Not All iPods — Vinyl and Turntables Gain Sales
Says the New York Times: "With the curious resurgence of vinyl, a parallel revival has emerged: The turntable, once thought to have taken up obsolescence with eight-track tape players, has been reborn."
How is this funny? The entire pretense this troll uses for his "funny" post is based on poor reading comprehension. "Consider this sentence..." The summary stated the resurgence of vinyl was curious, not the parallel revival of turntables. What you go on to say after the fact implies the opposite.
Quite obviously it would take a fool to think that this parallel revival was "news," however TFA has little to do with discussing just turntables, but the widespread increase in vinyl records, new turntable models, and so on in popular retailers like Best Buy. TFA is about the spread of this phenomenon from confinement to the corner record store out into the mainstream. The summary is weak, but you'd have realized that had you read TFA rather than skimming the summary, misreading it, and deciding to troll for karma. This is a clear case of EMPF (Epic Mod Point Fail).

Maybe they can find a way for MP3's to degrade with every play so they can again compete against the turntable?
>>>get off my long-dead lawn.
Lawns??? That new-fangled idea was imported from the Carnegies and Rockefellers and other hoity-toity richie richs. It has no business in the 'hood of the common man! I'm proud to say that my grass grows tall-and-robust, just as God intended, and just like my pappy and grandpappy grew it. Live humbly, not proud. Don't be puttin-on airs with fake lawns!
