    Did anyone else get the "Pimmel über Berlin" (Penis over Berlin) pun? It riffs on "Der Himmel über Berlin" (The Heaven over Berlin) title of that famous Wim Wenders film aka Wings of Desire.

    No? Just me? OK, I'm a dork.

    Now why doesn't the NYT do a Murdoch mural like that on the side of their building? These German are taking us to school on how a real editorial feud is handled.

    That's what trying to conquer the world does to a country. You wind up with cocks on the sides of buildings.

    Also, read between the lines on the GMA item: The staffers are concerned about the show's basketball team as much as anything else.

    Right, because cobras have hoods, just like European wieners.

    In reply to Rumors: Staff Shuffles at New York Post, Sports Illustrated
    You wanna save Sports Illustrated? GET RID OF TERRY MCDONNELL. The guy sat at Esquire watching circulation fall through the floor, his only real talent being to spend ungodly sums of money on basically nothing and for that he ends up being promoted to SI? I swear to god, the best way to save every magazine out there? Bag the over-paid, over-spending captian of the ship and keep everyone else's jobs.
    Tossing McDonnell is perhaps the best example of how this would save the industry.

    @manchops: Terry actually "sat at Esquire" doing just the opposite: publishing dozens of literary icons, many of whom are now in the canon thanks in part to Terry's faith in them. Talese, Mailer, McInerney, Salinger, Hunter S. Thompson, Joan Didion, Cormac McCarthy...are you kidding me?

    Under Terry's editorship, Esquire was an ASME finalist SEVEN times. Just try comparing Esquire's (well-documented recently by DiGiacomo in VF) pathetic fiction to the work Terry accomplished back then.

    @Immaculate:
    1) Jann promoted Terry because he earned that ME position.
    2) "Personal habits"? You're actually chastising someone who worked at Rolling Stone under Wenner in the early 80s for having fun?
    3) Jann and Terry, to this day, are close friends. If Terry stole anything from Jann, it was a series of classic Hunter S. Thompson anecdotes due to the fact that HST adored Terry and wasn't so fond of Jann.
    4) Nick writes his own novels. Terry is (and will proudly admit it) an editor, not a writer. And an effing legendary one, who works seven days a week, has completely revived si.com (who do you think oversaw the CNN partnership?), and most importantly, a gentleman.

    Jealousy doesn't justify idiotic, ignorant bashing of someone you clearly know nothing about.

    Finally, she will get paid for SPECIFICALLY being funny and nonsensical, instead of being paid inadvertantly for the same thing.

    Why doesn't Dobbs just tattoo the flag onto his face and have all his suits sewn from the stars and stripes?

    Miniter's lawyer is Larry Klayman, who kept on suing Bill Clinton. This one has all kinds of crazy going for it. #media

    I won't be convinced that Time is at all serious about their brand of stupid unless they name Glenn Beck Man of the Year. Even "The Angry American" won't cut it. #media
