Also on Friday, GanNETt took great pains to pat itself on the back for having turned the SUPER BORE's commercial breaks into an inescapable marketing tool. We've said it till our face turns green from turning blue, what news hacks don't spin they sell, and USAOKAY!!!!!'s signature table pounding with a story it created almost single-handed has played a big part in the unholy matrimony of carnival barking and fake piety that surrounds these pulp piles nowadays. But then SOB started USAOKAY!!!!! as a tool to SELL the news, to sell it with color and gimmicks, and that it succeeded beyond all imagining explains the press's larger failure since.
