is he still talking about that stupid mall cop movie? jesus.

my only hope is the runaway success of "paul blart: mall cop" will reflect some richly deserved limelight on its obvious source material, "drabble."

last weekend, the american people proved they can hear about a widely panned comedy starring a morbidly obese man in a mall cop costume perched atop a segway, and still think "this is the best thing out there right now."

and this day would never have come without drabble tirelessly and thanklessly toiling in near-anonymity to pave the way for such widescale bemusement/apathy toward fat mall cops on segways.

i'm calling you out, blart. pay your dues and honor your roots!
