The Macalope Weekly: Busted businesses

24.09.2011

Oh, eWeek. We have to talk. Because these top-10 slideshows? Honey, this is no good.

The Macalope has seen this kind of self-destructive behavior before, and it only ends in one place: face-down in a dumpster outside Reno, hopped up on cough syrup and Red Bull, and wearing a homemade Philly Phanatic costume.

It's time to admit you have a problem.

Oh, sure, the slideshows might have seemed cute when you started. They're easy to write and generate 10 times as many ad impressions, but now they've reached the stage where they're more a call for help than anything else. Like the latest from Don Reisinger.
