[ # ] Fidel Castro is Dead
August 24th, 2007 under Media


UPDATED: Or is he? There is no official word yet.

———–

This is one of the strangest news cycles I’ve seen.

My phone just vibed with a Twitter message from Rex Sorgatz in Seattle saying:

“for fuck’s sake. how can Perez Hilton be breaking the Castro-dead story?”

Sure enough, that does appear to be the case. Celebrity gossip blogs scooping a story on the death of a communist dictator? Wow.

And now many of you are going to be hearing this news for the first time from a buy typing with one hand while eating mangoes who earlier today wrote about cardboard furniture.

    you guys are just pissed cause someone else may have gotten the news out before you did….being a good reporter sometimes has nothing to do with what you always report….so sad for you isn’t it!

    Ed, typing with one hand eating a mango? Isn’t that going to sticky up your junk?

    Alice, calm down. Wow.

    Ang, I should have mentioned that the mangoes were dried mango slices. Not nearly as sticky as freshies.

    I get the impression that Alice isn’t a regular reader since her comment makes no sense in that context.

    “You guys,” Alice? Last time I checked, Ed and Rex’s blogs weren’t CNN.com.
