Shitmydadsays Lands Book Deal
“Having to move back home at the age of 28 almost universally signals defeat. Images of an unemployed, not-so-well-adjusted George Costanza character from “Seinfeld” might spring to mind. In Justin Halpern’s case, moving from Los Angeles to his parents’ house in San Diego planted the seeds for a Twitter page that’s quickly growing into an Internet phenomenon, attracting offers from literary agents and book publishers. Once a day, Halpern, 28, posts a memorable quote that his dad, Samuel, had said the day before. More than 200,000 users subscribe to get their daily dose of Sam… Sam, the unlikely star of the show, isn’t really trying to be funny. Until last week, Sam had no idea his youngest son had been broadcasting his anecdotes for the world to read. But you could write a book about Sam. Indeed, Justin has already signed with an agent and is considering offers from book publishers.” w/ photos
