Ok. Before I get to the reason I am writing this post, I need to make a confession. Somehow, even after my last embarrassing Band of Horses dream, I had another one of those embarrassing hipster dreams. In this one, I was at a Guided By Voices concert, only instead of Robert Pollard, a very young David Byrne was the frontman. Also, the band was the band from Pavement. Instead of dancing around and standing up, David Byrne would only sit on the edge of the stage and sing with a single raised eyebrow.
Actually, this dream was more awesome than embarrassing. I’m actually bragging about what a cool mind I think I have right now.
But the point of the post is actually this. I got to write my first blog for our company blog today. You can find it here.The whole thing turned into a kind of a dry press release. Here’s the original intro to the entry after the jump.
Me: Hey! There’s a new site for Thirteen/WNET that you should check out!
You: What is it? canihazteeveepromgramz.com? With LOLThirteen web graphics?
Me: No silly! It’s SundayArts a new weekly onair and online arts and culture showcase!
All kidding and icanhascheezburger.com parodies aside, we’ve launched a new site to bring our new Sunday afternoon program, SundayArts, online, and there’s a lot of reasons to check it out.
So my question for you is this: Is PBS still necesary? Considering that LOLhumor is one of the only internet memes that can’t seem to be killed no matter how hard anyone tries, it is definatly relevant.
In Nazi Germany, the first book burnings were dedicated solely to burning coffee table books filled with cute puppy pictures. This small bit of censorship is eventually led to the fascist regime that forced that created such wartime horrors as queef cordon blue. See any parallels between that and censorship of LOLgraphix? Think about it.
