One reason our culture stinks is because the people think the status quo is fine. Peer pressure is one reason; another is the deluge of promotional junk from news hacks who have taught themselves to believe not only is the status quo good, it is better than anything that has come before it. We expect rock mu-SICK cri-TICS like Chris to run ads like this, praising yet another manifestation of the deadly status quo, publicizing acts that need a base gimmick to get attention (and we can be sure that musically speaking these acts stink -- and no doubt visually too); what surprises us is that it must appear on the Web site of a paper that once knew better. Then again, it's BROCCOLI's, and it's plain he doesn't know better about anything. Evidently he's gotten with the religion that we're sex-mad and need at least twenty different sex stories a day. But BROCCOLIS are always whining about how junk pushes out serious news. I guess it's okay when you do the junk peddling. How long can we his readers be happy to be ignorant?



A NEUHARTHISM OF THE WEEK AWARD TO BROCCOLI!
