The Grand National Championships

May 6, 2008

Hey, we’ve all seen that Seinfeld Episode where George is in competition with a doppleganger for a ladyfriend?

Because you know what? It’s a lot like the battle between new media and old media.

Sure, most of those on both sides are the suavest of motherfuckers. But let’s be honest. There’s a lot of bad on both sides. Buzz Bissinger’s most salient point is not without its merit.

Whereas the Joe Average mainstream media loves salacious bullshit, Joe Average blogger loves to mock. And lest you think me a hypocrite, I will fully disclose mockery for the sake of mockery here, here, and the post below this one.

Sorry Poopfist.

But you know what? Outside of some poor West Virginia Power intern getting yelled at? We’re untilmately harmless. We’re not gonna be anywhere near the Blogfrica illuminati, and when we are actually so inclined?

Never mind. We’re never so inclined.

But honestly. We are them and they are us. Mostly harmless, mostly not trying to engage in the politics of personal destruction. And yet?

We’ll throw stones at the wrong targets. We’re bloddy idiots, those who talk in text form.
