The reason I just ripped out the power supply from the big LCD TV -- Fox New is (was) on all the time here.
Truth be told, I've had more elegant drunken blackouts.
Looking at that pic I can’t really imagine a straight dude looking at her under any amount of alcohol thinking “want some of that”.
So that leaves gay dudes. And if a gay dude looks at that ...
you know maybe they have a point. I’ve seen hotter dudes....;)
This is coming down to busted business models now. It’s happening in Hollywood, publishing, music . . .
The arbiters of taste, chick’s like Anne Wintour in fashion is a really good example, used to have immense power.
Taste, and what sells, is becoming more democratic. The ‘editors’ have so much less power than they used to.
There are outstanding vocalists out there that can’t get a break, and they will happily troop on over to a vocaloid studio and for six figures immortalize their vocal talents into a transfer function the studio can use to produce a superstar.
‘Wool’ is a book published on Amazon by a guy who’s first book wasn’t much of a success. Through hard marketing work he built a following and made some excellent marketing choices and built himself a lucrative business. Amazon recently hosted a seminar featuring a couple of mainstream successful authors.
One wrote ‘The Help’, where she relived having been rejected over 60 times before finally getting a house to publish her. Had she to do it again, she would have done Amazon. Rowling was passed up by about 15 different houses - she’s worth billions now, and has made her publisher very wealthy. Who passed on her, and do they still have jobs?
Spielberg and Lucas both rang the bell on the death of the current business model in Hollywood. They hinted that some movies would have ticket prices of $20 or more, while others would be cheaper than $10.
I don’t see that happening, and now Netflix and even Google are getting into the production business.
If its on the networks, it tends to be pretty bad now. Big Bang Theory is a great show, but beyond that I can’t think of a network show we bother DVR’ing anymore. It’s all on FX, AMC, or USA now.
Good news? Beyond the WSJ, which is SLIPPING by the way, (Someone from their editorial shop needs to decimate the news division, and fire Jason Gay too) the internet is the only place to go for news - FR, Brietbart, and some other places.
Even with these sources, its almost impossible to get objective analysis anymore.
I have every intention to be extremely unfair to them, no different than the Loyalists were treated after R1.
You know that when Hanna Montana shows up to eat your lunch, you've been well and truly screwed over.
African American performers have carved out a certain niche. Not my cup of tea... but it has been a lucrative market. Now the likes of Miley Cyrus are showing up to horn in and divvy up the pie. That has to wrankle...
BTW, can we dispense with the notion that Hanna Montana’s big ol’ microphone was not a suggestive prop from the git-go?
But this restored my faith in innovation and creativity:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i0vPMJvLxk
