So my cousin runs a blog: Fudge That Sugar.

She isn't looking to monetize – she simply likes to share her zany outlook on life and the entertainment industry.

Anyhow, she loves the show Law and Order: SVU.  She knows its bad, and predictible, but she can't get enough of it – and admits it.

She has even gone as far as to start writing short comics making fun of the show.

Anyhow, i'll let you read the article yourselves but in a nutshell – she got an email from "Ice-T", then from the assistant to the primary male char on the show asking for signed copies of the comic … read the rest for yourselves.  I am super proud of my cousin and I think that if our site were to ever get recognized in such a manner i'd be happy as a duck in water.

NOTE: there is some foul language in her posts.

edit: Ice T did not contact my cousin, but did the referral – whoops

That's neat.  I watch SVU far more than I should probably admit in public.

That's an awesome story!  Looks like it runs in the family eh?  Hopefully one day we all get a nice surprise similar to that one.  Laugh

Pretty cool story, but too much swearing at the site for me.

I agree – she caters to an entirely different audience than the PF blogging world.

At least she tones it down for Thanksgiving dinner.

I read the first comic that she linked to and I laughed pretty hard when reading it.

Great stuff and awesome that she got to interact in such an amazing way with the people she makes the comic about!

Pretty cool.  That's what's great about the web, it's so easy to conntect.

 

True story – I met Ice-T after one of his concerts back in the day.  He was standing outside just hanging out and was real approachable.  And this was pretty much at the height of his controversy.
