So Ricci gets a hard-on because he trended on twitter for fifteen minutes. Pathetic. What writers will stoop to for a little attention. Meanwhile he’ll never work in this town again.

Then there’s those ten thousand hits on his web site. Average pageviews: one. Average bounce rate: 85%. Average length of stay: ten seconds.

About nine seconds more than Ricci deserves.
