Contest: The New York Times in a six-word slogan

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 6, 2008 09:28 PM

Update: Falling profits and shrinking ads, sniff.

***
Laer Pearce at Cheat Seeking Missiles sends word that the Freakonomics blog at the NYTimes website is holding a contest to describe America in six words. Naturally, the game has degenerated into an America-bashing fest.

Examples:

“White? Straight? Christian? Rich? Welcome Home!”
“‘Number One? Smells like number two.”

Laer is soliciting pro-America entries to balance out the nutroots submissions. Leave ‘em at his blog.

Meantime, if you’d like to play a variation and describe the NYTimes in six words, let loose!

I’ll start:

All Leftist propaganda fit to print.

Our enemies’ favorite newspaper, hands down.

Apologize for Walter Duranty’s lies now!

How’s that stock chart doing, Pinch?

    Fish Would Jump Out Of It.

    For the record my mother told me that she heard Anthony Lewis say that. Some years ago she was a fourth grade teacher and had brought her class to worship at the Temple of The Times. These trips were a highlight of being in the NYC education system. They were being shown the newsroom and the City Desk in the old HQ when Mr Lewis walked by and stopped to say hello, a fine example of les majestie. This was unusual since he lives in Cambridge and rarely visited NY. One of the teachers tried to look smart by asking him for his opinion of USA Today. Mr Lewis responded.
