The reality is that online publishing requires massive amounts of content, and that filters right through to all types of readership. Pictures are an essential part of that content - especially a series of pics like this. Even though things like plastic owls have been in use for years, there will be millions out there who have no idea that this scenario exists. It's a perfect story for the Mail. This sort of thing doesn't come under 'news' so much as 'light entertainment'. But the umbrella is news, so yes it is! I wouldn't say it's a sad commentary on today's media, rather a commentary on today's online society that devours content. The media merely fulfils a role in providing the content for that meal! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
