Zapp Brannigan ray gun?
Do Want.

good job, ben. curious that i've never seen anyone from nate's pets gizmodo or gawker on the nitely news.

well, when the gawker network siteviews jump thursday, i'm sure it will have nothing whatsoever to do with the appeal of your stories with the masses. nope, not at all.

Fine, I'll watch, but try not to choke, mmmK?

you get this kind of press and appearances, and gawker wants to sell your blog?!

Ben, much like Britney Spears will whore herself out for the pop music, you will whore yourself out for the grocery shrink ray.

@mac-phisto: doh! nick, not nate. i'll have to find a way to remember that. let's see...nick rhymes with...

@B: That's what I came into the comments for. DO WANT indeed!

Oh and you can also talk aobut how the shrink ray has effected the posts on this website...I still pay the same amount but only get like 1/3 of the posts.

pft.

Go Ben, go!

Just curious about this - do the networks scope out bloggers to interview, or does Gawker have a media relations thing going on? This is exciting stuff. NBC Nightly News is a pretty big deal.

@Wormfather is Wormfather: lol. good one.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who had to track that down. $15 for a tin Zapp Branagan Atomic Ray Gun? Purchase.

Good exposure for you and Consumerist, Ben.

Any buyers for this site yet?

I'm hoping to catch it on Hulu!

Who cares?

I'll give Ben one dollar American if he blurts out, "In fact, Brian, Nick Denton applied The Incredible Shrinking Ray on his own blog: Consumerist!"

@Trai_Dep: (Err, was that petty and mean?)

PS: Congrads, Ben! Forgot to say... :)

@downwithmonstercable: They just contacted me directly (that's how all of these have been).

@Ben Popken: Nice! Give Brian Williams a turkey tap for me.
