So Long Roger Fenton…

CreeEEEeaaak. Monster truck is haunted. By the Ghost of Contemporary art, some good old Conceptual Poltergeists and the spirit of Roger Fenton, original war photographer, who could never show the piles of dead bodies he saw while on site in Crimea and has returned to make us see that his photos were staged, a MOCKERY. He will not rest until the deceit is revealed to all. He has possessed the bodies of several artists. Out of nowhere a ramp has appeared like those of a carnival fun house and an elaborate fake wall cunningly disguised as a face to rock climb on. Oh how mischievous. It is said that late at night David Lamelas' Study of Relationships between Inner and Outer Space presses itself against the window in an effort to escape.

Page One: Inside the New York Times

The New York Times staffers are cocky bastards. No, they are an elite few of highly intelligent and talented writers (normal people are one or the other). No, they ARE New Yorkers, living, breathing, walking, talking, writing, personified for all the world to see. A New York Times writer would never be at a loss as how to describe a New York Times writer. God damn it. They stride around like the chosen few. It's because they know that everyone is just paraphrasing and quoting from their articles, isn't it. Or because everyblogy wants to be them (funny?). Or is it because they have the juicy news/emotional hook? Or maybe it's just that working in such an impressive building makes them feel grande enough to impress the world. Or because now they have their very own documentary. Do not go see it. You'll only feed their egos.
