Rumblings: Ain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do
>>> We kinda saw this one coming: Tierney & Co. put the kaibosh on turning the Inky HQ into Jerry Seinfeld’s own personal beehive, amid complaints by neighbors, anti-blight groups and, uh, basically everyone but us. (We thought it would be kind of funny in a you’re-punking-yourself-all-the-way-to-the-bank way.) Money quote: “You don’t give variances because something’s cute,” says a member of SCRUB, who clearly have the best acronym in town. True, my sweet anti-blight crusader, but it is Pixar bees we’re talking about here, honey. No? Ok, no. [NYT]
>>> Franny Rizzo detects a grand opportunity for political grandstanding in the whole Earthlink/WirelessPhiladelphia mess, and so puts a hearing on the docket to make Earthlink execs pinky swear that they’re not going to fuck us. They’ve already done this, mind you, but you know, making a promise to John Street is one thing; but making a promise to Franny while he’s rubbing your nose in your own corporate poo-poo for his own personal edification is another. We think. [KYW]
>>> And finally in this rumblings, somebody finally makes some goddamn money: The third season of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia debuts to the show’s highest numbers ever. How did they do it? MORE SCREAMING! [Zap2It]
