And then the stars of Portlandia renewed my faith in America. Even though they might be Canadian. I should probably check Wikipedia.

September 16, 2011

in I am totally overrated,this blog cures cancer

So, this morning I got a follow-up email from Fred Armisen, telling me that they personally made sure that their legal department is now aware that they are just fine with sharing birds with the rest of America.  And this photo was attached. THIS is how you resolve a customer complaint:

Why, yes, that is Carrie and Fred holding my bag.

It’s also why I will be a fan of Portlandia, Fred, and Carrie for the rest of my damn life.

Confused?  Click here for the back-story.

PS.  Yes, you can buy that bag if you want it.  (Any profits will go to the Austin Pets Alive shelter.)

PPS.  True story:  Today I was at the craft store looking for things to put on the giant Marie Antoinette wig that I’m making, and the clerk helping me was like “Hmm…well, we could put a bird on it?”  Then I just nodded, and -with a small tear in my eye- I said, “Yes.  Yes we can put a bird on it.”

PPS.  You really should be watching this show:

“Mettre un oiseau sur elle” would be a more appropriate phrase for Marie Antoinette….just saying….in case you are out and about ‘being’ Marie…..and you should probably add a “Y’all” at the end so no one confuses you with the real one….things didn’t turn out so well for her.

A friend next to my studio makes stuff- she sells stuff that she makes- she put cool birds on her stuff- and then PORTLANDIA put a bird on it- My friend had cancellation of her goods in shops in Portland after that. so, yeah, they pretty much made birds Hitleresque in popularity. My son is now living in Portland- he sees Fred shopping in the same Safeway, so much for dumpster diving lifestyle- Poser!

It’s like when I saw a bit of The Office online and I was IN LOVE and I kept raving about it on Facebook and such and couldn’t believe that the rest of the world wasn’t watching The Office, which, of course, THEY WERE, but I was too behind-the-times to realize it.

117 E M Foster September 16, 2011 at 8:08 pm

I am so very happy to see not only a happy ending to this saga, but a truly ginormous happy ending to this saga!!! If I hadn’t spent insanely ridiculous amount of $$$ on yarn and books and knitting needles and crochet hooks over the past week, I would buy one now. As it is, I have to bide my time for a bit. :-D

I have to say that the ending here and the story about the motorcyclist rescued from under the burning car that hit him have made a warm, fuzzy ending to the week for me. (It also helps that Grandma has the kiddos for the weekend.)

Let’s keep it real. If they really, really wanted to resolve this customer complaint, they’d travel down Highway 290 in Dripping Springs, TX. Then they’d see a big ol’15 ft. Beyonce the Chicken staring down at’em.

On the left when going south.

Then they’d place that big ol’15 ft. Beyonce the Chicken somewhere in the background OF THE SHOW.

And they’d be wearing a “Knock, Knock…” shirt while carrying a “Put a Bird on It” bag.

And really…there is no end to this.

Ok, Mousebart (comment #88), you stole my theory. As a marketer, I have to think that this was a completely labrynthian marketing ploy to get people (who, like myself, had never heard of Portlandia, but love the Bloggess) to now want to slavishly devote themselves to the show. The overcoming of negative emotion creates a much stronger bond. (Oh, and BTW, if you find this convincing, I am currently “in between opportunities”…).
But really, I just put it down to the awesomeness of The Bloggess…. and the overwhelming human desire to put a bird on it, just in general…

Out of curiosity – do only profits from the “approved” bag to go the shelter, or any of the bird bags? I love your big metal chicken one, but since I live right next to the fires, I’d love to help out and get a bag at the same time. :)

(Just the approved one, but if it makes you feel any better I donated a ton to the volunteer firefighters fund and the Bastrop Fire Relief fund when the fires were at their worst and that all came out of my zazzle account. I don’t advertise it as such, but my zazzle account is the one I use for donating to the tons of charities people ask me about. Feels like free money so it’s easier to give away. ~ Jenny)

Great… for the past few days, I’ve been putting birds on everything, as a gesture of solidarity and support for the Bloggess. Now there’s no need for this act of defiance. I mean, what’s the point of putting birds on stuff when it’s no longer a guerilla, grass-roots, possibly illegal, anti-establishment deed?

Here’s something I learned, though: It’s amazing how many things have birds. You don’t notice them until you start looking, but people put birds all over the place!

Haven’t read all the comments, so this may have been previously noted…apologies in advance for any accidental unintended redundancy.

Seems to me that there’s a spin-off here, where Beyonce does the Put A Ring On It dance but substitutes the word “bird” for “ring”. Of course, I’ve not seen the show you refer to (yet)…did they already do this? or should that be “dodo this?”

I think this would be a huge hit with all the single birdies (all the single birdies)

don’t pay me any attention….

(And the Beyonce to whom I refer is the shiny, sexy one. Not the one who’s married to JayZ. Because that would undoubtedly raise the ire of lawyers. And I know how you hate when that happens.)

I love that they took a photo with the bag. That is so cool.
Btw, I’d never heard of the show, but I’ll be looking out for it now.

Ohh this show is awesome squared. It’s not often I want to just sit down and watch an entire series on Netflix. This is one of them

Wonderful points altogether, you simply gained a logo new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your publish that you simply made some days ago? Any sure?
