Poor writing or journalism….
Poor writing or journalism….
It always amazes me the lack of respect, professionalism and originality that some called “writers or journalists” possesses… I believe that writing with ingenious humor is a natural; it must run in the writer’s vessels to be able to reach their hearts and others….
In a recent “The Daily Advertiser” publication, I believe it was this past September 19 and I said believe because I don’t follow this writer, I was told that this society writer (a she)wrote a column about the new iPhone 6 where she made very distinctive remarks to a specific class thinking this will make her “funny”… It didn’t take me much to pull out this column online and yes, there it was... I copy the remarks directly from her column and they read as follow:
“I always wondered what companies do with all those old phones. They say there is a recycling program, but who knows? They could end up in some Central or South American country just like old cars and T-shirts that were printed with the name of the losing Super Bowl team.
You can just imagine a bunch of poor Ecuadorans running around with iPhone 3s in T-shirts sporting the Denver Broncos logo with "Super Bowl XLVIII Champions" printed below.”
Great, isn’t?! There’s one thing called “fact check” used by reporters, writers and others in this kind of business which I guess this lady didn’t bother to do or use (strike one)…… Also, there’s a second and very noticeable fact in this article which is called “racist” and surprisingly this writer’s editor let it go through circulation (strike two)…… Bad thing for a paper that is trying to survive in the competitive world of media specially having two other companies ranking superior to this one (strike three and out!)……
Well guess what??? A fact check shows the following:
Of all of Latin America, Ecuador shows the strongest smart phone growth over the last three years, up almost 250%. The country has the most active cell phones per capita, more than one for every inhabitant, than any country in Latin America.

Perhaps this lady should know that to be a “GOOD” writer, reporter or commentator is more than wearing pearls and a fur cuffed cardigan for a picture…… How about a public apology by her and her editor??? Not that that will make her a better writer anyways…

Rhythms and Vividness
Rhythms and Vividness
Colors, textures, movement, brush strokes over marvelous lienzos... What a fabulous show!
So last night I attended “Rhythms and Vividness”, artist Mr. Thad Morgan opening reception show at The Frame Shop Gallery 912 located at 912 Coolidge Boulevard here in Lafayette. This is Mr. Morgan first return exhibit in Lafayette in over two years and ladies and gentlemen what an opening!
The crowd and venue was perfect, the wine excellent and Mr. Morgan just delightful and stylish… Society writer Diva Ms. Patricia Gannon was present so I knew it was going to be the perfect night… This exhibit will be on till May 16th, 2014. What a marvelous display of fine art, the “Jimmy”, the “Saint Sebastian”, the “David’s Face”, the “Marilyn” and on…. Thanks Mr. Morgan!
