Bitchin' Blog Posts
HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS WE MADE IT INTO THE NEW YORK TIMES
by Candy | October 10, 2006 | Tuesday at 7:42 am | 26 CommentsHoly schlamoly. We totally got an oblique mention in the New York Times.
The tone is unbelievably smarmy and condescending, but dude.
This is my brain.
This is my brain BOGGLING THE FUCK OUT.
I’ll have something more intelligent to say about this once my brain stops going “AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
Thanks to the members of the Bitchery who e-mailed us the link.
p.s. For posterity, and for those who have difficulty viewing the page, here’s a PDF of the article.

SBs have truly arrived (as if we didn’t know that already). You now have total iconic status.

What Keziah said… Wait! Crap!! Shit!! That’s probably not smart enough for a blog mentioned in the NY Times. Oh and…I probably shouldn’t have cussed either?
Oh and I also ditto the condescending and smarmy, but it IS the NY Times.

Okay, how come I can’t read the damn thing?! There’s this “Join Now and Be Forever Exalted” crap…but it doesn’t work! Please, someone, please, cut and paste the good stuff and post it here!
Please?

No more condescending than the NYT tends to be—and longer than the bit in the Wash. Post.
Nice going, bitches.

The controversy is also mentioned on the front page of today’s Washington Post business section.

Long-time reader, first-time commenter. I don’t read romance, but thanks to your blog I have new respect for the genre. The comments about those ads were especially amusing because I’m a philosophy student who happily reads Plato as well as “trash” - comics and SF.
Anyway, delurked to congratulate you! Even if the article says the blog title’s “not printable in most newspapers”. You shocked the NYT!

“is a place that pretty much sucks your soul drier than a stale raisin.” Jeri! You were quoted! How cool!
Diana said on 10.10.06 at 05:53 PM
Wow, I was quoted too! the pentagon and Harry Potter. Unreal.

Rock on, Candy & Sarah!
But I suppose it was too much to hope that they’d link to your brilliant and obscene cover reviews if they’re too prissy to mention your website’s name.

Dude. Totally famous.
*hugs*
Stef said on 10.10.06 at 07:28 PM
I feel like I should send flowers. Way to go, SBs!
And Nora, way to kick some ass.
Susan said on 10.10.06 at 07:39 PM
way to go! Smart bitches rule!
DebH said on 10.10.06 at 09:01 PM
The New York Times won’t print the word “bitch?” What a bunch of wussies.
Congrats, Candy and Sarah!

Wowsers!!! That is so coooooolll - even though so many who had something to add still just didn’t “get” it *sigh*
Suisan said on 10.11.06 at 12:44 AM
Congratulations!!
(Bitches can’t go into any edition of the Grey Lady? Who knew?)
Ursula said on 10.11.06 at 03:16 AM
So, your name, like Beetlejuice, must naught be spake aloud, or printed in ‘most newspapers’? Pussies!
However, it is way cool that you were still mentioned! We knew the Bitchery hath arrived many moons ago, however, now John Q. Plato-reading public knows that as well.
Ursula said on 10.11.06 at 03:20 AM
Oh, and by the way, I believe said vaunted Plato was a hard drinking man who liked to wrestle other men, naked. He could probably out man-titty the best of them. So what does that say about all those stuffed shirts reading him on the train?
desertwillow said on 10.11.06 at 03:59 AM
The New York Times!!! No Shit?!
Congratulations..

The New York Times - the paper that printed Jason Blair and Judith Miller - had the nerve to question your judgment?
Sigh. But I still love that haughty, snotty rag. Kudos on your mention.

Guess I’ll never have lunch in *that* town again. Shame, because there’s this awesome Thai place off Dupont Circle…

Be offline a few days trying to get your house remodeled, and miss all the excitement!
Yay bitches, rock on!
(off to read all that has come after…)
