Yow! Tina Brown took both the red pill and the blue pill, I think. She's slipped into some unholy Matrix sub-basement. Or maybe she's living in that other bad Lawrence Fishburne movie, the one where the space ship goes to another dimension and everyone ends up all bloody.

Tina's Event Horizon-inspired column in today's Washington Post begins with Sony USA CEO Howard Stringer quoting the old Ministry club hit: "Every day is Halloween," he says, and that's just the beginning of Tina's Terrordome. Evidently everybody in the upper echelons of corporate cultural production is feeling the horror of overexposure and commercial failure and dread. Boo hoo! Tina's cast of "honchos" sound like they need to be hosed down with liquid Wellbutrin.

Everyone's just so stressed! Why do some Britney albums sell a million copies and some none at all? And what about those crazy radical Ay-rabs? Nobody has any idea at all what's wrong with this crazy, crazy world! Eh, well, let's send the driver out to pick us up some lunch.
