Morrie the Toupee Salesman

I’ve been creating a database of digg press - and thought I would share some tidbits. This article in the Guardian just brought me to a complete stop. Not because of the usual overblown hype, but because of the grade-school like prose. From the baffling headline “Digg, Kevin Rose” the article just goes downhill, eventually translating Business Week’s $60 million valuation of Kevin to “Rose made $60m in the space of 18 months, though so far he has resisted offers to sell the company.” Why would he want to sell something that’s paying him $40 million a year?

One can only hope that Oliver Burkeman was an intern, or has already been let go for impersonating a journalist.
