Last week Marty Beckerman, author of Generation SLUT, penned a column for the Huffington Post explaining why he thinks Star Trek’s Capt. Jean-Luc Picard would make a far better president than Dubya.
It was supposed to be funny. But what was even funnier happened after Beckerman proudly sent an e-mail out to his pals and colleagues pointing to the piece. Instead of including his contact list in the TO: box, he just CC’d everyone he knew, explaining that when he BCC’s people using his Yahoo e-mail address, his messages tend to go directly to spam.
And then debauchery of the sort one might see at a Star Trek convention began.
“No problem,” Mike Jasper, a writer based in Texas, quickly wrote back. “Only a total asshole would hit ‘reply to all’ anyway.” A few more “replies to all” trickled in, with one even suggesting that Beckerman had once touched the sender inappropriately.
Enter FOX News’ Lindsay Carlton, a booker for the net’s morning Red Eye program. “Can you please take me off this list??” she asked with urgency.
Soon, a Klingon-like war began.
“Can someone please take FOX News off my television, forever and ever?” replied Nick Antosca, an author and fellow Huffington Post contributor. Many more unrepeatable jabs were soon to follow.
David Abitol, a blogger at Jewlicious, so far, has had the last word on the subject: “Oh, poor, poor Lindsay Carlton. This isn’t a list per se. We’re all just responding to an e-mail…. Just run with it Lindsay Carlton and try not to take offense. Well, not too much anyway. You are in august company.”
Looks like FOX News is going to need some major repair after this battle with Beckerman’s Star Trek enterprise.

The question is why he would be using Yahoo e-mail in 2007. He can’t “afford” Gmail?
I sort of feel bad for Marty just because I find him sort of cute.
“Sort of”?
And Rob, you never told me that you were a belle of the south….
Lay off Lindsay Carlton you loser nerds who have never gotten laid in your lives
