So when did Ben —

That day. Ozwald Boateng found out [I'd been dropped from ABC] because the press people — everyone started jumping all over me. He doesn't even know I'm on Grey's Anatomy. He's never seen the show. But he hears the story and goes, ''Oh, wow, that sounds intense.'' He goes, ''You know what? I think you should meet a friend of mine named Ben Silverman.'' We've already had dinner, we talked about our plans, and by the time we wrapped up that meeting, it was around 10 p.m. So he calls Ben Silverman, Ben Silverman calls him back, and he says, ''Look, I have a friend of mine here, we're finishing our meeting, and I think he's someone you want to meet.'' And Ben says, ''Who?'' And he says, ''Isaiah Washington.'' And he says, ''My God! Yes, I definitely want to meet him.'' So we get to Mr. Chow's, where Ben was having a celebratory get-together about his new position as cochairman of NBC. I was brought to his table immediately, and he didn't know yet — I don't think he'd received it on his BlackBerry yet — but I think word got around the room that night and he finally figured out that I had been let go five hours earlier. And he brought out this cake, with a picture of himself as the peacock, and behind his head were the feathers of NBC. And below the cake were some talons, and under the talons was the symbol of ABC and the other networks. And he looks at me and says, ''You're those talons. Blow out the cake.'' And I looked at him and I said, ''You've gotta be kidding me. I just got here, I just met you, you're being very kind, but this is your party.'' And he says, ''No. No. You're coming to NBC. Blow out the cake.'' And of course, all the executives, the people from [Silverman's production company] Reveille, are all standing there looking at me, like, Hey, cochairman just said blow out the cake. You need to blow out the cake. So I go, ''Okay, I'll blow out the candles on your cake.'' And again, I just said, you know, This is a good night, Ozwald Boateng is taking care of me, being a great friend right now. It all feels great. But still, tomorrow, the sun has to come up, and I don't know what to expect. When the sun came up, there was a call from Ben Silverman to my agent, saying, ''We're very interested in talking to Isaiah about whatever it is he wants to do here at NBC. And we're very interested in having him meet with the creative team to be a part of Bionic Woman.''

snoball, Thursday, 19 February 2009 23:10 (fifteen years ago) link

And people say that us English eat crap... At least our cakes don't resemble excrement. However they may taste like it. And don't ask about desserts and especially not Spotted Dick...

What does the cake on the right say? "I am Maigret"?

i love the triceratops climbing the lava

Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 26 February 2009 13:59 (fifteen years ago) link

(xpost) Looks more like a goat or a ram. Also, isn't it a bit odd to send not one but two cakes to a racist? Unless they used laxative chocolate for the icing...

snoball, Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:02 (fifteen years ago) link

which one would you eat first?

quadratrillionaire (sunny successor), Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:10 (fifteen years ago) link

"you racist sheep"

i like keeping the mystery about the Fuck You/ You Racist cakes, though i helped make them and also ate one of them-- (the racist one). it was delicious.

ice cr?m, Friday, 27 February 2009 00:15 (fifteen years ago) link

don't?

I think I will not say anything, except that those cakes were based off of a single cake involved in a racist-customer incident at a toney Boston cake shop where a friend once worked.

the table is the table, Friday, 27 February 2009 04:52 (fifteen years ago) link

that should do it-- the rest of the details are only funny if you know the people involved.

the table is the table, Friday, 27 February 2009 04:52 (fifteen years ago) link

i think the saddest part about these cakes is not that the people are too stupid to get contextual clues from a note, but are actually so beaten down and broken by their cake-making jobs that they just robotically throw whatever on without thinking.

this one is extra sad because you know the people who wanted it were not only NICE people but people who really wanted the cake at a certain time

Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 28 February 2009 01:32 (fifteen years ago) link

Guys, i'm really thinking that a lot of these cakes are examples of shenanigans being pulled.
