    "Fail" is one of the oldest memes on the internet.

    And that FAIL site? Only one of the greatest sites ever.

    But the Twitterers just found out how clever it was to put # before Fail on their posts.

    Some background on its rebirth.

    Seems to me that some Slate reporter just found out about it. Other than the google search thing, he didn't really give any proof that it's resurging.

    Maybe it's just the place I hang out on the net, but I never knew it went away.

    Second Sunday edition is out today.

    If it's anything like the Thursday edition, there is very little local copy in it.


    As of last Thursday, they were still having delivery problems. I know people who had prepaid for the whole quarter and still haven't got a paper on time.

    Anything Jack Lessenberry writes needs to be taken with a grain of salt. He has no feel for any marketplace and has made a career out of working at smaller papers (Metro Times, O&E, Toledo Blade) and sniping from the shadows.
    When the man rips his staff for needing to work harder at a company awards banquet, to have the GM have him in an arm bar at his throat, you know he's a fuck up.
    While it might be a steaming pile of crap, it's that without Lessenberry pontificating.
     
  11. The last 10 inches of Lessenberry's article is devoted to World War II, the fall of the Berlin Wall and The Bomb. Say what you will about AnnArbor.com, but as steaming piles of crap go, his petty tirade is right up there.

    Lessenberry is a fucktard of the highest order.
