Extraordinary Renditions
It's hard to pick an especially awful sentence, but here's my favorite:
"Unlike polyglot MP3 blogs, mash-ups, and the iPod's shuffle function—all of which enable exhilarating collisions and unlikely harmonies between different sounds, reflecting a digital-era erosion of musical boundaries—cross-genre covers don't necessarily reflect anything so utopian."
Oh my.

The New Yorker: The Gerbil's Revenge
I find on the whole that if I skip articles written by Sasha Frere-Jones, I enjoy the New Yorker much more than if I read them.
As for Autotune, it's a tool. Autotune doesn't kill music, people kill music. Or something like that.

No to the skinny platform!
"4) The fact cannot be disputed that in society today, people are just waiting for an opportunity to sue major corporations."
I dispute that.
"Without question, people will be leaping at the opportunity file a lawsuit against the Starbucks Corporation for discrimination."
I question that.
"In this country, statistics show that more than two thirds of the population is... [more]

Up in Smoke?
There are all kinds of regulations on what you can and can't do in your own home/apartment/condo/cave/whatever. Playing loud music is the most obvious analogy. Or what if the person in the apartment next to you enjoyed taunting skunks?
. . .
No, really, it could happen.

Gross Misconduct
Here is part of the company's response:
"In a signed statement by Mr. Bruley that we have released, he states he heard what sounded like a domestic dispute at midnight and then two hours later at 2:00 a.m. he grabbed his shotgun and went to the scene. When he left his apartment armed, he had no indication a gun was in play at the scene. He did not follow procedures and contact 911 at any time that night. We do not condone residents or associates jeopardizing their... [more]

Here is the link to the employer's version of what happened:

If in fact Bruley signed a statement that says, "When he left his apartment armed, he had no indication a gun was in play at the scene" then that is pretty significant. It was 2 hours after the domestic dispute. The article says "When a neighbor screamed she'd been shot, Colin Bruley grabbed his shotgun, found the victim and... [more]

MISHA,
He explains in this post that,
This month - June, that is - is celebrated around the world as a month when people who normally review comic-books take a deep breath, stretch, and think, "Man, I have just got nothing left to say about comics for a while."
He also reviews a toilet plunger, so you might want to check that one out too.

You clearly are far superior to everyone else. Oh, and here's a bit of good advice I read once:
note: Help maintain a healthy, respectful discussion by focusing comments on the issues, topics, and facts at hand—not at other members of the site.

I guess if I were the only person here that found this humorous your comment might make sense.
But it would still be rude.

Because you don't understand what he wrote, and that's probably similar to what you felt when reading philosophy as an undergrad.
Just a guess.
