Official Statement: Inane to Replace Subtle, True.

"
Users all over the online world of blogs take note:

Please abstain from your usual routine of being true to yourself and let recent events trip you up. Let the Tragedy get you in such a state that you can't smile. Nobody's reaction to a situation is valid unless it is exactly the same as everybody else's. Do not be subtle in your grief. Make it obvious and grotesque.

Do not channel your fears, concerns and emotions into something creative. Shut down the parts of yourself that still can be stirred to creativity. Please be as everybody else is. Obviously, anybody who is not overtly maudlin and trite is suspect.

We urge you to observe these new guidelines.

Thank you.

The Manager.
