Of course it will be on FOX

April 8th, 2009

According to the AP, Fox will create another reality show that invovles kicking someone off. But this time, it will be based around the economic climate.

The Fox network is making a reality show titled, “Someone’s Gotta Go,” out of the troubled economy, and lets co-workers decide who gets the axe.  Each week, a different company lays off an employee.

Uh, isn’t this show just called “CNBC”??

Awesome Programming Sponsorship, Volvo

November 18th, 2008

Who could ask for a better ad placement. I want to go buy a Volvo right now.

Here’s the short version:

And the long one, in real time, for dramatic effect.

Good Looking Graphics, But Not Quite Accurate

November 14th, 2008

How far? How fast? Nice stats, Analytical Graphics.

Big Bang Blunder

November 10th, 2008

Ok, so this is nitpicky, but since it popped into my head, I figured I’d share it.

What are a bunch of professional nerds doing with composite video running to their LCD? Where’s the component and HDMI connection that any self respecting hi-fi nerd would have? I smell a Monster Cable sponsorship opp.

No Love for Dell’s Music Player on Fast Money

Obama Wins!

November 5th, 2008

Nothing more to say. What a moment.

Will.I.Am Hologram

November 4th, 2008

Oh, jeeez. Do we really need this much technology in our news? Sure its cool, but c’mon. NBC doing the green screen columns with Ann Curry walking around 3-D graphs is just ridiculous, but this hologram crap may be a little too much.

Awesome Camera Work, MSNBC

October 17th, 2008

This fantastic camera work definitely highlighted the seriousness of Rachel Maddow’s top story tonight on MSNBC.

Keith Olbermann Rant

September 10th, 2008

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann flat out rips into the republicans on the eve of 9/11.

MSNBC Great On Politics…..Most of the Time

September 5th, 2008

....from what state?

....from what state?

Here’s Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams interviewing former PA Governor Tom Ridge about John McCain’s speach at the RNC.

….except the graphics department didn’t get the memo.

Hughley and Ventura Call RNC Nazis on Larry King

September 3rd, 2008

Both of them mention “nazis” as part of their post-convention interviews with larry king.

Drinking on the Job in Gustav Effort

September 1st, 2008

I caught this little gem on MSNBC. They were reporting on the efforts to reinforce one of the levees that was about to breach. I guess the folks on site felt like it was under control.

When you’ve just stopped a levee from breaching, saving hundreds of homes, its Miller Time. (Ok, its a bud light, but you get it.)

NBC Gets Its Money’s Worth

August 24th, 2008

Ridiculous. Talk about interfering with the scene. Shit like this makes me laugh. Is this “branded entertainment” or “brand integration”??? Can’t wait unil someone pitches me that idea next.

Right over the Olympic flame. Isn’t it bad enogh we have to see these permenant watermarks on every channel we watch already? Couldn’t go “bottom rght, huh?

Biden Rocks, Too

August 23rd, 2008

More fun to look forward to on the campaign trail.

Awesome Freudian Slip

August 23rd, 2008

Couldn’t help but laugh when Obama said this……

I’m a Biden guy, so it was music to my ears.

More Olympic Crap

August 15th, 2008

Despite being able to tape delay any event they want, NBC cuts away from a ridiculous american comeback in beach vollyball to the women’s 200m backstroke? sure it was a medal race vs the round of 16, but I hardly think the extra 5 minutes would have upset anyone. in fact, after getting pumped from the beach vollyball win, i might have actually cared. instead, I’m just annoyed.

Olympic Opening Ceremony…How many people live in China?

August 8th, 2008

If Costas or Lauer say “China’s 1.3 Billion people” I’m going to puke.

Home Run Derby Crap

July 14th, 2008

Yeah, yeah. Josh Hamilton has a great comeback story. But Jesus H. Christ, enough with the coke and heroin story. And then after Justin Morneau wins, they still interview Hamilton first? Are you fucking kidding me?

John Kruk just said, “This is one of those derbies where nobody remembers the winner.” Nice.

What would you pay for this kind of advertising?

April 23rd, 2008

What are the odds? Can it be a coincidence? No F’in Way.

How in the world do the three people standing directly behind Barak Obama during his speech tonight in PA are all wearing T shirts from the same brand? I’m going with ZERO.

However they worked it, nice job A&F.

Update: Who knew that we were on to something this big? USA Today got to the bottom of it.
