Yahoo hooks up with Current TV
(The Technology Chronicles)
-
Now she is training her satire on the Internet, and all the "hypocrisy and irony" found there. "The Internet is like holding a mirror to ourselves," said Smithberg, who will be working out of Current's China Basin headquarters.What got me about that quote about the "hypocrisy and irony" of the Internet is that it came from the mouth of a corn-fed TV producer. A TV producer who's planning to trawl the Internet and turn what she finds into, yeah, that's right, more television. And pop culture will eat itself! Maybe she was trying be funny when she talked about the hypocrisy and irony of the Internet, but if you think about it, since the brightest idea she has is to televise content found on the Internet, she's really just being hypocritical and ironic. We already have the "Boob Tube!" Do we really need a "Boob Net" too? Well, if TV producers flock to cyberspace that's what we're going to get. Hell, it's already happening faster than a muhf*cka can say YouTube! Oh boy.
