BBC2’s White season: the trailer

Tue 04 Mar 2008 Wehrmacht - Wolfram Wette Wehrmacht: History, Myth, Reality Wolfram Wette 372 pages including index published in 2002 One of the enduring myths of World War 2 is the idea that the crimes committed by nazi Germany were the work of a relatively small number of villains with the vast majority of the German population either being their victims or just trying to make the best of a bad situation or to do their duty to their country.

is a vote for PAS a vote for an islamic state in this elections?

is a vote for PAS a vote for an islamic state in this elections? Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 A friend of mine said today he wouldn??t vote for PAS if they were the only opposition candidates in his constituency. I guess that sentiment prevails amongst voters who fear the institution of Islamic-styled governance in Malaysia. With the threat of Islamization given coverage last year in which religious sensitivities were mauled by Islamic authorities - Lina Joy comes immediately to mind - who can bl

Who Do You Think?

As a member of Britain??s third party, I??m usually loathed to swallow a media narrative on any issue, as I??ve seen how egregiously they can get it wrong. Yet I find myself having to do so on the issue of the American Democratic Presidential Primaries. Most reporters are billing Barack Obama as the young, optimistic candidate with little experience but a lot of hope Hillary Clinton as the older, more seasoned firebrand with few pretty words but plenty of competence and experience, and a mastery o

Moody’s places the NYT Co. on Ratings Review

To those of us that are civilians in the world of investments..that means a possible &quotdowngrade on the company’s Baa1 senior unsecured and Prime-2 commercial paper ratings.&quot Goodness. Doesn’t that suck for their stockholders. From the E&ampP writeup: The review comes on the heels of company’s double-digit ad revenue declines in December and January. &quotThe current pace of revenue declines are more than Moody’s had anticipated for 2008,&quot wrote Moody’s lead analyst John Puchalla.

Sexy French Ads Failed To Save Firebrand.com Advertising

Yesterday we found out that Firebrand, the big-money &quotadvertainment&quot website that hoped to turn commercials into content that people would actually seek out, is going under. Not too surprising the whole reason the TV ad genre is in trouble is that people don’t want to see ads, and can now skip them with DVRs. But at least Firebrand will leave a useful legacy: it brought sexy French ads to the outside world. It already offered us the world’s sexiest fruit ad, and now, as a bon voyage, we bring

Media Memories: What Will Our Kids Remember?

With yesterday’s closure of the wall-to-wall TV and online ad channel Firebrand, maybe it’s time to conclude that the ads-as-content model isn’t likely to sustain itself on a grand scale maybe more modest attempts can pull it off. After all, Firebrand looked and functioned beautifully, the content was top-notch, and the initial investment was there. But apart from those of us who like to spend a short while watching decent ads while channel-hopping in hotel rooms from time to time, the aud

In January, when most political pundits were asserting that the race for the Democratic nomination would be over by Super Tuesday on February 5, I admonished you to ignore them. Of course, given Barack Obama??s winning streak in primaries and caucuses all over the country since then, I appreciate how tempting it is now for everyone to believe that he has the nomination all wrapped up. And his sweeping victories in the Potomac primaries in Maryland, Virginia, and DC yesterday only adds credence

look at me!!!

So Firebrand failed. That’s amazing. Hard to believe that people don’t want to watch a show or web channel that has nothing but ads. In several of my marketing talks, I make the implicit point that no one cares about your marketing except you. And the only people who actually look for ads are the people paying for them and the people who sell them. But for some reason, many companies feel that their advertising is an entertainment source.

VIDEO: NBC??s Bid For Short Attention Span Viewers Gone?

Have we become a bunch of ad watching maniacs? Are we the people who forgo the actual Super Bowl game, just to watch the crazy new commercials? Well, I guess some of us are or we do have short attention spans, thanks to NBC Universal. In light of the success of previous Super Bowl ads and online ads in general, back in September, NBC Universal took a bet, and they rolled the dice for a lot at least 30 million?.
