The Salon of Shame got a small mention in a Newsweek/MSNBC article: Sharing the Shame, On Stage - Newsweek Society. One small issue of contention: the article seems to suggest that both Cringe and the Salon of Shame are somehow affiliated with Mortified. That’s not true. Cringe and the Salon are both independent events. While all three events are obviously related and similar in structure and theme, the three are in no way connected.
