LA Times - The Next Chapter...of Shame!!

Tsk Tsk Tsk.

As previously reported in "Surrealism...On the March!" notice would be paid to the LA Times about the purloining of our Surrealism. Here is the official Dan and Vince email release to every editor we could find contact information about at the LA Times:

"We were wondering what to do if it appears you guys re-appropriated a feature story from us without credit? It occurred to us that Patrick Day's Feb. 7th article "Real Lessons from Fake Presidents" bore an astoundingly striking resemblance to our blog "Let Hollywood Be Your Super Tuesday Guide," which was published on Feb. 1 and prominently linked to by the Internet Movie Database on Feb. 5th, generating thousands of hits and certainly leaving the door open for someone at the Times to read it. And then the Times article wound up in the exact same IMDb link list where our blog first appeared. We guess it's possible someone just happened to come up with the exact same idea five days later, using the same examples and some of the same Geena Davis jokes, but it begins to strain credulity, which, for us, takes some doing. Just because we're Surrealists, don't think we don't bleed like everybody else."

To which their reader's liason responded:
"Hi Dan & Vince, Thank you for writing. I'd be interested to know the particular elements that you are seeing as bearing an 'astoundingly striking resemblance' between those features so that I can look into this further. XXX XXXX Asst. Readers' Representative"

Notice the use of sarcastic quotation marks. We did.

Stay tuned.
