Cheezburger, Cheezburger: Ben and Emily do New York

OK, so I still miss the Itchmo Web log. But Ben Huh had a top Web site before the pet-food recall broke, and he couldn’t make a living off Itchmo so he had to refocus on his original site. Bet you know Ben’s “other” site: icanhascheezburger.com.
From this report on the Webby Awards:
The LOLCatz guy and his wife don’t even own a cat! Yes, it’s true, Ben Huh, the genius behind icanhascheezburger.com, doesn’t even own a cat. It seems he and his wife Emily are allergic to felines.
This would’ve been Netiquette’s big red carpet scoop had the Huhs’ not told the exact same fact to the New York magazine reporter next in line.
However, they do own an 11-year-old poodle mix named Nemo that they emphasized is a rescue dog. This and the fact that despite the heat, Ben wore his trademark plushy cheeseburger novelty hat the entire evening, makes the Huhs super cool in Netiquette’s book.
Ben and Emily are at the end of the article. Cute picture, too.
Anyone who hasn’t visited icanhascheezburger.com hasn’t lived yet!
