Deep Research

April 28th, 2008 · 4 Comments

So, in writing an article about internet fads and micro-celebrities, The Guardian decided to illustrate it with an image from Icanhascheezburger.com.

Fair enough.

Its a good one, too. Here.

It was also on the front page yesterday.

Amazing how deep their research is, isn’t it?

    Icanhaz … was trailed in The Times about six months ago. Yawn.

    ican and what white people like have both gained book deals off of wordpress - or so the story goes.

    Stuff White People Like and I Can Has Cheezburger have been topping our Blogs of the Day charts for some time. Now the New York Times reports that both of those blogs have received book deals. “Stuff” apparently got a $300k advance. The books based on their blogs are due out this Fall. Congratulations to both of them!

    Mark: if you read the article you’d see it wasn’t actually about I Can Has.

    Will: Christian jacked his job in to write the Stuff White People Like book, and Cheezburger employs a full-time staff of eight!

    Tim: We take great pride in the depth of research, as always.
