Old media in patronising outburst

How not to go about getting your book favourably reviewed.

  Spoof links

An inauspicious time to revive Meeja but as a place of record I thought it was worth mentioning the Age of Stupid spoof of the FT, which came out before the broader demo/march on Saturday 28 March, ahead of the predictable spectacle (from both protestors and police) on Wednesday: visually accurate, funny and far more readable than the real thing. Start at the dog jumping over the sheep and work down.
As bruce says, echoes of the Yes Men's New York Times. I should also say for the record that in the last few months I went not so much to the darkside as to the shocking pink, in a bid to work on some interesting world news and events (with an unfortunate surfeit of neoliberal and high-cap solutions for neoliberal and high-cap problems thrown in) and avoid the sectoral niches and love of micromanagement and personal development at the place before.  ¶ 8:36 PM
