"By the way, nice picture. Where’d you license it?" Zing! FWIW-I have contacted these news organizations previously -- with cease and desist letters. I therefore didn't quite expect they'd be eager to participate in an interview on the subject. If any wish to submit a response, however, I'd be happy to publish it.

That story didn't just land on Digg, it landed all over the blogosphere, the Twittersphere, Facebook, etc. Your presumption that awards show writers have no significant familiarity with what's happening online is undermined by the countless parodies of popular Internet memes that have turned up on television in the last five years. I can show you like, 25 celebrity parodies of Chris Crocker's leave Brittany alone video, but you can't believe that an article that was the top story on Digg one day might have actually reached a comedy writer? Who's the one out of touch with reality?

I disagree with you all. That Hasidic meth lab story was the #1 story on Digg the day JTA reported it. And while yes, it was clearly a joke, the joke was in reference to the meth lab at Agriprocessors. I sincerely doubt any Hollywood writer merely invented such a concept from their own imagination. They were making reference to a news story that, FYI, is the top viewed content on JTA.org in its history.
