SPIKE 收檔了（社會文化）

SCMP 早前報導了以下的一段新聞：

Satirical magazine Spike's survival was in doubt yesterday after
rumours it would be closing after the collapse of a rescue deal.
While Spike publisher Stephen Vines would not confirm the
closure, sources at the magazine said staff had received an e-mail
from Mr Vines saying negotiations for a further injection of funds
had fallen through and the magazine would be closing.

Mr Vines had said in June that the publication was having business
troubles, but was upbeat at the time about the chances of keeping it
afloat. Last night he was telling a different story："Unfortunately,
I can't tell you anything. We're in the middle of something here and
it would be staggeringly unhelpful of me to say anything at the
moment," he said, "There's nothing I can say that will be helpful to
the magazine."

今年三月時我係本站預言，曰SPIKE 最多只能捱不超過十八個月!（見此）
言猶在耳，想不到這班"灣仔醉酒佬"會敗走得這麼快。當事人對外宣稱
雜誌之死皆因投資者沒履行承落繼續投入資金，可行內線人供稱該公司
內部無制度，辦事無章法；話事人如典型水怪，只會吹不會做。投資者
見Burn rate如斯高速，怕步"白粉馬"搞Eastern Express或何公子搞iMail
等人的下場，即時斬倉（斬得好！），以免把自己的金錢倒落海，白白
養肥了這一班水怪。:)

始終社會的大多數 -- 包括頭腦簡單的傳媒人 -- 的眼睛係雪亮的。倒董
反政府的，不一定全係好東西。照搬壹週刊的"煲水猛料"，盲目反共反
華、詆毀本地人、狂插南華早報；可自家的料又舊又不準，專題分析九
流，連笑話都不好笑（Humor and satire? what humour and satire?),
如此辦刊物，不倒閉才怪。（聞說刊物內有位菲律賓"才女"，以中環商
場假日時，女廁供不應求來大做文章，申訴香港的種族和性別歧視問題
....哎，唔該佢啦真係！~~）
