I'll have to look into his works more. Beautiful imagery, or maybe it's just because it's really late here. "In one sneeze so mighty as to be observed from Mars." That's great. Makes me smile :) Thanks for sharing! Nice find! I’ll have to look into his works more. Beautiful imagery, or maybe it’s just because it’s really late here.

Great news. That's going on to a hand-written list to be kept in a bed-side drawer. Herzog made a film about Kaspar Hauser! Great news.

Are people that discerning though? The old "Any publicity is good publicity" might just trump all your arguments. Another important point is that a regular news outlet is worse than useless if you don't have regular news and an individual familiar with news+words+subejct matter ready to back it up. Arguably people have no taste, an inability to find fault with corporate entities, and no great reasoning power. Having a vacuum shoved under your nose with a neon label marked 'valuable content' is empirically bad news. I don't know if this was the case here, but it's a good one to crack out in similar situations (i.e. pseudo-marketing exec comes out with 7-year-old's English coursework as serious-brand-initiative).

It's not O.K. to settle for the status quo — we have department stores for that. Cheers, M! Brilliant post, and I may have to steal that saying of yours.
