From: blp Category: Art Date: 09 November 2007 Time: 01:48 PM Review: 'There's no denying it's a thing of beauty.' - Channel 4 News I wish people, especially journalists, would stop saying things like this. It's as 'beautiful' as an illuminated bar in a trendy nightspot. One of the people interviewed camping outside the Apple store remarked that the end of his long wait was something of a 'sad moment.' Yes. More than a moment, buddy. Conversely, there are two ads running at the moment, one for a credit card, one for a pizza delivery company, in which using the internet is associated, disparagingly, with being a geek. Does anyone actually still believe this? It's a bit weird. Old school, old media advertising guys spitting at a tide they know they can't roll back.
