“Shit My Dad Says”
So you’ve probably heard about the Twitter phenomenon which is @shitmydadsays currently with 1,192,000+ followers.
Perhaps you’ve read this: “When Moving in with Your Parents Can Land You a Book Deal”:
Having to move back home at the age of 28 almost universally signals defeat. Images of an unemployed, not-so-well-adjusted George Costanza character from “Seinfeld” might spring to mind.
In Justin Halpern’s case, moving from Los Angeles to his parents’ house in San Diego planted the seeds for a Twitter page that’s quickly growing into an Internet phenomenon, attracting offers from literary agents and book publishers.
And just maybe you’ve even seen this:
• S — t My Dad Says: The profoundly excellent Twitter feed @shitmydadsays, which is in contention to become a CBS TV series next fall, has cast William Shatner in the titular role of the dad.
Well, if you haven’t or if your mind is reeling at the very idea that a Twitter feed is on the verge of becoming a TV series, the best thing for you is to read this: Ranker.com’s Best of SMDS. A few choice examples:
“A parent’s only as good as their dumbest kid. If one wins the Nobel Prize, but the other gets robbed by a hooker, you’ve failed.”
“No, I’m not a pessimist. At some point, the world shits on everybody. Pretending it ain’t shit makes you an idiot, not an optimist.”
Thanks to Ranker.com, now you won’t embarrass yourself at the next social outing by not knowing what SMDS is all about.
