If you have been gripped by the Leveson Inquiry into Media Ethics as I have, you will have noticed that the lead council, Robert Jay Q.C. has a certain way of speaking and asking questions.
Yesterday a meme started on Twitter querying pop lyricists in the style of Robert Jay
“You may call it ‘sexual healing’, Dr Gaye, but I contend that some would consider it ‘serious medical malpractice’.” #popleveson
All of the boys, Ms Kelis? That is an extremely expansive claim for any dairy product. #popleveson
“You continue to blame it on the boogie, Mr Jackson. But evidence suggests that sunshine, moonlight & good times played a part” #popleveson
RT @janinegibson: I will remind you again, Miss Morrissette, that we are pursuing irony here and not mere inconvenience. #popleveson
RT @giantteddi: RT @DavidBlackm0re: “I will ask you again, and remember you are under oath – who let the dogs out? #PopLeveson
RT @johnmitchinson: Mr Bono, let me put it to you that the streets did indeed have names but that you have conveniently decided to forget them. #popleveson
Big-legged ladies lack soul? Seriously Mr Zeppelin, do you expect the court to accept such nonsensical assertions? #PopLeveson
RT @politicalhackuk: And did you honestly believe that rock and roll was an adequate foundation for a city of this size? #popleveson
Too vague Ms Turner, the depth of a river or altitude of a mountain has little relevance, exactly how close were you? #popleveson
RT @robdrummond: “I put it to you Mr Dury that you did indeed ask to be hit with said rhythm stick on a number of occasions, at varying speeds” #popleveson
RT @limeandonion: “Mr. Lennon, you are either an eggman or a walrus. You cannot be both, can you, surely?” #popleveson
If as you claim ‘yo
u don’t like reggae’, why only moments later do you state ‘you love it’? #popleveson
“You continue to blame it on the boogie, Mr Jackson. But evidence suggests that sunshine, moonlight & good times played a part” #popleveson
Mr. Marley. I put it to you that if you did shoot the sheriff, you must also have been present for the shooting of his deputy. #popleveson
Mr Rotten, what evidence do you present that her majesty is directly responsible for your lack of education? #popleveson
Am I right in assuming Mr Joel that, despite all the evidence of arson that stands before you, you still deny starting the fire? #popleveson
RT @RevRichardColes: I ask you again: do you, or do you not, remember the good old days before the ghost town? #PopLeveson
The purpose of this post is to test a new curation tool that I will be using when offering the Web Content News Feed service. Currently it’s going out on Linkbait Coaching, but I will be offering it as a stand alone product to help with content creation ideas, ultimately leading to more links and attention.
