Correcting the completely inane Details “Flow-Chart,” which even a CURSORY fact-check would have rendered unprintable.
- Arrington and I have NEVER, EVER dated. That is fucking disgusting. We abhor each other - and most everyone who knows us, knows this.
- Pete Cashmore and I have posed in several photographs together, but I wouldn’t call us “friends.” We’re barely acquaintances. And Jakob, Charles & David are all good friends, which most people know, but wasn’t mentioned.
- Randi Zuckerberg and Meghan and I ARE genuinely friends, which, of course, was not noted. And although friendly, I think it would be inaccurate and an overstatement to call myself friends with her brother.
- Meghan and I are VERY good friends with both Caroline McCarthy & David Karp, which wasn’t noted there, oddly, as it’s well-documented and anyone with a passing familiarity with “google” or “our blogs” could have figured that out by the 800 photos we’ve posted of each other over the last year.
- We’re also friendly with Jason Calacanis, who is, by the way, not really a rival of Charles Forman’s - their public comments about the other being a douchebag is posturing they both do as a meta joke, which either would readily admit to, given the chance.
- In the article (not in this chart), the “reporter” alleged that I dated Jakob Lodwick in 2006 (um, no, I didn’t even know him then, we dated in 2007) and Kevin Rose “years ago” (I dated him for about five seconds earlier this year). Both of those instances are RETARDEDLY well-documented. I mean, really??? HOW SLOPPY CAN YOU GET?!
- Finally, the reporter used MYSPACE to determine my age as “26,” incorrectly, of course. I’m 27. That’s ridiculously easy to find out from any reputable source, or, if she were confused, she could have - gasp! - sent me an email. It’s not as if I’m difficult to reach.
You know, none of this (except the Arrington bullshit) really matters to me or affects my life. BUT WHAT IF IT DID?? And this magazine - not a blog, I might add, with an excuse like “we’re just a blog! No one believes any of it anyway!” - but an actual print magazine, owned by Conde Nast - didn’t even BOTHER to do the most BASIC and EASY of fact-checks?!?
Seriously? Shame on them.
