"Don't Bash Me on Your Blog. My Mom Googles Me."
Posted by Ellie Mirman on Fri, Oct 26, 2007 @ 10:08 AM
That's what my uncle,
Eugene Mirman,
said at his comedy show in Boston last night. It's funny because it's
true - his mom definitely does. She may even find this post and then my
new blog will be revealed to the rest of my family. It's especially
funny if you know his mom, and imagine her sitting at the computer
typing his name into Google every day to find those Eugene-bashers and
Eugene-lovers.
The image is definitely strange to me - but not
as strange as the image of my dad on YouTube, which I have reluctantly
accepted as a reality.
What I realize is that I'm partly still
of the mentality that doesn't quite get how huge the blogosphere and
all these other internet marketing things have gotten. But if my
step-grandmother is on Google every day and my dad is the one who sends
me the most YouTube videos, well, this stuff is pretty big.
