When “square” is just not square enough

When the public relations gurus at Quantum Communications could not find a conservative new-media network, they did what any frustrated, information-driven businessperson would do.

“We made one,” said Charlie Gerow, founder of the Harrisburg-based firm.

Today, Gerow and longtime associate Jeff Lord officially began QubeTV.TV -- a unique video, photograph and social network designed especially for conservatives.

That's right! Cube Tube.

I don't know what it is about these stalled conservatives (“Lord wondered how he could honor his father through something new and fresh for the stalled conservative political movement,” reports the rolling-right-along Pittsburgh Tribune-Review), but they've started their own fantasy-news network, their own 'pedia (Wackopedia, I think it's called), and now their own “QubeTV”; next thing you know they'll have their own house of pancakes. If they ever get themselves unstalled maybe they can have their own planet. That would be, come to think of it, pretty neat.

In the meantime, some journalism professor from the University of Florida explains...

“There are many different ways a story can be told,” he said, and creating a niche such as QubeTV can carve holes in the network that need to be filled.

Of course if they'd just cool it a little with the carving there wouldn't be so many holes in the first place, would there?

“Conservatives” (they don't seem to be much into conserving things, do they?) are apparently upset with YouTube because the tubers did some terrible thing to rightie sweetie-pie Michelle Malkin, I don't know what - but Malkin is no wimp (on the suicides of three Guantanamo Bay prisoners: “...the reaction to the suicides should be 'Boo-freakin-hoo.'”) it must have been something really, really mean.
