Fake Steve Jobs Jumps Shark

Many people interested in creating a web presence to interact with their audience can learn a lot from Fake Steve Jobs. Like any character sketch without a story, there is a point where it becomes stale. That happened about the time FSJ published his book. New concepts are uninteresting. The character is unchanged. We probably aren’t too far from self-mockery and self-parody. I wish to declare that Fake Steve Jobs has jumped the shark.

To quote wikipedia:

..the phrase has become a colloquialism[1] used by U.S. TV critics and fans to denote the point at which the characters or plot of a TV series veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline. Such a show is typically deemed to have passed its peak. Once a show has “jumped the shark” fans sense a noticeable decline in quality or feel the show has undergone too many changes to retain its original charm.

I watched Fake Steve Jobs perform a 2007 Crunchie Award. Writers shouldn’t act their material. The material wasn’t so remarkable either.

One really bad step can undo so much hard work. Authentic is the best antidote for this outcome. When your approach is parody and mockery, authentic is a hard tool to use.

Fake Steve Jobs has jumped the shark.
