This Is Funny

November 16, 2006 – 5:38 pm

So I’m reading Howard Lindzon this morning. He produces WallStrip some financial video show. They goof hard on Cramer on the show today. He also tears Jim Cramer a new ass on his blog.

“Let’s face it, America loves Cramer. BooYUTZ! Let’s not lie, he is brave and shameless. I just posted over on my blog how that creates Celebrity in this Web 2.0 world. Add Cramer to that list. I could not, would not go there. I am happy to give up what he has gotten. Queen’s Public Acces - BIG DEAL!”

Harsh.

Then I go over to Fred Wilson’s blog, he’s an investor in WallStrip, he is also was one of the original TheStreet.com investors. His tone was slightly different.

“Wallstrip is a fan of Jim Cramer and they showed their appreciation for him and his Mad Money show with this roast.”

So I happen to be a member of the Friar’s Club, the guys who invented the roast. I know roasts. Roasts are done with love from friends. Lindzon’s tone doesn’t sound like he’s a friend, and Fred sounds like he’s a diplomat doing damage control.

UPDATE: The obsession with Cramer continues on Lindzon’s site.
