New Year's Day

Reading like any other dried-up old rag, the Toronto Star predictably trotted out a list to fill up space in its "Arts" section, stating a number of things that its editorial staff felt ought to be banned in 2005.

Number 6 on the list reads, "Blogging by John Smith of Cowpoke, Wisc., and thousands just like him, detailing their boring lives, inane observations and irrelevant interests."

Granted, 98% of the online journals you'll find on the big ol' world wide web aren't worth wasting even a fraction of a millasecond scrolling through, but it struck me as insanely hilarious that The Star actually felt it was in some way behaving as a barometer of "cool" by thumbing its nose at the various fads of 2004.

If anything, it just made the Star seem even more hopelessly uncool.
