It’s official. Last week I wanted to be in one, now it’s lame.

Glee had a fantasy sequence where a cast member dances in a mall, complete with shakey video of people taking shakey videos. How meta! I’d show a video but as soon as they go up, some copyfighter takes them down.

When celebrities slap their faces onto the front and back of a marketing flash mob, then you know it’s over:

My niece, Emma H, will be on the country’s federally funded radio system communications wave, the CBC, tomorrow. She’ll be plugging her new website The Incongruous Quarterly, on the show Here and Now. If you’re around a computer at 3pm you should give a listen*.

*Choose “Ontario” folder, choose “Toronto” and a window will pop up. It’s on RadioOne.
