I highly recommend this piece over at rakesprogress.com, about the nature of amateur criticism, and corporate-sponsored blogs, and all manner of interesting things. Here's a paragraph discussing (heaven defend us) ESPN's "Who's Now?", which grammar gives me the heebiejeebies.

Anyone with even a passing interest in the absurd should watch this daily series, which is probably the next best thing to being a fly on the wall of a particularly boisterous and sartorially splendid insane asylum. There's nothing quite like two sports journalists and an NFL-wide-receiver-turned-sports journalist trying to determine who, between Super-Bowl-QB Peyton Manning and elite-swimmer-cum-rather-dubious-Playboy-model Amanda Beard, has more "buzz" and then puzzle over how to convert units of "buzz" into units of "now."

Good stuff. Check ch-check check-check check it out. (tip o' the hat: The Millions)
