My love for Will Arnett runs deep. I fell for him over a year ago when I watched Arrested Development for the very first time. I’d seen him in a dozen things before that, but my legs didn’t fully part until I met his character Gob on my 22-inch flat screen. You see, laughter is the key to my vagina; therefore Arrested Development is my kind of porn. Aside from the fact that he makes me laugh my panties off, he also inspires me to be a funnier writer and person.
So when I saw Will Arnett’s frantic self-promoting tweets last October, begging fans to help him save his (then) new show Running Wilde, I Twittered to action with the following:
Of course immediately after, in true Mely fashion, I hastily tweeted something to the tune of “If @arnettwill responds to my last tweet I’ll show Twitter my boobs #BoobiesToSaveRunningWilde”, because never in my life did I think Will Arnett would take the time to read my tweet, let alone respond to it.
But then he did… by not only retweeting my Nielsen box tweet to all of his fans, but also with this:
At that moment I:
1) exploded with joy over the fact that WILL FUCKING ARNETT had noticed me
2) began to curse my phone as an hour long string of notifications went off letting me know I had over 150 new followers who were eager to see my boobs
and
3) realized how truly fucked I was that I now had to show Twitter my breasts because I am a woman of my word, and my tweets
I had to think fast. While I certainly didn’t want to expose myself to the internet or become a pornographic legend, I also didn’t want to be known as the girl who cried boob. And so I did what any woman who had jokingly promised to tweet her breasts but really wasn’t ready for the world to see her nipples would do: I used my bacon.
Unfortunately for the men who are now furiously typing in the above link, but fortunately for me, I deleted my infamous #BoobiesToSaveRunningWilde picture from Twitpic after it had been up long enough to prove I have some massive lady balls.
Here is a not-so-reasonable facsimile of what the picture looked like:
What did Will Arnett have to say in regards to my breast efforts to save his show?
For the next few weeks I was dedicated to getting as many fans as I could to watch FOX in order to save Running Wilde. I loved the people behind it and Will Arnett THAT much.
Sadly even my breasts couldn’t save it from being cancelled.
At some point during my #BoobiesToSaveRunningWilde campaign Will Arnett started following me, and still is. He’ll probably never realize how much it means to me. Every once in awhile he indulges me by responding to one of my desperate tweets for attention from him, and my heart sings. Amy Poehler is one lucky lady. And so am I.
Love Will Arnett as much as I do? Then make sure your calendar is marked just like mine for the premiere of his new show Up All Night, Wednesday, September 14th at 10/9c on NBC.
And don’t worry, Will. My crying baby pasties are ready if need be.

This is a love story if I’ve ever heard one.

I have my fingers and toes crossed that Will and Amy are polyamorous. Or that they’ll at least invite my breasts and I to dinner someday.

[...] Love Will Arnett? Love AT&T wireless? Need a ridiculously hot lawyer to plead your case for an AT&T 4G Smartphone? If you said yes to any of those questions then you’re going to love AT&T’s campaign with Will Arnett “You’ve Got A Case”. [...]
