The British media sphere is obsessed with itself, sometimes beyond belief:
That’s from the Guardian main (web) page. A news story about someone corpsing on the radio while reading the news. Okay, it’s someone pretty well known for their general reliability, so perhaps it’s a bit noteworthy – and she did corpse while reading an obituary. But it’s not just a news story: besides that there’s an internal blog post about corpsing, there’s Green herself writing about the corpsing, there’s a recording of the corpsing happening and a “special comment” column on the event by someone called Michael Simkins. Four, count ’em, four pieces of writing on this matter, plus the recording. On the front page. This isn’t disappearing up your own arse – this is when your head pokes through the other side.
Apropos of that, here’s my favourite bit of corpsing ever. Maybe it’s not as good if you haven’t listened to cricket on the radio.
