I'm sure most of you don't remember the first satellite dishes but we used to get broadcast from all over, the Phillipines, Japan, European countries. We used to sit and laugh at them because we couldn't understand them and the production was usually so shoddy it made for an hour or so of giggles. Also it was an ego trip. 'Yea man, my dish picked up Tibet man.' Little did we know that these broadcast(s) may actually be worth some money someday.
Everybody gets older and graduates college (or not) and even though we signed up, we don't go there and we don't use it. Bye Bye. I just get annoyed and feel spammed anymore because all I get are join your whole family. Treading on dangerous ground there. I tend to react negatively whenever someone wants to mess with my family, my alarms go off. You stay away from my family Facebook or we will take care of you and send cousin Guido by to visit. You remember Guido, my little friend.
I read the article also. It sounded like a passion of the moment statement. You know how you exclaim things when the muse hits you. Or maybe you have never had that creative experience. Of course the press, no matter who they are, have to sensationalize it.
Come on Karl! Give the Jono dude a little break here. His comment about reinventing sounded like a broad statement to me . Kinda like we are part of. Of course as a journalist you had to use your line ('is a steaming pile of hyperbole') and be offensive. I guess that's earning your cash. It reminds of the Beatles being more popular than Jesus statement. The press was all over it simply to create a fuss and sell papers.
