Judith Griggs totally deserves this... If you're interested in what actually happened, you can go read about it here. (I don't recommend doing so with anything in your mouth, lest your outrage/exasperation/laughter/WTF-splosion spray it all over your keyboard and screen. Don't say I didn't warn you.)

I have been watching this train wreck all day. Most appropriate comment so far: "Wow, if schadenfreude were sugar, this would be like injecting PixieSticks straight into your eyeballs."

She wins the Internet!

Whether she wants it or not! :-)

Yeah, I've been following it too; when I checked LJ this morning, it was only at comment #12 on Monica's (Illadore's) post about it.

Watching it snowball throughout the day (online bitching is one thing, but when it gets written about in the LA Times, NY Times, Guardian, Time, and contacts from the Food Network) has brought me to a new level of awareness of the current power of modern social media.

Holy crap!

Ho. Lee. Shit.

Give small people a little bit of power and they'll spray it all over the place. Ye gads. I hope this shit storm she made fully blows up in her face.

crap.

Just what I need- a bitch with not only my last name, but her first initial is mine as well. I don't want my last name as bad slang! No no no!

Interestingly enough, I actually have a relative by the name of Judith Griggs, and after seeing my facebook post, Mom called me to make sure that it wasn't OUR relative that was a national embarrassment.

Do you know, there was actually a fellow who's Name Was Mudd. Which is where the turn of phrase "your name is mud" comes from. It has nothing to do with soil and everything to do with the Lincoln assassination. I suppose my second cousin (or however one addresses one's father's cousin) will now have to spend YEARS introducing herself as "not THAT Judith Griggs."
