How much of Frank Zappa's quotation "Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read," breaks through to gaming journalism?

Mr. Kool

Perfect PR speak? That interview made me feel stupid and jejune until I realized how vapid it was beneath the bluster, pomp, ceremony, and self-congratulation. Maybe Fussbett has ruined us all with Tomonobu, maybe I shouldn't have spent my childhood reading "Who The Hell Does X Think He Is?" articles in Q, I don't know, but that was scary bad stuff. Kthor should actually hire Barbie on at that company. Then when Barbie does the interviews, and people later come to tour the studio or whatever, Kthor can look like a mellow intellectual instead of a propagandist.

Gaming journalism is shilling with no redeeming value, for companies that will fold, read by people taking a shit. That's what's so great about Caltrops: it's the best of gaming journalism, gaming journalism taken to its natural conclusion. We shill for ourselves, we're comfortable with debt, and we're all in the shitter together.
