Jumping the Zombie Shark
If there's anything scarier than jumping a shark -- it would be jumping a ZOMBIE shark, right?
Pod-God Adam Curry touts the trumping of mainstream media by the citizen journalism coverage of the Saddam Hussein execution (recorded via mobile phone video and posted to YouTube.com by an Iraqi citizen) as the quintessential shark-jumping moment for traditional broadcasters.
This very real and very raw demonstration of the deconstruction of editorial walls between events and the public brings to my mind the quote from Jeff Goldblum's character in the original Jurassic Park film. In the movie, Dr. Ian Malcolm predicts the the trouble to come by saying "life finds a way." I submit this slight revision to you --
"Information finds a way."
