Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on Jimmy Kimmel Live PART 4 – YouTube

It’s not that I get my political information from Stewart and Colbert, it’s that they are the only media outlets that seems to reflect my point of view. Everything else is too spun up in bullshit ideas of how a newsbroadcast should look and spewing the same pitched stories again and again and again

That’s they are so loved. In the absence of journalism I will gladly take faux news.

Soap Operas are a uniquely American expression of high camp comedrama.

GH has been doing some great things in terms of playing to its audience with the inside jokes and references. The writing itself has been great. Heavy on the comedy and irony. Even the Disney owned movie promotional tie-ins were appealing.
I hope that ABC/Disney are behind keeping GH on the air for the long term. It has a consistent audience (and for gawds sake it is so much less annoying than any of the daytime chatter!!!)

I don’t understand aspects of the business plan though. Sure, you don’t want to leave a months worth of the most recent episodes up on hulu. If you do that you aren’t driving your audience to keep up with things and keep tuning in. I get that part.

Why they hell don’t they make older stuff available though? It is the best marketing for the show ever! Pop some older episodes a few years at a time up on iTunes or Amazon or something. .99/episode. People would buy multiple episodes to follow the storyline they like best. that should encouraged by allowing viewers to fast forward, etc. easily. Have highlight episodes – Nurses Ball, hostage situations, what-have you for 4.99 a pop or something.

It would be very low cost to ABC/Disney. The actors etc. could be paid in percentages of percentages of pennies which may or may not ever add up to anything. The videos allow people in indulge in nostalgia for old characters and storylines and perhaps even draw them back to the show. New viewers can figure out who characters are. The show get exposure and ABC/Disney ending making money on the promotion.

I know everyone is busy from buying Star Wars but it’s a simple thing, Please?

New York Road Runners Club should seize the opportunity for PR gold themselves and donate one of those generators to Staten Island. Perhaps coordinate runners who choose to stay and volunteer instead helping in the neighborhoods where the race was schedule to run through.

Just a thought. Peanut Gallery and all.

Seriously? right now seems like a good time to play doublespeak spin control?

Please, shirk even more responsibility off the backs of those who deserve it for the Katrina debacles and further muddy the issues asshole.

Oh, wait I meant please go fuck yourself.
