Attention wannabe celebrities of the blogosphere: Take a lesson from Violet Blue. Should you finally achieve your goal of getting your picture in the New York Times, be quick to dismiss the Gray Lady's staffers as annoying retards who Don't Get It and you just wish they'd leave you alone. Do this before the story runs. An amazing thing will happen: Those moronic hacks at the Times, with their newsroom ethics and their rhino-thick skins, will print and distribute your photo even after they've seen your putdowns. They don't do "unpublishing." Be sure to make them sorry for it.
