Someone didn’t do their homework

by Jack Grant

Pajamas Media, the folks who signed up some 300-plus bloggers for a “subversive new media” and then uncerimoniously dropped the 230-plus small-fry, publicly announced they had renamed themselves to Open Source Media last night.

Unfortunately, there is already an Open Source Media, and they are not amused.

The real irony is that by dropping the majority of those bloggers who enthusiastically signed the non-disclosure agreement so they could be a part of Pajamas Media, the now exclusive club became the antithesis of open source.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
   -William Shakespeare

The scent of a rose is not the smell that comes to mind…

More like “sweet violets”, hmmm?

I agree with you.

With respect to the name change at Pajamas Media…

…the dog must have eaten the homework.

Eaten and promptly —> barfed
