I was reading some news today and came across the following quote. It is about a couple of would-be celebrities and I just really loved the word choice of the writer.
It's easy to make of this a lot more than there is. For the most part, this is a squad of publicists working in concert to make a barely functioning Bic lighter look like the burning of Atlanta. So far, because of the sheer level of interest, everybody's winning; the show, the Pratts, MTV, everybody. It's not a real feud. It's like a rotten log with bugs in it. The log isn't mad; the bugs aren't mad, it's the rest of us who think it's gross, and only if we're choosing to look.
I have no interest in the people behind this story, but you've got to love the metaphor and the simile. Awesome.
