Mediamass and their outrageous articles

[cynd1231]

We've all see the crap that Mediamass deems appropriate to put out there and fortunately we all know what a total crock their 'breaking news' is. I came across this one a few minutes ago -- best laugh I've had in days.

I had tears rolling down my face as I read this paragraph:

The American musician has an estimated net worth of $275 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Schmit Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Oakland Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderschmit - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Timothy B.) and a fashion line called “Timothy B. Schmit Seduction”.

An endorsement deal with CoverGirl? Fat Schmit Burger? Perfume and a clothing line? What do these people smoke when they stay up all night dreaming up this crap?

Yeah - this is more of their usual - I'm sure they think it's amusing, but, to me, it's just a bunch of crock.

BTW cynd - I moved this to Timothy's forum since it is just about him.

. I nearly spat out my Dr. Pepper when I read this! Wouldn't the vodka thing be more appropriate from Glenn since, from what I read in the Pebble Beach threads, he's fond of screwdrivers? (Vodka and orange juice).

Timothy B Schmit Seduction? OMG

I've seen this type of article for Randy a few yrs. back I believe his net worth was estimated at 570 million. I agree the people writing these articles are truly smoking something.

I fell for one a while back.... 'Eagles Don Henley is to be a father again'. I've seen the 'Joe Walsh is dead' headline dozens of times.

They write imaginary stuff to catch news seekers and slip in the 'Update, This story seems to be false' disclaimer by the article.

It's morally reprehensible but guarantees them a lot of hits.

I also seen their story about Timothy's dog a long time ago, and more recently I think it was Don's dog. Those people need to get a life if the best they can do is make up this garbage.
