So sick of the phrase: “business model”.

In the last few days I have heard it applied to everything from dot com start-ups to Radiohead’s last album:

“That’s not a business model that works. I open a store and say ‘Come on in and pay whatever you want.’ Are you on fucking crack? Do you really believe that’s a business model that works?”, Gene Simmonds, Kiss.

Type it into Google and you get 881,000 results.

Even Flickr has 111 Business Model photos.

Enough.

Yes, cold has turned into flu and I’m surfing the web from my sickbed while continuing to be generally cranky.
