See Movie, Buy Shirt: “In the past two weeks, Dr. Ben Marble of Gulfport, Mississippi, lost his house, saw his wife give birth by flashlight, and became an instant celebrity for telling Vice President Dick Cheney to go fuck himself.

…The incident, remarkable for an administration renowned for screening its audiences, was not only captured live on CNN but replayed on numerous websites and blogs, and even earned a Daily Show screening.

Marble, an emergency room doctor and indie rock musician who looks as though he were torn from the pages of Spin, said he doesn’t consider his actions heroic. ‘A lot of people are saying that. I was just mad and I lost my temper,’ he said.

Still, Marble hasn’t exactly been shy about getting his 15 minutes, either. HurricaneKatrinaSucked.com, a website Marble created to post pictures of the wreckage of his home and neighborhood, quickly sprouted a ‘Go fuck yourself Mr. Cheney’ link, complete with links to the Daily Show clip, a Cafe Press store selling ‘Go Fuck Yourself Mr. Cheney’ merchandise, and two eBay auctions, one selling permission to download his original 30-minute video for $20.” (Wired News)
