Gallery of the Absurd Featured In The NY Times

The article appeared in the Arts section of the Sunday, Oct. 8th issue of The New York Times and was so large we had to take a picture of it as proof. Even then, we still couldn't believe how LARGE it was. We're still in a state of shock. Read the article here. Much thanks to the NY Times!

Just think, I can say, "I knew her when..." Again.

The article was fabulous and much deserved recognition for someone who is incredibly talented and witty and snarky.

I want to especially thank you for the ruler demo thingy. xo

I squealed when I saw that just b/c I've been reading this site for so long. And the article was so flattering, too, giving props to the more clever forms of satire.

Posted by: ambika | October 12, 2006 at 10:59 AM

Congratulations! I just thought I'd let you know that this article was linked from IMDB today also. They've linked to articles about this site in the past as well (that's how I first heard of it), so I would presume that they are fans!
