Irony isn't dead, but...
Post 79526 by Pope Guilty deleted for the following reason: This was pretty well covered previously, and this is kind of a hell of a way to put together a post on the topic regardless. -- cortex

Post 79521 by sluglicker deleted for the following reason: My best to the Belchoirs, but this is either a very bad idea or a very bad idea done to make some sort of point. -- cortex

Has the modern Film Critic slipped through the interwebs cracks?
Post 79458 by Lacking Subtlety deleted for the following reason: It looks like you put a lot of work into this, but it really reads like a personal blog post more than something that makes sense as a post to Metafilter. -- cortex

Big Brother Tivo Is Here To Help
Post 79296 by nomisxid deleted for the following reason: It seems like there's a mix of maybe interesting content here and really kind of weird and not particularly accessible presentation; maybe someone wants to try a do-over that makes it a little bit more clear what this is all about and isn't quite so much like an entry on a DVR enthusiast's blog? -- cortex

Post 79072 by changeling deleted for the following reason: I think we're into the point of XKCD and Metafilter's relationship where "new, somewhat more elaborate than usual comic!" doesn't generally cut it as a post. -- cortex
An Open Letter to a New York Times reporter
Post 79067 by incessant deleted for the following reason: I kind of respect in theory the high-concept open-letter-as-post-structure thing I guess you're going for here, but that said this is really not a good fit for the front page of metafilter so much as it is a badass personal blog entry. Kind blows waaaay past the "don't editorialize" boundry here. -- cortex

Driftwood Horses
Post 79022 by headspace deleted for the following reason: Pretty much done before; with art-related posts, it's not a bad idea to try and track the work down to the actual artist(s) involved anyway to avoid encouraging these scrape-and-don't-credit middleman things when possible. -- cortex

A plea from the state of Tamilnadu (India)
Post 78871 by hadjiboy deleted for the following reason: Kind of thin-ish, "here's a couple news stories" post is borderline. Acting like a jerk to people in thread about it is well into not-okay territory. Someone is welcome to give this another shot with more context and less defensiveness. -- cortex
