What's media hype and what's part of the zeitgest? Initially found very little of interest in the Lebron James' media tsunami, until I read Matt Taibbi's blog posting on the Rolling Stone website titled The Five Funniest Things About the "Lebron James: Global Superdouche" Broadcast. There are so many hilariously insightful paragraphs to pull. The whole piece is well the read:
I'm sure there's a larger point to make in all of this about how the insane pathology behind the Lebron spectacle (read: a co-dependent need to worship insatiable media-attention hogs gone far off the rails of self-awareness) is what ultimately is going to destroy this country and leave us goverened for all time by dingbat megalomaniacs like Sarah Palin. But for now I think it's important to just enjoy "The Decision" on a pure humor value basis, since we're unlikely to see anything that funny for a good long while.
