Following in the footsteps of Justin Halpern’s Shit My Dad Says, the popular Twitter feed and YouTube series Shit Girls Say is the latest Internet meme to be turned into a book.
Created by Toronto comics Kyle Humphrey and Graydon Sheppard, the book Sh*t Girls Say will be published by Harlequin in October, almost a year after the series hit the height of its Internet popularity. By December 2011, it was nearly impossible for anyone with a Facebook or Twitter account to avoid the hundreds of knockoffs the videos spawned (including “The Inevitable Sh*t Agents and Editors Say).
Today, the Shit Girls Say Twitter feed has over a million followers and the YouTube video channel has over 28 million views, although not everyone is a fan. Last year, Humphrey and Sheppard faced accusations of misogyny and sexism for their cross-dressing comedy.
