Slow News Day, Or Are We Totally Fucked?


About to close up shop for on this Thursday here at work and happened to check out WSJ.com to see if there was anything I needed to know before heading home. Umm.... apparently not.

I know it's still technically summer and everyone downtown wants to get a 24 hour head start on the Hamptons' weekend traffic and all, but seriously, WHAT THE FUCK? COUNTING CROWS?!?!

I know that Rupert Murdoch is hellbent on slowly mainstreaming the Journal from insular bizpaper to everyman freedom rag, but SERIOUSLY?? A COUNTING CROWS LIVE IN-SESSION ON THE WSJ FRONTPAGE??

I am beyond stunned. Try to imagine for a single minute the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Financial Times, CNBC.com, or FoxNews.com shilling news-less crap like this in the lead web-article slot. Even the NY Post reserves this slot for items theoretically construable as news. I can imagine that maybe ABC.com might run a piece like this, but it would at least be an interview with quasi-culturally relevant entities like Bono or the Jonas Brothers (I'm not joking).

What the fuck, dudes? Counting Crows?!? Weird.
