Dear Dan Ackerman,
While any attempt to tear down the wooden block walls of the fortress playhouse that the Times’ Circuits section editors slopped together using their own globbing drool for mortar is A-okay with me, perhaps it would be best if you were not to – on the same front page that holds a copy of your site’s placental press release – concede that the editors of the very same publication you have sworn to mildly dress down have, in your third week, “finally scooped” you. While I can infer from your posts that you have chosen to roast them with satire that treads the knife-thin middle path between Readers’ Digest and barbiturates – sort of a ‘Life in These United States’ for the date rape generation – it would be more dramatic for the three or four of us who plan to visit you every Thursday (and perhaps on Monday to reread, if you publish a big print version) if you weren’t to wave an off-white spittle rag so early.
Thank you for your time, and may I commend your amazing success in creating such a subtle parody of the Circuits section itself, so perfectly aping their threadbare prose and spasmodic fits of metaphor to highlight your overall ironic message.
You’re right, Mr. Ackerman. Circuits really could be worse.
Sincerely,
A Fan
P.S. Did you see today’s Circuits spread on “U.S.B. Flash Drives?” I think the editors ate each others’ paint chip vomit! LOL INTERNET!
