Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crunchies
- andrewpbrett 17y agoCan you change the title to accurately reflect the content please? Stripping NSFW from the original makes sense but the complete rewrite does not.
- slapshot 17y agoTrying to capture both themes without being too complex; it's an interesting post that's hard to summarize in 85 characters.
- gojomo 17y agoThe original headline wasn't too bad, except for the confusing name of Paul Carr's TC column series ("NSFW"). I'd suggest... Paul Carr: Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crunchies ...because a key point is that it's Carr's irreverent op-ed, and not TC/MA speaking.
- slapshot 17y agoVery good point. Will do next time, thanks. I was hoping to loop in the CES tangent a bit because it's at least funny -- it's not only about the Crunchies.
- andrewpbrett 17y agoFine. But the original title did not mention the Crunchies at all; that was my main issue. I see it's been fixed.
- slapshot 17y agoThanks for the tip, happy to change it to hit it a little more squarely.
- ax0n 17y ago"Frankly why they’d willingly submit themselves to any of those horrors when they could simulate the entire experience from home simply by wiring a thousand dollars to Steve Wynn, dropping a tab of acid and then heading to Best Buy with a hooker." - That made cold beer come out of my nose. As douchey as TC editors are, I have to give them serious bonus points for their acerbic sense of humor.

- Xichekolas 17y agoIf I remember correctly, "NSFW" is the title of Paul Carr's 'column' on TC. So the NSFW in the title doesn't refer to the post, but to the whole series of posts by that author. Edit: According to his entry in Crunchbase, he also wrote a column for the Guardian called "Not Safe For Work" before being 'kicked out' and going to TC.
- jrockway 17y agoFYI: NSFW is the title of this regular column, not a commentary on whether or not the content is safe for work.

- thiele 17y agohaha, -3 for my lame Kanye joke, really?
