Any 25-year-old anarchist CUNY grad student could have written that site, given a bag of weed and some Fair Trade coffee. And I guess all the other 25-year-old anarchist CUNY grad students must be pretty jealous if one of them just got a book deal. Oh well, there's always the trust fund.

And now it's a book:

The Canadian guy who runs it just sold a book to Random House for an advance that publishing insiders said had reached at least $350,000 when it was at auction last week. Unclear how high it ended up climbing, but frankly, $350,000 is already a staggering sum for a paperback inspired by a faddish blog that launched just over two months ago.

The book, sold by William Morris literary agent Erin Malone, will be edited by Random House editor Jill Schwartzman, but according to a source familiar with the situation, Kurt Andersen—who serves at Random as editor at large—has taken an active interest in it and will play a role in its development. UPDATE: Barbara Fillon, the publicist from Random House who is working on the book, called this morning to say that the dollar amount we have is wrong. She would not specify whether the real number is higher or lower.

Also, the LOLcat page will be coming out as a book. And whoever writes http://barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com

This is definitely bad news for all the people who like to crack on blogs just because they're blogs. Apparently there's money in them there hills.

Thanks for the update, ANONYMOUS MESSAGE-BOARD POSTER.

BTW, the genius of that post did not mention the LOLcat site's book deal. So there!

Chi City 81 · Mar 26, 2008

Maybe you missed it, but I'm pretty sure the entire board now knows who IJAG is. And she's accomplished much more during her career than you ever will. But, hey, you do have that horrible BLOG! to fall back on, so good luck.

You're right. I apologize.

Go blog about how you got an apology on a message board.
