Dr Mumbo

An editorial review gets shitty

Robert Lukins, an arts writer at weekly music mag Inpress, has taken the expression of disapproval to new lows.

In a rant to Dr Mumbo, Lukins accuses Sunday Herald journalist Wayne Flower of “an attempt to generate disquiet among the Herald Sun readership” in an article about the Melbourne street artist/vandal (depending on your view) Lush.

Not only does Lukins question the factual inaccuracy of the piece, which he says “intentionally misrepresented the subjects of his article.” He goes after its “moral intent” too.

So what better way to claim the moral high ground than to… write a stinging critique of the offending article with a picture of your very own excrement on the masthead of the offending paper?

Hmm.

Dr Mumbo can only imagine what Lukins does when he likes something he’s read.
