"Ha ha! Your medium is dying!"

[Khartoum]

Really? Nobody's posted this? Nobody watches anymore? Have Buck and the Seinfeld loosers taken over in my absence? For shame!

"Nelson, there's being right and there's being nice." Ouch, man.

I alluded to it on another thread. It was too raw a wound for me to start its own thread.

But thanks for the salt pouring.

Re: "Ha ha! Your medium's dying!"

When you click to the home page of Pegasus News, the lead story -- the most interesting news in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area today, according to them -- is seven paragraphs about a chef leaving a group of restaurants where, apparently, what they cook best is pizza.

If print is dying, I doubt Pegasus News will be able to legitimately claim much of a role in killing it. In fact, I bet they die faster. Haha!

I thought there would be a thread as well. I couldn't stop laughing.

Nelson's a big jerk.

I almost choked when I saw it last night...

Great line...

 

[TyWebb]

Et tu, Nelson?

I was watching it with my kids and -- while I thought the line was funny -- I was a bit embarrassed. If I were 9 and thought my dad had a job that might not be there in a few years, I'd be worried.

it does look like a tasty pie, i gotta say that

Almost as funny as Nelson's line was the contempt the host of the debate had for the WaPo guy.

Awesome, awesome line. Rewound it four times and laughed just as hard every time.

Exactly. He sounded all fired up to have the guy from Slate.com and the woman from CNN and really bitter to have to hear what someone from the Washington Post would have to say.

Another great line was when the guy walked into Moe's Tavern and asked if he could connect to the internet and Moe sets him and then says, "I love you newsies because you lap up the sauce." I figured that fit my life and about half this board's lives.

I think that's the last part I saw before the big head of lies appeared on "60 Minutes." I've been at three shops, and it's been true every step of the way.

You can watch the episode online at www.fox.com. The part about newspapers is after the second commercial break:

I looked for it and didn't find it and then remembered Fox puts up all of its shows online.

 

[statrat]

Here is the scene. I still laugh each time I watch it.

When the demise of this industry filters down to the Simpsons, you know we're all seriously ****ed...

Saw that too.

"Chef" is a bit pretentious.

Guy'd be barely a line cook in most places.
