\n Paper Round: The Indo’s Response?<\/a>
\n
\n Originally uploaded by Editor_Tupp<\/a>.

For all our education and enlightenment, I thought I’d highlight this slightly peculiar article which appeared in Thursday’s Irish Independent. (brought to our attention by Travors<\/a>. Many thanks.) <\/p>\n

You might not have spotted it, as it is tucked inside a huge piece of advertorial for the Irish Financial Services Regulator. <\/p>\n

The text flows in a Joycean manner, phrases emerging from the dense verbiage like nightmares from fog.
\nRe the internet; ‘Skeptics say most of what’s there is rubbish but actually quite a lot of it is porn.’
\nRe blogs: ‘the blog is a doodle, something done to pass the time but which does not demand public display’. At one stage even Pat Ingoldsby makes an appearance. (Pat’s books adorn my shelves and I always liked Pat’s Chat, so its good to see him back in business.)<\/p>\n

It ends on a wintery, sinister note. Shades of solstice sacrifice are invoked. A moral becomes clear. <\/p>\n

‘A piece of advice to bloggers: Don’t post the equivalent of a colleague’s head into which an axe has been embedded onto your blogsite. Oh, and get a life’<\/p>\n

So sayth the Irish Independent.

\nUpdate:<\/strong> I can’t believe I missed quoting the best line: “Ever since they put the Internet on computers…”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paper Round: The Indo’s Response?
