Fred Armisen Must Die!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hatin on Betty, I just find it odd that *now* she is the toast of the town. A couple years ago she was just another old actress. Now she is an A-lister with some sort of cult-like following.

Just wondering where it all changed.

Someone had to replace Bea Arthur as the ultimate Cougar.

I think it's a combination of the fact that she's still taking on new projects, and the ubiquity of social networking tools. Ten years ago, you might talk about something like last night's SNL with a half dozen people around the proverbial water cooler. Now, any moron with a blog or Facebook account can post up "OMG!!1! Betty White talks about her dusty muffin!!!!" complete with embedded video and reach hundreds of people.
