I’ve been generally trying not to just comment on news stories like every other blogger on the planet. And by this point, I’m pretty much used to reading stupid, sensationalist stories about hacking/hackers in the mainstream media, so those barely even register. I should also be accustomed to the fact that Fox News is going to hate on everything Obama does for the next 4-8 years.
However, I was totally unprepared to encounter these two immutable principles of journalistic incompetence exemplified together in a single article, like some horrible Orthrus of fail.
Twice the facepalm for twice the fail.

So I’m here to shamelessly plug Monochrom’s USA tour. As previously discussed in this blog, Monochrom are awesome. Anyone in America these days should make an effort to see them. I sincerely doubt it will cost much, if anything, since Monochom’s relationship with capitalism could generously be described as ‘conflicted’.
I was also thinking it would be quite amusing if any of my American friends who attend would bring some sort of small, strange gift to give to Johannes Grenzfurthner. You’ll recognize him as the loud, singing one wearing all black.
Examples of the kinds of things he might appreciate are: Chick Tracts, Burger King body spray, historical memorabilia from the German American Bund, a Kinko’s-bound collection of applied office art works (a.k.a. bored doodles) stolen off the desks of your coworkers, or Sarah Palin campaign buttons. But use your imagination, many of you are more creative than I am. If anyone goes to see the show, be sure to come back here and comment about it.
