Operation Global Media Domination: The Steve Jobs and Longhorse Situation

First of all: Steve Jobs is not dead.

Second: Bloomberg posted, then pulled, his obituary today, Gawker picked up on it, posted about it, and into the comments thread on that post I dropped a link to my over Steve Jobs’s dead body post, which has subsequently rocketed to the top of the stats page off of that third-hand high. This has, in turn, lifted the Steve Jobs=Cthulhu post to near the top of the Top Posts, as Steve Jobs surfers see the name in the sidebar and click. And a fine post it is, too (36 painstakingly collected links if I recall correctly)

Third: for no reason I can determine, the Longhorse post is suddenly getting a lot of attention, which suits me perfectly, as I consider it one of my best. And you will, too, once you’ve read it.

    Yeah, I like the picture of the long dog myself. As for the evil/genius as Wired magazine calls him, I don’t think those kind die.

    Someone on Gawker said it was sad because when this Steve dies there will be no upgrade.

    Google “Texas Long Eggs” and you’ll track back to a post or two that discussed whether it was a hoax or not.

    Who would Rain dig up as a suitable replacement for Steve?

    Yeah, I mean in the world of billionaires there’s not a raging snotload of hotness going around. Don’t know if anyone else has noticed…

    But what about Oprah and she’d um, oh… I didn’t read the whole thread. Nevermind.

    Not. That. Desperate.

    When you are a billionaire the last thing people notice is your hotness. Unless, of course, you’re Rain.

    Yeah, that explains Larry Ellison’s track record. I mean, if I were gonna pay for a new face, it wouldn’t be that one.
