Remember currenttv… How long will it stay current?
Buried in all the news of ever increasing layoffs was an interesting piece on bnet's media industry column about pending cut backs at CurrentTV. AdScammer's will remember I wrote about this when it was launched by Al Gore a couple of years ago. It was during the height of the fucked up "consumer generated content" craze. Aimed at teenage douchenozzles, who's primary aim in life seems to be competing to see who can produce the shitiest MySpace page, everything was presented in three minute or less chunks. Obviously because the target audience had the attention span of a fucking gerbil. Now it seems management, including I imagine, Oscar/Nobelist Al, is going to drop its shorter UGC videos in favor of the more traditional 30 minute programs that have long dominated television programming across all channels. Mmmm… Conclusive proof that the next big thing invariably becomes the last little thing. Do these fucktard's ever learn anything?
I'll turn this place into fucking Florida, if it kills me!
