I really wanted to say my piece on the whole Amy’s Baking Company drama and then move on, but then this happened and I would be doing all of us a disservice if I didn’t post it: Last night, Patton Oswalt made a joke about the now infamous restaurant on Twitter. Since this went down right around the time ABC was going full internet butt-monkey, they tried to outwit him. I repeat: The raging laughing-stocks tried to outwit one of the singly funniest comedians on the planet.
Well, the consensus seems to be Amy's Baking Company! Heading to the airport. Scottsdale — and relaxation — here I come!

@pattonoswalt AND WHY WOULD WE CARE ABOUT SOME LAME WEDDING DJ LIKE YOU. STOP USING OUR NAME TO TRY AND DRUM UP BUSINESS. YOUR JEALOUS.

(Oh yeah, we should probably mention: Patton’s Twitter bio lists him as “a former wedding deejay from Northern Virginia.” Apparently, some people didn’t quite get the joke.)

For the record, we have no idea if that’s the real Amy’s Baking Company, but you know what? It’s been kind of a boring week. We need this to be true. We need this so gawddamn bad.
UPDATE: So it turns out @AmysBakingCo is a just a parody account, the real Amy’s Baking Company is actually @bouzagloabc, if you’re interested!
