You and I are similar guys. You're very handsome. I'm very handsome. You love hayrides. I love hayrides. You Tivo Simon & Simon. I Tivo Simon & Simon.
But there is one similarity that makes our similarities very similar. Your new webseries, Bathing with Bierko, is exactly like this blog you're reading. In your webseries you interview celebs in the bathtub. On my blog I interview celebs in the shower. You bathed John Malkovich. I've bathed Mark Linn-Baker, Derek Jeter, Bell Biv Devoe, Teen Wolf and other major stars.
You see what I mean?
Now since we're so similar, I'm sure you didn't steal my well-documented idea on purpose. You know what they say, great minds stink alike. But I do hope that you recognize the four years of pure hilarity I've put into this blog and offer me a job on your show.
A conscience is only clean after it bathes. Do what's right and let me into the shower.
Your handsome and intellectual double,
Marc Cantone

I can't believe you've been Bierkoed! It appears Mr. Bierko, who was nominated for 2000 Tony Award for his portrayal of con-man Harold Hill in Broadway's "The Music Man" has adopted his character's penchant for unfairness and dishonesty...

I've been reading your blog for a while now, it is quite humorous. Craig's is too creepy for me.
I don't think they are similar enough for you to call it plagarism, and doing so makes you kinda sound whiney. But i'm not a lawyer, so what the hell, sue his pants off.

I'm sure by this point you've been alerted to Sarah Benincas's(spelling?) "Tub Talk".

I think she wins.

Awww, Ben! You sweetheart!
Marc, I do think I win, but I'm also open to you winning in your own special way. I'm thinking you, me, Bierko, and the spirit of gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk (just because it would be awesome) in an outdoor hot tub, under the stars, drinking ginger ale and interviewing an animatronic donkey.
Thoughts?

I'm a bit confused. Bierko has videos. You don't.
That pretty much sums it up.
