St. Louis’ Pi: The Fightingest Pizza Place on Twitter!

 Posted on September 15, 2009  |  The Editor

Every business in the world is on Twitter these days, and 90% of them just spam out links or at best have some schmuck behind the profile fartting out gems like: “Sure am glad I brought my [insert product] with me today! You should get one too!”, “Wow, [insert product] is so awesome. Send us a photo of yours” or “How many of [insert product] do you like I can get in up my ass? [Read More]

Chris Files Walks Behind George Clooney

 Posted on September 14, 2009  |  The Editor

Is that Chris Files, host of The Toast which is the diamond in the rough that is ToastedRav.com, in the new Up in the Air trailer walking behind star George Clooney? It sure is! Things are looking good for Files to make it in to the final cut of the movie when it drops November 13th which is pretty cool…I’m sure it wasn’t as much of a thrill as it was working with me doing Don’t Puke videos, but still, pretty exciting.

Fox2, like most media companies, are making their employees do the furlough thing to keep the company a float in the toilet bowl that is the media economy for a little longer and now its Glenn Zimmerman’s turn. The thing is though, he’s not diluting himself in to thinking this is an vacation, he’s putting himself out there to find work on his downtime! Straight from Glenn’s site: Here’s the deal — the economy is in the dumps and a lot of businesses are urging employees to take furlough weeks [Read More]

Sighting: Flipping Out’s Jeff Lewis at Outback

 Posted on September 14, 2009  |  The Editor

We admit, calling this a “St. Louis sighting” is a stretch, but we got the tip and we love love love this show, so we are running with it. Jeff Lewis, from the Bravo reality show Flipping Out was spotted with “executive assistant” Jenni Pulos dining at the Outback in Cape Girardeau, MO just moments ago. For those that don’t know the show, Jeff Lewis is a real estate “flipper” and Jenni, one of his employees, is best known for her ability to calm the neurotic Jeff down from one of his frequent flare ups.

Slow News Day For St. Louis Outlets: Three Examples of Non-News

 Posted on September 9, 2009  |  The Editor

Not every day can bring the death of a pop super star, a buyout of a local institution or even weather related news. Apparently one of those days was yesterday because there were some people out there at our local news sources freaking struggling to get something out the door! “Three sisters have weight loss surgery together” from KSDK.com Should have been titled: “Three Fat Sisters Get Surgery Together Because All Hate Being Fat, but Not Enough To Do Actual Work.

Is There a Spam Mafia War Brewing At Fox 2?

 Posted on September 8, 2009  |  The Editor

Last week we told you of our refusal to join the mafia family of Fox 2’s deceivingly effervescent morning guy John Pertzborn, and then over the Labor Day weekend we get this! Yup, that’s another Fox 2 personality, Kevin Steincross (@KevinStx) trying to spam us in to joining his mafia family! This means there are two distinct mafia families going on at Fox 2, both run by the most nasty, heartless men in employ there. [Read More]

Post Dispatch Sends Bonetti Packing, and He Goes Out Like A Bitch

 Posted on September 8, 2009  |  The Editor

This week in our apparently on-going feature of long time (and well-paid) Post Dispatch employees getting swept out the door and sending out “They tell me I have to say I’m leaving on my own or they won’t give me that extra money they promised” emails, we feature art critic David Bonetti. He left the post “Farewell to the Lou” on his “Culture Club” blog Friday. As some of you might have heard, I am leaving the Post-Dispatch. [Read More]

Fox 2’s John Pertzborn is a Twitter Spammer

 Posted on September 4, 2009  |  The Editor

We don’t want to be rude to Fox 2’s own John Pertzborn, but we are going to have to pass his invitation to join his Mafia family. Confused? We got the following automated direct message from John (@pertzfox) today: We had to decline. But not because we don’t love John, and his behind the scenes youtube-ing, but because we just aren’t comfortable owing any favors to the Pertzborn mafia family. Sure he looks nice on TV, but that guy will break your hands for no reason at all, and snap your neck if you give him one. [Read More]
