On VH-1 there was some show about reality show stars. "Where Are They Now," you might ask about various people networks have tricked you into caring about.

Apparently one guy has become some kind of professional asshole in Los Angeles.

He claims to have invented the word "showmance", which refers to an artificial romance that arises during a reality show.

And he knows it's going to catch on, because he "copyrighted" it and will sue anyone else who uses it. Because he knows how languages evolve about as well as he knows intellectual property laws.

I'm going to invent a new portmanteau too. I'll call it "Twick." It's a twit, who's a dick, who thinks you can copyright single words.

Man, what an asshole.
