Schooling

Bambi was my favorite movie when I was eight. I used to watch it over and over again and drove my parents mad; they had to replace the tape (betamax-we were so cutting edge) and our rewinder because I wore them out.

Aside from Bambi's mother getting killed (what sort of twisted story developers did they hire back then anyway?), the scene I remember most is the one where Thumper clears his throat and says, 'If you can't say something nice...don't say nothing at all'.

Recently, I have been somewhat zealous in my commentary towards Iavarone and Waldrop; I'm good with that, they are after all, wankers. What got me thinking about Thumper though was a recent exchange I had in the comments on Superfecta's latest post.

She was asking for ideas that the new marketing summit members might take with them to Vegas and in a deluded moment of wit, I took a cheap shot at one of the posts. The suggestion itself was pretty damn good. I didn't hear Thumper clearing his throat until I hit the Publish Comment button.

I was quickly and adroitly cyberspanked.

So in that vein I have decided to turn over a new binary code. No more disparaging remarks about Mr. Waldrop and Mr. Iavarone. No more nasty comments about the industry leadership. What loads from these bits and bytes henceforth will be nothing but positive and uplifting commentary. Shiny, happy people and all that.

I make it 6 to 5 that it is less than a week until I rip into Assbag and The Imbecile...Dammit.

Starting now!
