Tagg, You're It... Says Snarky, New 236.com
Heads up! There's another progressive news Web site making waves on the Internets as the race for the White House heats up. Our newsroom received a manila envelope on Tuesday from something called 236.com. The t-shirt enclosed boasted the frontal catchphrase "236: Some of the news/most of the time." On the back: "Tagg Romney is a stupid name." The aforementioned is one of GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney's sons.
Upon further exploration, we found that 236.com is a "co-production between the gigantic, vaguely Death Star-like IAC, and The Huffington Post, a progressive news hub where outraged people go in order to get more outraged before going to have dinner at Nobu."
The site's "corporate overlords" are Arianna Huffington (publisher); Sarah Bernard (president); and Michael Jackson (IAC's head of interactive programming, not the embattled pop star).
One thing is for sure -- the headline writers at 236.com are having fun. A few eye-catching samples: "The Economy's Passed Out, Naked, And Covered With Crap" and "Fred Thompson Wakes Up, Drops Out Of Race, Goes Back To Sleep."
I wonder what the folks over at 463 Communications... or the PR pros at 133 Public Affairs... think of the new numerical kid on the block.
