Michael Ian Black, for those of you who don’t know, is a commentator on “I Love the ‘90s”, as well one of three stars on the cancelled Comedy Central show “Stella”. He now contributes to McSweeney’s occasionally, and is working on a book. (His salami article is my favorite.)
In a publicity stunt, he’s trying to fight noted blogger Tucker Max, who has just published the most hideous movie script ever (highlights can be found on Gawker). Not exactly the new blogger turned Juno writer that Diablo Cody was. Anyway,apparently David Sedaris was Black's first choice, which seems kind of unfair, since he’s like, you know, sixty. Tucker Max accepted, and I’m pretty sure he’ll win, despite the fact that he promised to show up smashed drunk. But hey, you never know.
Kids these days!
