The Corporation from the Black Lagoon (aka Hollinger) had been stagnantly
stewing in its own juice for many years. The decomposing Corp was aroused from its stupor by a pair of
marauding Black brothers who captured it for their own evil ends. They fed it a steady diet
of insider transactions, downsized employees and special dividends until the Corporation once again became
a bloated Black conglomerate to be reckoned with.
The Corporation from the Black Lagoon could no longer be satisfied with economic leftovers and began
goebbling up hundreds of media companies around the world. After filleting, frying and feasting on several
telegraphic news monsters, the Corporation returned to its ancestral home -- the Black Lagoon-- where it was
now a very big fixture in a small envious pond.
In a furious feeding frenzy, the Corporation swallowed almost every media morsel left in the Black Lagoon, leaving
it a featureless and bland toxic info-waste dump. But this did not satisfy the Corporation's
ravenous hunger for power, influence and wire-service copy.
Just then, a slow moving and even-keeled vessel, the SS Democracy, hove into view at the edge of the
Black Lagoon. The Corporation saw this Ship of State as both a threat to its gluttonous habits and a
succulent treat that could be overpowered, digested and eliminated.
The Corporation from the Black Lagoon prepared a final orgiastic banquet to swallow the SS Democracy
and receive its just desert-- a purely Corporate Menu for the Black Lagoon (e.g. forcefeeding of nafta nibblies and mai munchies).
