"It’s not sour grapes! It’s UMAMI grapes!" (or: Better Living Centre’ s Annoyance with Malcolm Gladwell)

Judging from the last entry in the Toronto-focused blog Better Living Centre, my blogging co-conspirator (conspiracy coming soon) Marc Weisblott and I part company when it comes to the subject of Maclom “The Tipping Point” Gladwell.

The best part about Marc’s polemic is the comment by Liam Scott, which

reads “Maybe your analysis will prompt him to write about tall-poppy

syndrome next.”

In the words of Grand Theft Auto: Busted!
