Post-Chronicle won't let it go

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 11th, 2007

While we were on vacation, we missed this gem from the Post-Chronicle (at the end of their rip-and-read posting on the L.A. Coroner’s report on the death of Rich Jeni):

Side note: The Post Chronicle was the first news outlet to report the death of Jeni. Although a clown known as Brian McKim of SHECKY Magazine has gone to great lengths to dispute our claim.

Our publisher – who didn’t even write the disputed piece – attempted to appease McKim, a struggling philly comic who obviously needs the publicity, by giving him and his site credit. Mr. Centanni’s reward was to be slandered by McKim on the Shecky site as well as a myspace site later on.

It’s truly a shame that Mr. Mckim felt if necessary to attempt to exploit the death of Mr. Jeni for his lame site’s selfish benefit.

Priceless!

The above “article” was penned by someone calling himself “Jack Ryan.”

We’re especially tickled by that bit about “publicity” garnered from a mention in the Post-Chronicle.

We gotta end this post now. The phone’s ringing and it’s Spielberg. He’s been phoning us ever since he read about us in the Post-Chronicle!

(Read about the entire pathetic episode on our MySpace blog by clicking here. It’s the posting entitled “Blog Wars.” And, if you want to judge for yourself whether or not we “exploited” Jeni’s death or if we provided our readers with some of most thoughtful, sensitive and knowledgeable coverage available anywhere, just click on our March archive and scroll through it.)
