Will ESPN’s Local Sites Help or Kill SB Nation?
2009-09-23 14:20:00 I’m a big fan of SB Nation, as I’ve said time and time again. Off the top of my head, I probably have around eight or nine SBN blogs in my Google Reader, and I read most of them religiously. I’m also on record as saying ESPN should try to buy them, which I’ve had thrown back in my face recently now that ESPN is spending a lot of money on its local sites in Chicago, Boston, Dallas, L.A., New York, and who knows how many others down the road. This is obviously a huge threat to SB Nation, considering that their primary value right now is their local analysis (they’ve started angling more toward national coverage, particularly with their new homepage design, but that is a massive uphill climb, and I’m not sure they’ll ever really win with that). But ESPN’s new local focus may also be the greatest opportunity they’ll ever have. Here’s the difference between ESPN and SB Nation: one is a “professional” site, with profe...

Obama Comes Clean On Healthcare “We Don’t Want To Kill Grandma, We Want
2009-09-08 16:38:00 (Washington D.C.) Yesterday, in advance of President Obama’s health care address to a joint session of Congress, the White House released the text of his speech. One paragraph involving the controversial death panels has caught the attention of the nation. My fellow Americans, let me make this clear, the federal government does not want to kill your grandma. There will be no death panels for her….But make no mistake, there will be death panels for your grandpa. We, the government, want to get rid of that tired old man, so that we can date your grandma. Because let’s face facts, she’s still got some tread on that booty, and we want to drive that booty all the way to funky town.

Obliging Social Media for the Sake of it Can Kill a Brand
2009-08-03 19:53:00 The problem with buzzwords is that they some time become an excuse used by people to show work. What’s there to be done anyway, you create a social network profile, follow users on Twitter, go comment on blogs and we are done. The client knows this is work because it is a buzzword and though they mgiht not know it, they probably wouldn’t mind playing with it. All this is good, until you see the results of these social experiments. The other day I was aghast to see a case study on social media for a medium to large sized brand based on a celeb ambassador they have. 2 digit followers, following nearly 300 and 1 update. We can forgive the follower/following ratio it’s not easy getting it right, but one update and then putting a screenshot of it on a presentation showcasing SMM is blasphemy! The client in all probability might have gone home happy thinking about how they adopt new technology and media so well. However, it has left a gaping hole in their brand’s p...

The NBA Players That Would Kill On Ustream
2009-07-22 16:54:00 Last night Stephon Marbury had the world going crazy with his really entertaining Ustream show. I wasn't watching from the start, but when I jumped in, I felt like I was at home. This is where NBA players need to be. I love them on Twitter, but I really love them on Ustream. So who would kill on Ustream??Michael BeasleyI picked Beasley because he's already on Twitter and I think he'd tell crazy stories. The great thing about Marbury's show was how he would take a question and spin it in a way only he could. I think Beasley has those same skills. If you watch this interview, you see what I mean.He'd be funny, crazy and interactive. That's what makes an NBA Ustream'er worth while.Ron ArtestEveryone wants to see Ron Ron get on Ustream. I don't really have to explain why it would be golden. Remember his video blog? That was amazing itself.

Wear a Red T-shirt. Bring a Red Flag. Help us fight these lies- we can’t do it without YOU! My pitch? We produce our own documentary infomercial. Using humor and intelligence, we could craft quite the response to Silencing Christians. Of course, it’d be in good taste – although I’m not above a cameo where I flash my ta-tas or explain why tolerant girls are hotter. Besides, a program put together by Equality Florida and St. Pete Pride would be a better response than standing around in the heat, waving signs and shouting slogans. Although. Shouting slogans *is* a great way to get laid. And...

TV Did Not Kill The Newspaper, How Will The Web Do It Then?
2009-07-13 07:40:00 At the outset I would like to remove any negative connotations that the title of this post might get associated with. This post is not going to talk about how exactly the web can kill the newspaper industry, or what digital media enthusiasts should do to try and execute such a stunt. On the contrary it questions the majority view that in the near future digital media will cause print media to bleed. Among many other things I want to say in this post that print media is not dying and it will probably be a long while before it does. The reasons for the flow of thought are evident from the history of broadcasting in India and the numbers present today. While print media is certainly the grand daddy with a history that dates back to 1780, it has evolved from its weekly and monthly editions to the daily diet that it serves every morning to millions of Indians. The first major competition that it faced obviously came with the advent of television in India around four decades back. Televi...

I Could Kill Someone
2009-05-13 17:54:00 If you are threatened or battered to the point where you must take out a restraining order, and then the bully or batterer violates said restraining order, you should be able to kill that son of a bitch with no threat of legal action whatsoever. Period. Let me be very clear - I’m all for gun control. Armor-piercing bullets and automatic weapons were never what our founding fathers had in mind when they included the right to bear arms in our constitution. And you know it. But I still think guns are the best form of protection. Concealed weapons are even better. You should be able to carry them, with few exceptions, everywhere you go. If the idea of a nervous, armed citizenry scares you, then maybe the world would be a better place if we had professionals in each city willing to pull the triggers for us. A co-worker heard me talking about this the other day and looked confused. “Aren’t you a liberal?” he asked. “I am.” “What kind of liberal t...

Did CanuckCare Kill Natasha Richardson, Redux?
2009-03-29 01:33:00 Earlier, I said no. Now I inclined to believe that Canada’s health was not helpful to the late Ms Richardson. Ingrid Perez, Globe and Mail, offers a pretty good time line. I am less than impressed with the four hours it took to get Richardson to a trauma center. On the counter-point, Max Harrold, Vancour Sun, argues “Socialized medicine didn’t kill Natasha Richardson, says doctor.” As for me, if Barack Obama wnnts to go north of the border to seek his medical care, such is his right and choice.  However, I say leave the Canadian healthcare systerm where it is, north of the border.

Can Not Kill Me
2009-03-18 00:24:00 So, I have been struggling, a little bit, this last week.I have been sick. Started with a sore throat and progressively got worse. Then Sunday, I realized, that I had pneumonia. Stayed home from church and made plans to go the the doctor on Monday.By Monday morning, I was in pretty bad shape. So, my husband stayed home with me and I called the doctor. My doctor was on vacation. The office called me back and told me that another doctor would see me. I was more than a little grateful.The doctor had x-rays done and sure enough...pneumonia. He gave me some of those super antibiotics. And sent me on my way. Had the prescription filled. I was in such a hurry to get this medicine in me, I took the pill in the car.I have had pneumonia many times and know that when that first pill takes effect, I will not be in any more pain. So, I was excited to swallow that first pill.A half an hour later...My head is getting hot. Then hives. Huge hives. I called the pharmacy and was told "G...

God said to Abraham kill me a Son: Kierkegaard?s ?Leap of Faith?
2009-03-05 02:49:00 Abraham was told to sacrifice his only son Isaac on Mount Sinai. He followed God?s order and set on a three-day journey to commit the deed. Nonetheless, when Abraham is about to stab his own son, God stops him through an angel and declares He has been satisfied with Abraham?s behavior and particularly his faith. Kierkegaard uses this example to illustrate his definition of faith. Faith to him is not an easy or convenient matter; it implies pain and sacrifice. It is not enough to simply ?believe?, but it implies effort and recurring action. It would not be enough to go to church every Sunday or to read and study the Scriptures. To him faith includes suffering and being ready to renounce what is meaningful to one?s life. It means wholly embracing faith in a world where it would seem an absurdity to do so.Abraham?s example helps us to illustrate his point. Abraham was told to act on faith and to sacrifice his own beloved son because God asked him to do so. At first glance, it seems an...

Will Octomom Kill TV News as We Know It?
2009-02-20 20:13:00 Thanks to Nadya Suleman, TV news divisions across the country are faced with an interesting quandary: How do you cover Octomom without ticking off viewers? Obviously, the name of the (purportedly) human baby factory is on everyone’s lips… but the one thing practically everyone seems to agree on is that they don’t want to see her get a dime she doesn’t deserve. (Or a nickel, for that matter. Pennies are OK.) Several networks have publicly said that they would not pay Suleman for an interview, yet we’re willing to bet that sooner or later, someone — whether at one of the major nets or a smaller, hungrier outlet — will fork over big bucks for an “A Day in the Life” type story. How will viewers react? While we suspect millions would tune in, any outfit paying for a Suleman story would no doubt face widespread outrage — and worse. Our friends at howrudeareyou.com recently received a comment from one visitor who is trying to organize a boycott of any networ...
