I learned something new the other day. As we know there’s all kinds of social networking sites out there, there’s actually an anti-social networking site out there. It’s called Snubster. There’s another one called iSolatr, which is just a mock up site. You can’t actually join up. But at Snubster, you can and you basically can mouth off and bitch about anything and everything that’s ever pissed you off. (What the hell do I need a anti-social network for? I got my blog.)

Anyway, I took a peek at it and found something about it strangely familiar. Familiar in that they make use of two lists for the mouthing off and bitching portion: “On Notice” and “Dead to Me.”

Gee, where have I’ve seen these lists before…

Yeah. Stephen Colbert with his “On Notice” and “Dead to Me” lists. Now I dunno if Stephen originated the concept of “On Notice” and “Dead to Me” himself or if he got the idea somewhere else but since becoming familiar with Mr. Colbert and his show two years ago I’ve noticed the two lists are used a lot in various other places by other people.  They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but I think Stephen would just figure people are trying to rip ‘em off.

Or, as the case may be here, snubbed.
