VVM “pwned” by New Times

I wasn’t going to say anything, but since everyone else already has…

New Times is back in town. The company bought out Village Voice Media, which owns the LA Weekly.

What this means for me, I do not know yet. But it’ll probably be good.

    Yeah, I read this yesterday and immediately thought of you. Hopefully there is some kind of LYT Will Slowly Engulf the World clause written in.

    “pwned?” Pawned? Or is it “owned?” Typographical error, I think…

    Though, “pawned” would be funny…

    Awesome news… my fingers crossed for you, and the paper. I have so missed New Times L.A. City Beat is cool, but it’s never been as satifying as NT was end to end. NT even managed to get me to consistently read sections that I traditionally never bother with. It’s time the L.A. Weekly got a shake up. It got better when some New Times refugees settled in there, but most of the time, it was only good for movie showtimes, and for writing phone numbers on, when randomly running into friends. This is great news for the writers, the readers, and Los Angeles print media.

    VALLEYBEAT rocks up here in the SFV! Though, not as extensive as CityBeat. I think the OC Weekly and LA Weekly are both now with New Times.

    if you were really excited, you could even get away with ‘totally pwnzzored’ but that might be going a bit to far.

    totally cool news, man.

    Did the New Times ambush the Village Voice Media from all sides?

    In other words, NT’s investment bankers beat up VVM’s investment bankers. Not precisely a victory for the little guy, dude.

    Ain’t no little guys in corporate mergers, condiment.

    It’s a victory for me, though. And having spent half my income this year on surgery bills, I could use one.
