"THE ideal Gawker item," Nick Denton, the owner of Gawker Media, wrote in an instant message last month to a prospective hire, "is something triggered by a quote at a party, or an incident, or a story somewhere else and serves to expose hypocrisy, or turn conventional wisdom on its head.

"And it's 100 words long.

"200 max.

"Any good idea can be expressed at that length."

the zeitgeist just called and told me that the term 'jump the shark' has jumped the shark.

unless you're actually referring to Arthur Fonzarelli, please stop.

I never heard of jumping the snark. Then I read the article. The title says Snark, the story says Shark -- nowhere else in the story do they mention Snark, except a word "snarkiness" whatever that means.

So this means what? -- the NYT is stupid, and HuffPo is just re-transmitting wasted spit? They don't read their own stories before they write the title. Should they fire an editor or two (and throw out all those neocon columnists that they've hired recently).

Yeah, that should do it.
