Gannett's "Center of Excellence"

Centre of Excellence? Wow.

I wonder if they have a Mission Statement or Vision Statement?

 

Next step: Moving their copy desk to the Bangalore Center for Adequacy

 

And then they'll outsource it to a unemployed preps writer in Kansas.

 

Or Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good

 

I might have reason for a lawsuit here. I've always called my crotch the EPICENTER OF EXCELLENCE.

 

So, let me get this straight, Gannett has:

Information Centers (not newspapers)

Centers of Excellence

and Regional Toning Centers (which is absolutely a fucking nightmare)

And a previous publisher at our local Gannett shop once told me that Gannett was not "trying to reinvent the newspaper"

 

Does the Ghost of George Orwell do all their naming?

This is double-plus ungood.

 

Yer just saying that because we've always been at war with Oceania

 

Center of Excellence. What a stupid name.

I liked what the Waterbury Republican-American has/had. The news clerks were called "The Yes Desk."

 

You think the staff is going to have "I wake up in the morning and piss at the Excellence Center" T-shirts?

 

I think they'll be wearing them when they get up, but have no idea how they got on their bodies...
