“ I think comedy is about surprise and honesty,” said Novak. “And ideally you surprise people with a sudden burst of honesty. And I think that’s what ‘The Office’ did when it came on the air. And I think it’s what ‘Seinfeld’ did. And what ‘Friends’ even did. People were used to comedies that were based on other comedies. Not that were based on real life. And so they stopped being funny. “Every few years, you have, when you’re lucky, a correction on television and in the movies with how people actually talk and actually think. And it feels like a revelation.

Interestingly timed article on people leaving Facebook (I just joined this week).
I don’t really have a fully formed opinion on Facebook yet, though it’s been interesting to observe it as someone coming so late to the party. My initial reaction is simply “too much noise.” I guess that makes me the ideal candidate for Facebook Light?

A clip from last night’s Daily Show, which was amazing.
There’s a reason beind the well-worn statistic that young people get their news from The Daily Show, and it isn’t because they’re too lazy or unsophisticated to get it from a news program without dick jokes.
I’m pretty sure is has to do with the fact that Jon Stewart appears to be the only broadcaster who puts basic reason and logic above anything else.

Recently found out that an experience years ago with a Daily Candy employee resulted in the coining of a new term in their office lexicon. Pretty proud.
* Sidenote: Yes, I was pretty oblivious back then.
