“My friend is worried she’s going to lose her job.”
“Where does she work?”
“She works at Bank of America doing event planning.”
“Yeah. That sounds about right.”

Parks and Recreation - Negative Review Negating with Aziz: The Daily News
I have read all the reviews for Parks and Recreation. Most have been great (LA Times, NYTimes, Hollywood Report, Boston Globe, etc.) Some reviews have criticized the show, but I’m gonna show them who’s boss. First up, The NY Daily News:
Lesley refers to that foundation hole as “The Pit,” and the phrase becomes the basic for a series of tepid jokes.
Hey jackass, maybe spellcheck and proofread your shit. First off, its Leslie. You misspelled the name of the main character in the show your reviewing. I’m sure that means you’re good at your job.
Second, “becomes the basic”? Hmm.. I’ve never heard that phrase, maybe because its becomes the BASIS you fucking idiot.
Also, I know the script, there are no jokes about the phrase “the Pit.” You don’t understand jokes, because you are a dumb person, as I proved above.
You’re review has been negated.
Parks and Recreation Premieres Tonight at 8:30 on NBC.
Very much looking forward to this show tonight.

The craziest thing happened to Amir a couple nights ago.
Letter of complaint regarding the use of the Beatles’ Revolution in a 1987 Nike commercial, memorialized in a display case at Nike HQ.

My favorite Jake and Amir in a while. For a series deriving most of its laughs from dialogue, it’s great to see so many laughs come from no words at all. Just brilliantly executed physical comedy.

Very “Internet Bubble 2000” photo of me and Josh in this month’s Entrepreneur magazine. But I kinda like it.

Facebook Takes a Dive: Why Social Networks Are Bad Businesses - TIME
#
While I’m not sure social networks will ever make money being ad-based, I think this guy is a bit off. He says “for a company trying to sell products or services, Facebook is mayhem in a PC.” Really? Mayhem? If I was trying to target very specific people, it seems like Facebook would be the most well-organized place to find them.
I think 2010 should be Facebook’s “Fuck You, Pay Me” year. Charge $2/month and their problems are solved. Would you pay it? Probably.

Ricky told us writers that MTV greenlit a second season… as an april fools joke.
To get him back we are starting a fake twitter account and trying to get as many followers as possible. To help us out please reblog jakes post about it:

and if you’re going to add commentary, keep it very real.
If you have a twitter, please tweet about it.
Ricky is on a flight until 4pm, so we have only 3 precious hours to get as many people to follow his twitter as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Gave a speech at Nike World HQ today and got a pass to the super-discounted employee store. I’m staying in downtown Portland at a great new hotel called “The Nines.” First time to this city and I’m really loving it.
