OT - Michael Rosenberg - forced against his will to practice humor

He was about to voluntarily chastize someone for doing something that he deemed immoral, but before he got the chance his bosses forced him to write something with humor:

I will never justify his position at SI by giving him as much as one click.  They should have fired him after Three and Out hit the shelves.  Rosenberg violated his profession's code of ethics, and was rewarded with a position at SI.

I certainly can't say that my impressions of Rosenbitch didn't diminish after reading 3&0,  What amazes me is that there was even room for them to drop at all.  The guy's just a terrible writer and any attempt at humor in the past has been a gigantic bomb.  The only time I laugh at this goober is when he tries to write something serious or credible!  Maybe we can take one of those photos of him and play Pin the Tail on the Rosenass!
