"20% Chance of Riots in the Streets" - Jason Calacanis delivers the bad news to OMMA

Calacanis referred to this as "The Bridge." He starts off with a little more digital triumphalism, and then talks about the real numbers behind the economic downturn, and the 20% chance of civil unrest, riots in the streets, cats&dogs living together, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, etc. etc.

It's quite canny of him to stick a mood-changer like this in the middle of his presentation. A relentless parade of stats (allegedly) proving that digital media will win out over all outmoded forms of communication, and we will join hands and walk into the sunrise of a brave new day ... would be sickening. So he threw this in here to address the fears of economic meltdown that were at the core of this conference (after all, the title was "Tools for Tackling the Downturn").
