Today’s laugh out loud moment is brought to you by John Biggs, the former Gizmodo writer who now does CrunchGear, the gadget blog that is part of Mike Arrington’s expanding TechCrunch empire. Biggs writes about the USA Today story featuring Mike and Om Malik, which talks about how they built their blogs into businesses, and his post just about made me fall off my chair:
“Now I don’t know who these people are or what they think they’re doing, but I think it’s bad to show people that you can make “real money†— how much, Om Malley? $5? HA! — doing this.
There are jobs that Americans should be doing — car repair, HVAC installation, dance instruction — that are going empty while these two jokers sit around all day pretending to work. For shame.
“B-logging,†like stamp collecting and religious observance, should be considered a hobby and nothing more. Let’s not encourage these bozos.”
That is gold, John. If I were Mike and Om, I would print your post, laminate it and hang it on my wall.
