Blogfight!: Philebrity vs. Phawker

In this corner, Joey Sweeney and Philebrity, the blog that invented the concept of putting -ebrity at the end of a word to make an awkward portmanteau (and commonly available URL).
In the other corner, Jonathan Valania and Phawker, the Matrixy black-and-green site he started after parting ways with Sweeney earlier this year over dissenting creative visions (”Yeah, mine was to not suck,” Sweeney says.) that currently blames its launch delays on Stephen Colbert. It’s always that fucking Colbert.
Somebody make sure to video the ensuing altercation when the two meet out at a bar, and send us a link when it’s up on YouTube.
