As a child of the 20th and 21st centuries, let me tell you a little flair goes a long way. For no flair at all; that speaks volumes. Let's be honest with ourselves right from the get go: Connecticut polotics are boring! Unless, that is, there is a juicy scandal unfolding revolving around women, hot tubes or women and hot tubes. Therefore it becomes the responsibility of the vehicle, in which we learn about our home state's polotics, that needs some help to pull the readers in. "Capital Report" has zero, zilch, notta, ought, zippo for flair. They do not even reach the ballpark in order to be remotely considered to be near the minimum amount of flair.
Aestetics and panache is what is needed in this ADD ridden society that we live in. In order to drive readers to one's sight, one must overstimulae the audience's senses. One needs to have crazy pop ups, sound bites, a computer generated musak score that forces one to decide upon a hyperlink, that will dissolve into some wizard like animation which transports you magically to another page where the words beckon your attention. Now, you are ready to recess deep into the wall of words that appear infront of you as you become increasingly interested in what is going on in your Facebook page.
At least this hypothetical website, which I just imagined in my mind, made an effort to extort the senses as a way to drive up readership. That is much more than what I can say about "Capital Report." I fell out of insomnia just looking at the homepage.
Can everyone join in with me as I say.... BORING!!!!!!
