Desmond Blows Nor'Wester Debut

Two weeks after Cayblogger made his nationwide radio interview debut on Radio Cayman with the inimitable Jay Ehrhart, Rufus T. McGilicutty is still waiting for some indication as to when his media blitz will begin in a local publication – as mentioned during his interview.

To celebrate his 30,000th hit on his blog site, Cayblogger’s McGilicutty - now officially the best kept secret in Cayman with the hottest blog site in Cayman - took out a full page colour ad in the alleged soon-to-be re-released Nor’Wester magazine; but to date no issue of Nor’Wester has been published.

Sources tell Cayblogger that Not News publisher Desmond Seales’ attempt to revive the defunct publication was supposed to take place by April – but that hasn’t happened; and according to people close to the source, it isn’t likely to happen any time soon.

No big deal you say? All except for the people who have committed to adverts in the publication who are now basically screwed, yet again, at the hands of Desmond Seales – if and until the Nor’Wester actually runs.

One Not News staffer tells Cayblogger that, allegedly, the person in charge of running the publication arrived on island from the UK, only to turn around and leave after finding out that Desmond’s offer was “too good to be true” – which, for those of you who know Desmond, the words “good” and “true” can hardly be used to describe him.

Those of you who choose to debate this please show up with spotless police clearance letters - somthing DS can't do; apparently...

At the end of the day, Desmond’s attempt to become “bigger, bolder and better” is failing miserably. Note to Desmond: just because you use more colour and a larger font size doesn’t mean you’ve gotten better. If anything, your poor quality is now just a lot easier to see, and your lack of results vis a vis the Nor'Wester are not the least bit surprising.

Regardless, I guess we’ll all just have to wait a bit longer for Desmond to hire a Nor’Wester publisher; if he can find one dumb enough to come work for him.

I hear Dr. Luarca might be available to run the Nor’Wester. Think of it: the perfect marriage of government cast-offs uniting in a common goal of action without progress. Sounds like a match made in hell.

Good luck Dessie – I’m sure missing deadlines does nothing more than inspire even greater levels of confidence in the advertisers who pay you to perform a service.

Sir,
Your comments re Desmond Seales is diagusting. Mr. Seales may have a police record but he is a man with great vision. I ask you sir "how is it working for you taking such pleasure in underminding a great man like Mr. Seales, and Yes i would work for him if he would hire me.

ACTUALLY, MAKING FUN OF DESSIE IS WORKING OUT QUITE WELL THANKS. FOR A CONVICT HE MAKES A HECK OF A MEDIOCRE NEWSPAPER MAN.
