Today the New York Times sunk to an all-time low. It was brought to my attention that they actually included the following sentence in rock critic Jane Scott’s obituary:
“A Victrola is something like an iPod, only larger.”
Honestly, I can barely fathom this. At first I thought it was a joke, but who jokes in an obituary? And it’s the New York Times, not Highlights for Children! What’s next? RCA’s dog, Nipper, listening to an iPod? I can’t even write more. It’s too horrifying.
Here’s “Victrola” by Veruca Salt. Or maybe it’s called “Large iPod,”… I forget.
