blogfucking the hand you bit from

Those five of you who have kept up with our feeble web site may remember when, a few weeks back, two-twenty admonished Gawker editrix Jessica to be more funny. Of course, biting the hand that clearly inspired you and that you flagrantly mimic being the delicate operation that it is, our critique was buried in a pile of kudos for the Gawker Media Empire (we don't want to be disinvited to our favorite fellow-WASP Flintlock's next birthday party). We suggested the time-tested cure-all for self-styled comedians (and -iennes) everywhere (no, not hyphenated words; not parenthetical asides, either): monkeys are always funny!

Seems today that Jessica took our advice:

We heard from our pet monkey... [that] since their breakup, Brad and Jennifer have been staying at [an unnamed Beverly Hills hotel] with some frequency. They always arrive and leave separately, but isn’t it an interesting coincidence that the two always seem to be staying at the hotel on the very same nights?

We don’t know why we didn’t mention this earlier. Must’ve slipped our minds — we’ve been really busy lately. But isn’t our monkey cute? His name is Frank.

Now THAT's comedy! We approve. But, being the nitpickers that we are, we have to point out that we would have named the monkey "Murray".
