I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
I said...
Bush presidency: FIERY WRECK!
Atrios, you're EEEEEEEEEE-VEEEEEL!
Hey! I did some gratuitous OSM bashing too!
this whole thing makes me giggle like a leeeeeetle guuuuhrl.
who says blogs are haphazard and lack focus?
You really think the concept of shape, text and color isn't reused constantly?
Gratuitious Open Sores bashing is all well and good, but nothing beats a screwed former partner with an ax to grind.
Choice passage:
One of the things that became very apparent to me very early in the life of Tulip Advertising was that there was going to be no shortcut to attracting advertisers. The two of us who actually had business experience (myself and our other Central Ohio partner) knew it was going to be months of telephone calls, meetings and presentations – one ‘dog and pony’ show after another – to nail down a handful of high-quality advertising clients. We also knew that we could only grow that client base using a methodical and continuous sales process. My impression from Day One was that Roger truly believed that the sheer brilliance of our idea would have advertisers knocking at our door sans much effort. You tell me which vision sounds realistic, and which one doesn’t.
He shoots - he scores!!!
More from Dennis the Peasant:
...Pajamas Media doesn’t really have any sort of working document that actually lays out the strategy of the company in any sort of meaningful way. That means no time lines, no task lists, no structure and no accountability. I think it safe to say this assumption is bolstered by such things as the steady stream of missed deadlines, lack of meaningful communication, and the general sloppiness of the contracts tendered. Let’s face it; they announced Pajamas Media back on April 29th. Check your calendar for today’s date. Think about that for a second. It’s been half a year and nothing’s really happened. Could it be these guys are winging it? If there ain’t a strategy or a plan, how can there be any sort of truly organized, systematic effort to attract advertisers?
I wouldn’t have thought OSM was French - check Alstom Transport: http://www.transport.alstom.com/home/

More on Dennis the Peasant: turns out he was forced to "out" himself in the face of "anonymous" attacks by Roger Simon's wife.
These brownshirts do love to eat their own, don't they?
Hey! Look down your toilet when you flush. THAT'S the new OSM logo!
They're giving themselves a swirly!
iLarynx: Tbogg "went there" almost a month ago.
And, Vanuatu called. They want their flag back.
OSM says:
And where faceless, "objective" editorial boards once handed down opinions and endorsements, bloggers sound off, the numbers on their public sitemeters lending them unassailable credibility as voices for the rest of us.
How is that any different than a newspaper publishing its subscription numbers?

Ooh, do tell . . .
PARODY site!!
we need parody site!!
Somebody build a Parody site with one of those freebie wiki.
OSAMA (Open source And Media Analysis)
Compete nicely with OSM.
They also stole the NPR logo for their BLOGJAM:

Duncan, you do realize that you and all us good readers are going to make OSM a success all by ourselves, just laughing at them, don't you?

Open Source YEAH RIGHT
More to hate about swirls:

I'd love to bash these dickheads for every single thing they do. I'd love to have videotape of Charles Johnson masturbating to Spyrogyra while wearing a burka and clicking through online photos of adolescent Palestinian whores.
But that logo isn't much of a rip. Shapes like that are pretty much 'open source.' If you want a fun exercise, go through all the logos with a swoosh a la Nike or a 'circle with horizontal blinds' a la AT&T.
Dude, where is Atrios's desperation?
