Apparently Blair's working on a new book called: "The Law of Extraction for Con men: Selling Hopes and Dreams for Fun and Profit"
What's The Law of Extraction?
It's a parody on the law of attraction, as portrayed in The Secret.
To read Blair's full explanation of the law of extraction go here.
Blair's hilarious book cover made me think about a company out in Santa Monica, California called JibJab.com which specializes in funny online videos, pictures and jokes.
Their productions are often satirical in nature poking fun at everyone from politicians, movie stars, pop singers and more.
You may recall that in 2004, JibJab.com released the internationally acclaimed "This Land" parody animation starring George Bush and John Kerry.
Within days of its release, This Land received millions of viewing requests from around the world. As the founders of JibJab.com, Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, described in their first national interview with Brian Wilson on FOX News, their small web server "spontaneously combusted"!
Furthermore (from the JibJab.com web site):
"The string of media attention that followed the release of THIS LAND was unprecedented. The Today Show, ABC News, Jay Leno, CNN, FOX, CNBC, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Variety, Los Angeles Times and hundreds of other media outlets covered the story......After seeing Blair's book cover parody, I contacted JibJab.com and asked them if they would take a look at The Secret and perhaps do a parody on it.
...By the end of the election season both JibJab animations had been seen more than 80 million times online on every continent, including Antarctica, and NASA even contacted the brothers for permission to send a copy of the animation to the International Space Station."
I will let you know how they respond.
If there's ever a company who could poke fun at The Secret and expose it for what it really is --a sci-fi hoax -- it would be JibJab.com
Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, if you're reading this, The Secret could be your next blockbuster hit.

Call me crazy, but something tells me they have more important things to do.
Dear Crazy,
There is a speck of profound truth in your statement.
Why would JibJab.com parody a sci-fi farce like The Secret, when there are more important farces to contend with such as politics, religion, American Idol, Anna Nicole, Brittany Spears and other pop culture phenomena which are so important to so many?
Then again, where would any of the satirists be without those who consider themselves more important than they really are?
I work at JibJab...great idea! I'll pass it along.
Hi Joey,
I am absolutely "thrilled" to hear this!
In addition to a fun and hilarious parody, JibJab.com would be doing an incredible service!
