Bluffer's Guide



Why be informed when you can sound informed? That's what Newsweek will be asking when they launch their new feature, "The Bluffer's Guide" which "will tell readers how to sound as if they are knowledgeable on a current topic, whether they are or not." I suppose they needed something for people who can't slog through their 300 word articles.

This is where news is headed. If it doesn't fit into a text message it can't hold people's attention.

Dear Matt,

Actually, it's God's Plan to place the ADD gene in the human gene pool so that the roaches can finally be rid of the pesky humans.
