Then there’s this:
Jeremy Reed QC, for the claimants, said the computer contained 76 digital recordings, although he conceded it was not clear whether they might include hacked voicemail messages.
Reed said Evans’s computer was “the only computer that hasn’t been put through the grinder by News Group Newspapers”. News Group is the News International subsidiary that published the News of the World until it was closed in July at the height of the furore over phone hacking.
Reed added that the others had been “smashed up” when the company moved to new premises earlier this year.
Um. The Maybelline commericial is more than a year old...

Yeah, Ryan's link mentions that in an update:
"I just exchanged emails with Steve Hall from Adrants. Steve points out an important fact that I somehow missed. That is, that the video is a little over a year old. I apologize for the intimation that the ad was new and specifically designed to co-opt the Occupy movement.
That said, however (and this is probably the reason I didn’t pick up on the date), isn’t it curious I saw this in the theatre just a couple days ago? I imagine these ad people are savvy enough to see the opportunity/resonance today even if they had this sitting on the shelf — especially after the engagement with the police on the Brooklyn Bridge catapulted OWS to the big time...To the extent I misled anyone or caused incorrect conclusions to be drawn against anyone in the visual industrial complex, my bad (this time)."
Whoops.

Looks like the OWS Hissy Fit is finally over.
The livestream channel currently lists 650 viewers worldwide:

About 300 fewer viewers than are watching the live Paso Fino Horse show:

The OWS crowd could live without showers or toilets, but when they took down the chow line, it was all over.

[Four days after the press watchdogs at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism posted their “Romenesko Saga” story, I received an invitation to return to aggregating — from, of all places, the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
Here’s a portion of Mark Glassman’s email:
"Columbia’s Journalism School is putting together a new website about
business journalism education, and we were wondering if you might be
interested in contributing. …
We think your skills as an aggregator and your critical eye make you
an excellent candidate for this type of piece, and we’d love to get a
dialog going. I realize this must have been a rocky last few days for
you, but if you’re interested, we’d love to discuss the opportunity as
soon as possible, as the site is launching next month."
Thanks, I said, but I’m going to pass.]
I would not be offering work to someone if I were in the middle of such a major news story on that person, under these circumstances.
But of course mere rubes in the public do not understand the crosscurrents of behavior in the towers of ivory where the antelope play.
A good story for CJR's The Audit, perhaps. After the latest post has been corrected.

WTF?
You mean Clayton actually posted a meaningful post?
So while CJR is making excuses for Romenesko here, the Columbia School of Journalism is also recruiting him? For real?!
What a JOKE!

WTF! You are a goof, 'padikiller.' I don't want to start the morning right with your cursing.
Time to go to your day job. Harvesting containers for a precarious living.

Still no update to reflect the R E A L I T Y that Maybelline didn't use any "co-opted" imagery?
Do you guys even care about the truth here?
