when the world didn’t need another blog, it got one about a pig with bread wings

I’ve been informed that breadpig is featured in this month’s Best of DC issue of the Washingtonian magazine. A gold doubloon to whomever can email me a scan of the article. Alas, we don’t get the Washingtonian here in SF.

To my knowledge, this is the first time the word “breadpig” has appeared in a print publication. It shalln’t be the last.

Eliot Glazer has excellent taste. He submitted FeedbackFail to BuzzFeed a little while back, describing it as follows:

When websites ask for feedback from readers, those who respond might be crazy, as this collection of advisory e-mails illustrates. Although is it really best to solicit advice from people who hype retarded cats?

I’m not sure where the retarded cats fit into all this, but who am I to question publicity?

Paramount canned my screenplay for Breadpig: The Movie for this? I’m appalled. Hollywood has no taste — true art is never appreciated during its time anyway.

Feedback Fail is already being hailed as “the new Google” by some. Others are just surprised at how crazy some people are.

We’ve already gotten some link-love from fellow Tumblrs like Aaron Blazey and apparently Jason Calacanis even twittered about it. And Jason doesn’t just twitter about anything… OK, that’s not true, but it’s still nice to see our little flaming envelope getting some attention.

If you’ve got feedback failures of your own, by all means send them.

This supposed “breadpig” doesn’t have bread wings, nor is it a pig, but it does have a blog.

I found this false breadpig through a foodie blog from a blogger in Singapore.

The “lady iron chef” has some fancy food photos, and makes this disingenuous claim:

The Bread Pig Journey

You are always welcome at ladyironchef. Whatever written herein are my genuine feelings about my food adventure, expressed in words that may be subjected to my personal distortion or bias.

I support any quest for food, Ms. ladyironchef, but I know breadpig, and you are no breadpig.

Stay vigilant, breadpig supporters, for this is not the true breadpig journey.

This very geeky XO laptop is on its way to Europe. The woman at the post office was very confused by the pig with breadwings.

Fellow LOLer and ROFLaptop signer, Adam Lindsay, reflects on his one year anniversary of starting LOLCode. He also marked the occasion on the LOLCode blog (a project I’ve always had a certain fondness for since this O’Reilly edition).

Oh, and there are even a few generous breadpig ‘n’ LOLmagnetz shoutouts. Well played, Adam. Well played.

This was my first job moderating a panel and I must say, it was probably the best speaking-related thing I’ve done. Pay attention. You might learn something.

A big thanks to Respectably French for filming this and putting it online.

Not bad for a $200 laptop covered in marker, eh?

Thanks again to all of you who helped with your signatures and support.

Nick Gonzalez (former TechCruncher turned startup-guy) recently wrote on the auction and even remembered the first eBay-for-charity auction Steve and I did last July.

And I also got sent a LOLmagnetz shoutout by Thomas Nybergh — he really sums it up well:

From the Non-allergenic lolcats dept.: Put last year’s mainstream Internet meme on your fridge… tomorrow! Non-US orders accepted.

The breadpig couldn’t agree more. Pre-order yours today!
Thanks to both Nick and Thomas for spreading the bacon around.
