Media Good Morning Death of Print!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHEW!

(Oh my dear God it's not funny and the world is going to heck in a handbasket and my morning oatmeal tastes like ashes and somebody hold me please.)

Anyway, watch this funny video while the paradigm shifts.

Hey new media: We block your revenue source also. Eat it, you uppity shits.

The mercury's site is like the one site whose ads I don't block. Only because they have local ads.

Also, from the Nation a few weeks ago - The Death and Life of Great American Newspapers: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090406/nich…

Homey spoke at U of Portland in February, too.

I block the mercury ads because they're festooned with ads for strip clubs, lingerie shops and fetish depots. It's stupid, I know, but I can't take chances when uptight folks are peering over my shoulder. ++ obligatory "at least not in this economy" qualifier

Has everyone noticed how in the Spartacus lingerie ad - the one with the blond-haired woman wearing a bowler hat - that she has no belly button?
