stuff to talk about. It's like we've all been given a temporary free pass to live like we were gay men in a Chelsea dance bar.
I think the only person happier than me about all this Michael Jackson hoopla is the Governor of South Carolina. There has been a noticable drop in media coverage of that guy.

A New Day, A New Challenge
Dear All,
This morning Jordie (the new Project Associate who works with Sophie) told us that the whole Brüno and Eminem thing may be a hoax. Our Research team is hard at work getting to the bottom (no pun intended) of this right now. If, in fact, Jordie turns out to be right, we will convene a second Revisioning The Blog Summit Retreat in the conference room at 2 pm today. Staff, be prepared to pull another all-nighter.

Responding to Yesterday's Commenter
Dear Anonymous,
We were so happy to receive your comment: "THERE IS NO INFO OR VIDEO ABOUT BRUNO OR EMINEM ON YOUR SITE."
First of all, THANK YOU Anonymous. Your thoughtful comment is greatly appreciated by everyone at BvE:TB. We know how much time and thought you put into your all-caps post, and we couldn't be happier to have you as a customer. And, in the absence of a Neilson-type ratings system for blogs, we hope that advertisers will see your comment as a measure of the trend we are seeing that new readers are tuning in because of our format change. It is a significant signal to us that our content is resonating with blog readers everywhere.
The staff here at BvE:TB have been sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what the public reaction would be since our launch on Monday, and it was a great relief to see your post on Wednesday. As our Assistant Director of Interaction Design said, "I think Anonymous was able to navigate our site very well. Our User Experience team should feel pretty good about themselves today." And our Sales Manager added, "I'd like to piggyback on Chandra's remark and just add that it would be interesting to get some demographic and psychographic information about Anonymous. Maybe we could write a Post today responding to Anonymous and try to get a dialogue going with her or him. Do we know if Anonymous is male or female?" "I feel like he's a dude," replied Jordie, our Project Associate on the Content team. Then Sophie, our Information Architect followed with, "I will draft something for a new post. We can call it: Responding to Anonymous."
Well, Anonymous, as you can probably figure out, we are taking your feedback quite seriously. Please continue to have meaningful interactions with our blog and stay with us on this groundbreaking adventure in New Media.
Sincerely,
Everyone at BvE:TB

Bruno v. Eminem
Dear faithful blog readers,
Due to disappointing advertising revenues over the past twelve quarters, I am very excited to announce a new direction for this blog. From this day forward, this blog will be entirely dedicated to the feud between Brüno and Eminem. After numerous intense discussions in a series of meetings of our board of directors, it has been concluded that this move is exactly what the market wants at this time, and we expect to see significant growth in shareholder value over the next six to seven years.
This is not a move that will change things in a day or a week or a few years, but we are confident that this is the right direction to pursue in this complicated time in the blog industry. And, we at Brüno v. Eminem: The Blog (BvE:TB) know that this rebuilding phase won't be easy, but over the long run, dedicated employees that stay with the company will eventually return to salaried compensation in exchange for their work. Until that time, BvE:TB will continue to write bi-weekly IOU's to all employees (the change from semi-monthly will go into effect after the July 4th weekend). Jeff and Jeremy are also talking about issuing retention bonuses using equity in the company. More about that soon. And as was stated at the staff meeting, we will continue to provide printer paper, memo paper, as well as toilet paper and paper towels in the bathroom so long as our paper products supplier continues it's current forward-thinking payment policies.
Best to all,
The BvE:TB Management
(formerly The SAHD Management)

Dancing with the Stars
I've learned two things from watching Dancing with the Stars:
1. That watching a television show can actually make you dumber in one sitting.
2. Mel B. turns out not to be the guy from the sitcom "Alice."

Paris Hilton Interview From Jail
SAHD: Paris, thank you for agreeing to see me during your visiting hour today.
PH: It's my pleasure. You have a beautiful baby.
SAHD: Thanks, she's a handful. Now, Paris, in retrospect, do you regret drinking and driving?
PH: I love Cosmohitos.
SAHD: So, how are you doing in here?
PH: Not so great. I'm really not used to staying in less than 5 star accommodations. I remember when I was filming "The Simple Life," Nicole and I had to stay in some crappy places, but at least we were able to bring a lot more of the comforts of good living to those locations than they allow here.
SAHD: What kinds of comforts do you miss most?
PH: The biggest adjustment has been not getting my daily Brazilian wax and seal-oil massage. And, they don't have bottle service here.
SAHD: I've never understood that bottle service thing. Doesn't that encourage you to drink a lot more than you otherwise would?
PH: Hmmm, I never thought about that. But its a lot better than having to constantly call a waitress for a new drink each time one spills.
SAHD: Do you spill a lot of drinks?
PH: I don't know. What do you consider a lot?
SAHD: Let's put it this way - how much money do you think you spend on spilled drinks on an average night out?
PH: I really couldn't tell you.
SAHD: Take a guess.
PH: This is fun. What will you give me if I guess right?
SAHD: How about a kiss?
PH: I knew you were going to say that. Tongue or no tongue?
SAHD: Paris, I'm married, so I'd better say no tongue.
PH: Come on, I'm sure your wife won't mind. Why don't you text her and ask?
SAHD: You know what, you're probably right. So let's say, if you guess within a hundred dollars, I'll give you a kiss with tongue.
PH: Okay, cool. So, I have to guess. This is hard..... All right - I'm going to guess eight hundred dollars. No, wait: nine hundred.
SAHD: Final answer?
PH: Yes, nine hundred.
SAHD: Exactly right!!!
PH: Seriously? I got it exactly right?
SAHD: Yup. Right on the money.
PH: That's so hot.
SAHD: That is hot.
PH: Okay then stud, You gotta pay up.
SAHD: Okay, first let me get a guard to hold the baby.
PH: Guard, Guard.
G: Yes Miss Hilton?
PH: I'd like you to hold a baby for my guest.
G: Certainly Miss Hilton.
PH: All right, close your eyes.
SAHD: Is it okay if I keep them open?
PH: No way - I'm not wearing any make-up.
SAHD: All right. You ready?
PH And SAHD: (kissing noises)
PH: Wow, you're a good kisser.
SAHD: I'd be even better if it weren't for this glass wall.
PH: I think the glass wall between us is hot.
PH And SAHD: (more kissing noises; longer duration)
PH: Let's go back to my room.
SAHD: I have a feeling that's not allowed.
PH: At least text her and ask.
SAHD: No, I mean that the prison probably won't allow us to go to your room.
PH: See, this is just what I mean about staying in a less than 5 star accomodation.
SAHD: Paris, I'm going to have to leave. I didn't bring another bottle of formula and I'm gonna have to feed this kid soon.
PH: Let's ask the guard if he can bring you some.
SAHD: Thanks, but I have a feeling that's not going to work out. I'd better get going. It was very nice meeting with you though. Thank you very much for the interview.
PH: Sure. Let's get together sometime very soon. I'll have my assistant schedule something with you.
SAHD: Sounds great. Good luck getting through the rest of your time here.
PH: You know, you're not supposed to say it that way. I know because my family is in the business. You're supposed to say, "I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay with us."
SAHD: Okay. Well, good-bye.
PH: Ciao.
PH: It's my pleasure. You have a beautiful baby.

Open letter to Angelina Jolie
To whom it may concern (only Angelina Jolie),
Now that you are going to be a stay-at-home parent, I was thinking that we should really hang out. I'm here everyday stay-at-home-parenting, and although I have only one kid to contend with, and you will have four, if we were to get together for a few play dates, it would be like one adult for every 2.5 kids, which is not so bad. I figure I can take care of Maeve (you'll like her, she's Asian) and Pax, and you can take care of Shiloh and Zahara, and we'll let Maddox watch TV, or we can drop him off at Chuck-E-Cheese (they have a room full of plastic balls that will keep him entertained for hours). It would be way too hard for the two of us to take care of all five kids, so without Maddox, we'll be fine. These are the kinds of tips I can share with you as I've been doing this a little longer than you.
Are you still breast-feeding Shiloh? If you are, that's cool, because I'm immuned to seeing that sort of thing - I saw it alot with Maeve and Maeve's mother. I'm actually pretty good at helping out during the feedings.
Also, I thought I'd mention that there are a few Vietnamese restaurants in the area that deliver in case Pax doesn't like sandwiches. By the way, you might think about changing that one's name. I have a feeling that in a few years, some of the other kids at school would have a field day with the nick-names (Tam-pax and Chicken-pax, just to name a few). We may want to rethink the Jolie as well. But we'll have plenty of time to talk about all of that later.
So, just post a comment on this page (I'll start reading the comments) and we can arrange it. Also please include a phone number in the comment, so we can "talk privately" about the kids, snack foods, diaper preferences, etc.

Howard K. Stern: "I really didn't kill Anna Nicole" Interview - March 5, 2007
SAHD: Hello Howard. Thank you for coming here and meeting with me.
Howard K: Its my pleasure. You have a lovely apartment. Would it be okay if I used your bathroom?
SAHD: Of course. Just go straight through the bedroom. You can't miss it.
Howard K: Thanks. I'll be right back.
(20 minutes later)
SAHD: Before we get started, can I offer you something to drink? Some water? juice? tea?
Howard K: No thanks; I'm fine. But can I offer you something: a valium, vicodin, perhaps a perkasete?
SAHD: Okay, maybe a perkasete.
Howard K: Here, take two.
SAHD: Thank you. So, how have you been doing since the death of Anna Nicole?
Howard K: Very busy. I can't tell you how many meetings with lawyers, business deals and interviews I've done in the past few weeks. Its been awful. A lot of hard work.
SAHD: A lot of people believe that you are a gold digger, just in this for the money, and that you aren't even Danielynn's real father.
Howard K: That is ridiculous. I don't care at all about the money. I just want what's best for my little Dannielynn. I just want to be able to take care of that beautiful baby.
SAHD: I suppose you are going to "take care" of Dannielynn the same way you "took care" of Anna Nicole and her son Daniel?
Howard K: I resent that! I took the best possible care of Daniel and Anna Nicole! I watched over them the way a lioness watches over her cubs. Its not my fault that they both took far too many prescription pills every single day and then died.
SAHD: You killed them! You killed them!! You are sinister! You are vermin!
Howard K: Calm down. I love you. Have some valium. and some vicodin. and a little single malt scotch.
SAHD: Thanks. I feel a lot better.
Howard K: Look, as one stay-at-home-Dad to another, I'd like to assure you that all I care about is the proper care and nuture of my little girl. I really didn't kill Anna Nicole and I also didn't kill Daniel. Its just a bad coincidence that the people around me tend to die for mysterious reasons.
SAHD: Great, well then, I think I've heard enough of your lies, lets wrap this up. Again I thank you for coming here and doing this. And here is your 200 dollars.
Howard K: What is that?
SAHD: Its your 200 dollars - your fee for the interview.
Howard K: My fee is two hundred thousand dollars.
SAHD: When I asked you on the phone how much you get for an interview, you said, "two hundred."
Howard K: Yeah, two hundred THOUSAND. TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS!
SAHD: BUT YOU SAID "TWO HUNDRED!"
Howard K: I assumed you understood that I meant two hundred thousand. What kind of idiot are you that you would think Howard K. Stern would do an interview for two-fucking-hundred lousy dollars?
SAHD: Well, I was surprised at how reasonable it was, but that is what you said. I said, "What do you get for an interview?" and you said,"two hundred." That's exactly what you said.
Howard K: Jesus Christ! Look, everyone in the industry knows that when I say an interview costs 200, that I'm asking for two hundred-thousand dollars.
SAHD: Well I'm sorry, but 200 is all I have. And that is what you're going to get.
Howard K: Listen dude, I'm gonna fucking sue your ass. I'm suing you for everything you have. I'm suing you, your baby, your employers, Blogger, Blogspot, and Google. Believe me, you haven't heard the last of this.
SAHD: You want the $200 or not?
Howard K: Just give it to me.
Howard K: Its my pleasure. You have a lovely apartment. Would it be okay if I used your bathroom?
SAHD: Of course. Just go straight through the bedroom. You can't miss it.
Howard K: Thanks. I'll be right back.

Sex and the Stay-at-home-Dad
Being a stay at home Dad is not like it is in the movies. I really thought it was going to be all wild parties, spa treatments, drinking absinthe and having sex with celebrities. It turns out this is a myth, possibly put out there to trick innocent people into becoming primary care givers to small children. These cretins don't tell you about a certain hidden reality: something that I call "child care." You'd be surprised how much time I have to spend doing "child care." In fact, since I've become a stay-at-home dad, I haven't had time for even one of my famous all-night extasy binges with Linsey Lohan and Dick Cavett. and that sucks.
But enough about my problems. I'm sure you're not interested in my life. So, back to Anna Nicole Smith, Jesus and Britney. (I haven't had anything to say about Britney yet, but I've got her in the back of my mind.)

Jesus's DNA
While I am not a geneticist per se, I do remember some of what my 8th grade Science teacher taught us about genetics (in the "Special Progress" class at Andries Hudde J.H.S. on the corner of Nostrand Avenue and Avenue K in Brooklyn), and thus I feel fairly qualified to explain to all (both) of you what the implications would be if scientists are allowed to go in that box and get a sample of Jesus's DNA.
In my scientific opinion, one interesting thing to look at would be the make-up of Jesus's Y chromosome. I figure Jesus got his X chromosome from Mary, but his Y chromosome is interesting. The way I see it, this special Y chromosome belonged to God. It's from God's sperm.
Basically, half of all Jesus's traits came from Mary's egg and the other half came from God's love juice. Hence, if scientists can look in the Mary tomb and get her DNA traits and compare them to Jesus's DNA, then they can figure out the half of Jesus's traits that he got from God. They will probably also supoena God to try to get a DNA sample from him. Yet even if God ignores the supoena, they can still use the fancy new DNA science to find out all about God's traits. Some of the things they will be able to find out about God are: What was God's blood type? eye color? Was he black? Was he an Arab? Did he have Huntington disease? Was God Jewish?
They can do that you know. They are able to use DNA to find out if someone was Jewish. I remember reading about that recently - I think with Thomas Jefferson. I'll bet you the Jefferson story will disappear pretty quick if it turns out that God's DNA is jewish. I mean, holy Moses, that would be big news. For one thing, that would mean that God doesn't pay retail. (Its okay; I'm jewish.) It would also mean that God celebrates Hannuka (Sp?), not Christmas. I mean, I suppose he probably celebrates Christmas, but he just calls it "my son's birthday." It would also finally solve the mystery about why they let Howie Mandel host "Deal or No Deal."
