Major Magazine Editor Furious about ‘The Reason Why Tila Tequila Is Famous’

From the Blog Post ‘The Reason Why tila Tequila Got Famout”

Do you ever wonder why certain people are famous? Especially when they are four-foot gremlin-faced whores? Well, here’s the story, according to a friend of mine who worked at StuffMagazine.com (the website for the now defunct Stuff Magazine.)

Back in 2005, the editor-in-chief of Stuff magazine wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the Internet. He called down to the online department and said, “Hey, tell me who has a lot of Myspace friends,” because he wanted to put someone on the cover of Stuff who had a “lot of Myspace friends.” The brilliant marketing plan behind this was based on the thinking that if someone on the cover had a million Myspace friends, then all those “friends” would buy that magazine and sales would skyrocket. What it showed, instead, was a complete lack of understanding of how the Internet works. When someone has a million Myspace friends, it just means that he/she spends the majority of his/her day clicking “add as a friend” or “accept.” They aren’t pals who sit around and reminisce about the good times they’ve had.

Tila Tequila’s Debut!

From Tila Tequila Update: We Made Someone Mad - the Follow Up Post to ’The Reason Why Tila Tequila Got Famous” 

Well, apparently our post on how Tila Tequila got famous made the former editor-in-chief of Stuff Magazine a teensy bit defensive. Jimmy Jellinek, the editor that put her on the cover, sent a lovely e-mail to Holy Taco this morning about the post. We didn’t know you were such an avid reader, Jimmy! Here’s the love note:

Looks like Jimminy Cricket (who now works for Heavy.com) still has a wee chip on his shoulder about all this.
