What a fuckin' crock of shit. The only way to survive is to lie. Period.
Those that don't lie, those that have talent, that live truthfully get
eaten alive. Ask NBC, ask Viacom. Good idea's and talent delivered in
painful truthfulness is for the birds. Period.
And you joe should know that better than anyone. Ms has built a large
empire buy sending out "press releases" before a product in many cases even
exists. That is called a lie. And it hurts, and makes other people lose
their business, companies spend millions, and people get layed of. But it
works and puts you on top. Period.
Whomever this loser is, and I'm guessing he is a Canadian just by his
"intellectualization and aestheticizing of
principles" can come over every Wed. and mow my lawn.
