Ashton vs CNN – the obligitory post

First, I think at its core it basically means the a big celebrity with a big effort (and some bribes along the way) can get a bunch of people to listen to him. New tool, some song. Im not sure why anyone thinks this is symbolic of power to the little man. Aston is just as much a part of a big media machine as anybody else. I think overall all it shows that personality and perception are really important in getting attention. From reading comments it seems like a lot of people felt like they could stick it to the man by following Ashton…they were making a statement about something. Overall, its hard for me not to buy into this great line from a forum: “Forget the whale. It’s shark jumping time.”
