The royal we. Then "blogosphere." And then "transom." Kind of ironic to be complaining about others' writing in light of all this, no? Wow. The royal we. Then “blogosphere.” And then “transom.”

Kind of ironic to be complaining about others’ writing in light of all this, no?

My response was yes, surgery is needed. Artists are mostly agitators and abnormal barometers of the extremes of wealth/poverty, and the occasional winners of cultural admiration. A place at/on the operating table! But yes, quick, hurry e-flux will get us all there. MR / PARIS, FRANCE I remember seeing that come over the transom and thinking : An emergency room for art?

I'm guessing that Gutenberg got some doozies and that he complained about it too. Thanks, but FWIW I’m not the first journo to complain about spammy, poorly considered press releases.

Just the fact they're not pasted into the body of an email makes them WPR category, and also on websites as well. I can't believe I have to click pdf to see a press release on a website, but they do it... they do it! PS-- Brent, thanks for classing it up above. :) I nominate PDFs as Worst Press Release ever.
