ANTI-SPIN: EVERYTHING from here on out is a Y2k problem :-)greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
I'm having fun here... ok?This is for the denialists and spinners out there.
I was thinking about the obvious spin regarding the "we don't know what the problem is but it's NOT a Y2k problem" strategy.
It's amazing to consider how after the largest, most comprehensive, worldwide software implementation in history has gone "live" there are NO Y2k problems.
I think we have absolute evidence either that there is a desire to "spin" the story or God has been very good to us, far beyond what we all deserve. This implementation going off without a hitch as the denialists suggest is nothing short of a miracle.
Naw, I think it's spin.
Fine. How about some anit-spin?
EVERY COMPUTER PROBLEM IS A Y2K PROBLEM. EVERY other problem is a Y2k problem!
This is entirely true and factual. Did the problem happen in the Year 2000? Yes? Then how can it NOT be a Year 2000 problem?
Oh, unless it's a Year 1900 problem of course.

Anti-spinners unite!!!

I wonder how long the Spin Doctors', Pocket Full of Kryptonite (Not Y2K Mantra) will last.

Hey, I think Brent beat ya to the punch there, Mike. ;-)Perhaps I can spin everything as 'nobody really knows.' Then everyone can hate me (not that they already don't, maybe). ;-)
