This might be a bit of a longer rant so prepare yourself. So here I was sitting down, having a nice lunch when suddenly popping up at me was this boring-looking article.
Now it’s important to note that Joanne’s asshat smile is gracing me and her name, in big bold letters is streaming across the top of the article.
Times Colonist Saturday, July 16th 2005 Page D1: Party Planning
Tutera hosts The Party Planner with David Tutera on Discovery Channel. You would hope that a man who shows endless creativity in his party planning might go for a little more variety in naming his book, but one can only suppose he’s looking for name recognition and branding inthe marketplace. Such is the insecure, self-promoting and self-indulgent word of the home media market.
I’ve bolded the most offensive parts.
Let’s start from the top. First, she doesn’t italicize the entire name of the show, making it sound like she’s repeating herself. “Tutera hosts … with David Tuterra.” It makes it sound like the Tutera brothers are hosting the damned thing.
Secondly, who the fuck is she to say his book lacks imagination? Look at your fucking title! “Party Planning”! Jesus fucking christ can you get more obvious than that?! Talk about calling the kettle black!
Then she has the nerve to boisterously drone on about the self-indulgent home media market…
Wait a second..
This, written in a DAILY NEWSPAPER? And who can angst about self-promoting when your POMPOUS SMILE IS PLASTERED OVER THE ARTICLE? I don’t see you writing anonymously, JOANNE WHORERLY!
Where the hell is the editor on this one???

I can’t believe this is still here. As noted in earlier comments: I still don’t like that picture either.

Haha calling her Joanne Whorerly. Burn. No that’s what I call being creative!

On a related note, I didn’t realize that Weasel was passionate about… book reviews about party planning?

Hahaha… Yeah this was an article I ported over from my old blog (hence the super old date). Perhaps one day I’ll do an interview with joanne whorerly and let her defend herself :p

I’m sure she’s itching to get interviewed by a random n00b on the internet.
