Hollywood as the new Detroit

Jerry Seinfeld speaking at the FourSquare conference:

“I think of the entertainment industry and Detroit similarly,” Mr. Seinfeld said as he dressed down the television executives in the room for not being bolder in their programming. “They don’t have confidence in their instincts. Maybe they don’t have instincts to be confident in?”

The Times on MTV's Laguna Beach

Anyone out of high school forced to watch more than an hour of “Laguna Beach” might possibly feel the urge to beat themselves about the head with a large stick.

Speaking from personal experience, I'd say it's more like five minutes...

I also like this, from MTV flak about local complaints about the way their town is being depicted:

“This show is about seven kids whose parents consented to their involvement and who themselves consented,” Ms. Black said. “We never represented this show as depicting the town of Laguna Beach.”

Right. That's why it's called "Laguna Beach"!
