Clueless white guys

Layers of irony: If you're part of the metablogging scene, you've undoubtedly seen John Dvorak (who I'm not going to justify with a link because he wasn't even entertaining back when his hook was randomly bolding words in his column) look stupid taking apart The Cluetrain Manifesto. Which is pretty amazing, 'cause Cluetrain is some of the most puerile Pollyanna "new economy" speak out there; to go and make an ass of yourself critiquing it can only be a desperate cry for attention from someone in the death-throes of irrelevance. But while looking at the various sputtering from both sides I saw that Rage Boy says that Michael Moore's Stupid White Men is #1 on Amazon. You want your refutation of both Moore and Cluetrain, in one entry? It's right there, baby.

reading that phrase is the best thing that's happened to me all day.
