Eugene David
...The One-Minute Pundit

Saturday, April 21, 2007


The Newsrag of the Zeitgeist engages in the print equivalent of the brisk rubbing of hands -- we wouldn't expect anything else with the synergistic partner of....well, it makes PEOPLE NEWSRAG look distinguished -- but an earlier "Web exclusive" says it all:

The Sensitive Art of Marketing After a Tragedy

Sensitive?

P. S. Before that Zeitgeist's vice-president and show-biz publicity chief had this to say -- which we thankfully missed, lest it make us angry:

If you were looking to build a case for the sheer pointlessness of 24-hour cable-news networks, Monday afternoon’s coverage of the mass shooting at Virginia Tech would’ve been a great place to start.

And how pray tell, Devin, did the rest of your biz avoid pointlessness? Or did it?

It’s a sly commentary on the surreality of movie violence—but viewed from another, more alarmist, perspective, one could just as easily bash it for glorifying bloodshed.

Editor-pleasin' DEVIN wins a NEUHARTHISM OF THE MONTH AWARD -- and is an instant finalist for our annual honors! Go for it! We know you have adjectives and Machiavellianism to spare!
