Goodnight and good luck


Dear loyal MTVReality readers,

This will be my last post as editor of this website. It's been a wild run since those salad days of November 2006 when this humble site began. We've followed an LC sex-tape that was too boring to sell. We followed Jason Wahler's exploits like he was the asteroid in Deep Impact. We told you he had to go to museum of tolerance. We were a source for these things. We saw Real World Denver, and Real World Hollywood. We covered Infernos, and challenges. We managed to piss A LOT of people off with jokes about "cutters."

We had a brief but important relationship with My Super Sweet Sixteen. We met the Crowned Prince of Cleveland. I had a facebook message exchange with The Crowned Prince of Cleveland. It ended when he said: "I have to get up early tomorrow to take my driver's road test." I laughed.

I won't forget the 206,520 pageviews since I started. Or the 146,000 people who have visited the site. I won't forget the loyal readers, who made this thing worthwhile and fun. I won't forget getting slammed by people who couldn't take a joke. I won't forget all the help I had.

It's been a wild ride and I'm officially turning over the project to two wonderful, smart, fantastically funny people. Getbackinthenews has been staple around here for a while and Phoebe contributed mightily to the Real World Hollywood disaster. So, without further ado, I give you the new caretakers of a dream. I can't wait to see where they take it and hope they'll be nice enough to have me back once in awhile. If you're looking for me, I'll be over here. It's been a blast.
