An internet phenomenon that was slowly gaining wider acceptance, but an Internet phenomenon none-the-less.<BR/><BR/>But, I couldn't resist the digs at the Indy movie that I'd previously resisted, and the writing got away from me.<BR/><BR/>I hope no harm was done, and, again, thanks for the clarification.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953503728314023580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599583.post-62533349198197541742008-07-29T17:53:00.000+02:002008-07-29T17:53:00.000+02:00Hi, I am the owner of nukethefridge.com.

As shocking as this may be to hear...the New York Times completely misquoted me and tried to create controversy where there was none. He asked me who was more likely to use jump the shark and who was more likely to use nuke the fridge. I said "My partner Luis says that people who may be a little older who are not internet saavy enough to frequent message boards would probably have only heard of 'jump the shark', while those who are young and internet saavy to be on the internet all day long will probably be more inclined to use the newest catchphrases like 'nuke the fridge.'" That was my exact quote. Also when he asked me what I thought about Joe Hein and jumptheshark.com and if we were competing with him, I said "I respect Joe and all the work he has done. Without what he already did, there would be no nuke the fridge. I love his site. But we are not competing with him. He covers TV while we cover movies. Jump the shark is for tv shows, while nuke the fridge is for movies." But seriously when is the last time a journalist actually reported the truth. Just thought you would like to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
