Totally Unlistenable

Hughes and Otto seemed to be having some sort of existential dispute in the top of the 6th.

The details of said dispute?

Are you kidding? I can barely remember my phone number since Oleg's visit.

I'm picturing this visit and I'm laughing.



A lot.

At Flagging Tribune, Tales of a Bankrupt Culture

Mr. Michaels, a former radio executive and disc jockey, had been handpicked by Sam Zell, a billionaire who was the new controlling shareholder, to run much of the media company's vast collection of properties, including The Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, WGN America and the Chicago Cubs.

After Mr. Michaels arrived (where several other senior colleagues were meeting at the InterContinental Hotel), according to two people at the bar that night, he sat down and said, "watch this," and offered the waitress $100 to show him her breasts.  The group sat dumbfounded.

Tribune Tower, the architectural symbol of the staid company, came to resemble a frat house, complete with poker parties, juke boxes and pervasive sex talk.

Should've gotten on board with ChicagoNOW, Kerm.

Not to worry. Randy Michaels says not to listen to the guy who did a lot of coke in the 80s.

Well, after reading Fork's latest missive in the Free Darko thread, I have to concur.

It doesn't end...

A top executive at Tribune Co., parent of the Chicago Tribune, e-mailed a company-wide memo Monday that contained links to off-color satirical videos, including one he labeled "Sluts" in which a gyrating woman appears to pour liquor on her bare breasts.

...

Abrams' memo spurred complaints to Tribune Co.'s human resources department from Chicago Tribune Editor Gerould Kern and others, upset at the sexual content. Abrams was not immediately available for comment.

"I thought it was offensive and I thought it was completely inappropriate to be sent out in a workplace setting to everyone in this company," Kern said Tuesday. "We've had some employees complain as well, and I took it to HR."

Kern also said he complained to Abrams.

One section of Abrams' memo included "pretty inspirational or at least interesting" videos he said he and Ray Brune, whom he described as executive producer of Tribune Broadcasting's "new morning concept," assembled for "'Bootcamps' with the new staff."

Among these were video newscast parodies from theonion.com. One was a panel discussion of the need for educators to accept that "students don't give a (expletive)." Another was a fake report on the crash of a bus full of reality-show contestants "spilling more than 2,000 pounds of slut" on the highway.

Abrams, in his e-mail to workers, in no way indicated these were not suitable for work.

I presume the Tribune HR department is just a writhing mass of anyone-fuckers.

RSS ALERT! RSS ALERT!

I turned on WGN 720 in the car awaiting the Northwestern game and was treated to the comedic stylings of cubbiejulie. She complained about curmudgeonly columnists complaining about bloggers. She also informed us she likes her arms, whatever that means, and trash-talked the male co-host about high school rivalries. They spent about 5 minutes talking about the Cubs and Quade and their lively debate reached the conclusion of "meh" along with Julie's spirited monologue on Quade's wikipedia picture. Goody.
