In an immediate and stinging response to Yahoo’s ham-handed
acquisition of Tumblr for $1.1 billion, a corporate giant which for now must
remain nameless but which rhymes with “Schmoogle” has bid a reported $1.2 trillion
for The World of Dr Justice.
Predictably, riots have broken out in the streets.
In the words of a spokesperson for the corporation whose
name also rhymes with “Bloogle”:
In clumsily acquiring Tumblr, Yahoo
has purchased nothing but 100 million “eyeballs”. Who wants eyeballs? Yuk -- disgusting.
What is needed is synapses -- sleek, intelligent nets of
neurons. And this is what you’ll
find at WDJ. From
Trinitarian Minimalism to
Cantorian Realism, from penguins to hamsters, the World of Dr
Justice is the cream of the (as
the French put it) crème.
Details of the pact have yet to be worked out, but the basic
outlines of the deal seem certain.
(At least, assuming that the offer someone left on my answering-machine
wasn’t just some prank or hoax.)
[Flash update -- 22 May 2013] The corporation
not-quite-known-as “Fnoogle” has unexpectedly withdrawn from the bidding as its offer was suddenly trumped by that
of a shadowy entity known only by the covername “Urysohn”. Details when these become available.
