WWJWD? Even he's not 100% sure.

Oh, Joss Whedon...how is it that you can manage to lift my spirits and break my heart all at the same time, and you don't even need to write anything? All you have to do is talk



...though seeing eighth-season-of-Buffy-in-comic-form in March is just about the best birthday present I could ask for. Unless everyone manages to scrape together enough money to get me a new tattoo (hint, hint.)

Mooninite Madness: Update 2

So here's the Myspace page of one of the guys that got nailed in the Boston ATHF marketing scare. If you've got the time, send him an email showing your support.

As for me, I'm still split on this whole thing. Mainly due to the fact that, even though the campaign was an awesome idea for an awesome product by some pretty awesome people...in the end viral marketing is still marketing. When pseudo-hip all-too-self-aware advertising starts popping up, it's usually the more clever element that calls it out for what it is (best example I can think of is Sony's PSP graffitti ads that started popping up on walls in cities and were immediately sniffed out, and subsequently pwned, by real graffitti artists.)

In Boston, however, clever does not seem to be the watchword, as I got to see on CNN yesterday during some of the interviews with several Bostonians, who will hereby simply be referred to as "chowdah-heads." Seriously, how is it that this same campaign has popped up in several other cities and none of their citizens managed to shit their pants and call Homeland Security. Now why is that? Hmmmm...

Thing is, it seems like this project was something that somebody would have done anyway, at least this way they've got the weight of Turner Broadcasting to help haul their asses out of the fire...unlike those Super Mario girls last year (interestingly, if you scroll down on that site, you'll see some Super Mario Blocks hanging from a tree in Cambridge. I wonder if those girls got nailed too, or if folks tend to run a little more reasonable on the other side of the haahbah.)

Finally, once again, anyone that ever uses the term "Post September 11th world" really deserves to be punched in the nuts. Bottom line.

Drop those sweatpants and prepare your ignorant ass for a Moon spanking!

I forgot to include this with my last blog, but it's definitely worth wasting 3 minutes of your oh so valuable time.

Rrrrg! I don't know how to start this entry because every time I about the article in question, I just seem get so angry that I have to stop thinking about it and close this window (of course, it doesn't help that every time I start to re-write, someone comes into my cubicle with another problem.) I'm not gonna go into the specifics, suffice it to say that "Post 9/11 blah blah" means "Such things as 'creativity' and 'common sense' have been put on indefinite hiatus"


So, here's the link http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/31/boston.bombscare/index.html


Resist the urge to vomit and/or kill yourself when you get to the part where these guys are getting brought up on felony charges for this. Like I needed another reason to hate fucking Boston...
