O VERDADEIRAMENTE HORRENDO DOS "NOUGHTIES" (II)
(segundo "The Word" mas com aplicação local)



The Da Vinci Code

What's more depressing: the massive, heartbreaking success, the gormless movie or the dismal, soul-rotting, plain bad writing? If Catholicism is a conspiracy you'd have thought they'd suppress it. A great piece from the "Telegraph" on just how bad Dan Brown's writing is here.

Aplicação local: José Rodrigues dos Santos.




Guilty Pleasures

Flogged-flat conceit that gives music of a certain age a chocolate-advert patina of fake ooh-it's-naughtiness. We've even heard ABBA described as a guilty pleasure. To be clear: Sailor, The Carpenters and ELO made good records and that's the end of that.

Aplicação local: rever as páginas do "Público"/"Ípsilon" dos últimos anos.
