Comments on: Quote of the Day, 31 January 2008 http://stilgherrian.com/media/qotd_20080131/ All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris. Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!

Ledger was, as I said in one of the previous pieces, a respected actor with an in-control personal life. Steve Irwin was a loud joke, and so attracted loud jokes in hsi death. The same could be said for Kochie -- there's already a sense of self-deprecating humour about him. @jaron: I think that’s precisely why all the jokes about Heath Ledger have been so lame.

And gee My Space and Facebook I cant tell the difference between them myself (when I'm blindfolded, in a cave, with no internet connection).

In the bit I saw he was asking how Facebook compared to MySpace. And in case you are wondering how it compared: Blasina said its pretty much the same. Well, something along those lines. A few screen grabs showing how to share photos of your children at the beach were shown, but I didn't hear whether they bought in a potential predator angle. Woulda been a great opportunity. Quality assurance doesn't apply when a story is about technology, not even at very high Koch level standards. Jason, he was. In the bit I saw he was asking how Facebook compared to MySpace.

Since I doubt Koshie would let this slip through his tight quality assurance net for interview standards. Out of interest, was Koshie there?

It's possibly his worst shirt and comment to date. Even worse than his shirt with swordfish dancing on hibiscuses.
