    WHAT A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT. This reminds me exactly of the type of pablum my boss prattles on about every single goddamn week.


    Let's go point by point, shall we?

    Point 1: lack of local competition made newspapers soft and weak. Well, if you're referring to newspapers, sure. But isn't one of this site's very tenets that newspapers are facing competition from outside the print industry. First it was radio, then it was television, then it was the Internet. Newspapers ALWAYS

    had competition. It's not a lack of competition. It's a conscious decision not to compete; to yield certain aspects of the industry to the other mediums. Newspapers going soft had nothing to do with competition or lack thereof.


    Point 2: Design directors made newspapers soft and weak. Are you saying that actually making the paper easier to read was a bad thing? There's not a layout man in the world who would say this.


    Point 3: Well, actually, I can't disagree with that one.

    While USA Today has its place, and I do read the free copies I get when I stay in hotels, I find it, um, ironic that a founder of USA Today is bemoaning newspapers for being soft and weak.

    @1.1.1.: I thought it was Star Wars. I read a book about the last dying gasp of movies in the seventies, from Easy Rider to Bonnie and Clyde, and it said the comics come to film killed the art dead as a ham.


    Same idea. Mindless spectacular dreck.

    Oh, poor Spike Lee! Coach! How mortifying. How common. But really, I saw Chris Kattan flying first class the other day. It's a sick, sad world when Chris Kattan can afford first class and Spike Lee cannot.

    Because the greatest gift a mother with the surname 'Hilton' could bestow upon her child would be to name her 'London'.


    Small blessings, I guess. Could be Gurgaon. Or San Diego Gaslamp.
