Today, the New York Times announced that a group of bloggers has called for universal standards/manners to be adopted by those in the blogosphere to cut down on the nastiness. Super... though one of the editors here equated that siren call to 'spitting into the wind.' Perhaps blogging into the wind is more apt.
As you'll see below, Jimmy Kimmel is all for higher journalistic standards on blogs. Watch him take a Gawker.com editor to task for a recent post.
Mo Rocca has appeared on a bunch of shows, including 'The Daily Show,' 'I Love the 80s,'...

1. Where is my Easter Bonnet?
While some may see the blogosphere and the behavior of its participants as a new phenomenon, it isn't difficult to find an appropriate predecessor model. That model is found on the streets of any metropolitan area and it is called traffic and the prevalence of road rudeness...or in its extreme...road rage.
Granted, personal attacks and snark on the internet are not likely to lead to fatalities, but if computers had wheels, it certainly would.

2. This gawker editor is one of those great-sandwiches-with-a-bug. You're eating the sandwich, it's one of those Vietnamese ones, and the mint and basil are spot-on. The pork is salty and crisp and the julienned carrots, etc. look laser-cut. Then, BAM! big-ass cockroach midway through. It's actually covered in fungus, too! I tried turning off the sound to watch her and avoid hating her, but it didn't work.

3. Give me a break, these celebrities try so hard to get noticed and when they do finnaly get recognition all they do is start saying "Don't look at me, I'm so important." You people better enjoy being famous cuz in the not too distant future the utterance of your name may bring a "Who in hell is that?" Example: Watch movie (Sunset Boulevard)
