We're about half a decade away from the Fall of the Roman Empire. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/2677174741239564245/?src=hsr#130835 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:38:31 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/2677174741239564245/?src=hsrs#130835 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/2677174741239564245/?src=hsrs#130835 @Chris B: We're not going to talk about 90th percentile. You know why? Because it's boring. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsr#130834 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:55:54 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130834 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130834 Reminds me of agencies who like to talk about all of the Fortune 500 clients they have. But is the work any good? http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsr#130833 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:46:55 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130833 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130833 I'm only 21 but think i fall in with the grumpy old men crowd, rubin. Sick of people who's life seems to revolve around what celebrity's are doing. Take Peter Andre and Katie price bullshit we have in Britain. Sad bastards! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/6567751343371966158/?src=hsr#130829 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:19:50 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/6567751343371966158/?src=hsrs#130829 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/6567751343371966158/?src=hsrs#130829 Radio is strong because it's easy to use. Background comfort. No effort. And it's free. Busy people just like to have the radio on while they are doing something else. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsr#130826 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:39:31 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130826 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130826 Man, you can't write this stuff. Bob, your experiences belong on a cable channel sitcom. Very funny. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsr#130825 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:52:15 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130825 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130825 Brilliant...I completely agree...and I'm a fashion designer...countless times I'm asked what celebrities do I dress...my response... "I would hope, as any other physically able mortal... that they would be able to dress themselves!!!" It makes me ill... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/6567751343371966158/?src=hsr#130823 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:23:22 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/6567751343371966158/?src=hsrs#130823 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/6567751343371966158/?src=hsrs#130823 I'm a radio listener in many ways because there actually some brilliant radio programs out there now. Radio Lab (over the air), BBC Documentaries (podcasted) This American Life (PRI-Over the air) and WireTap (CBC-podcasted). There's even a brilliant show called "The Age of Persuasion" from CBC that I think the AC might enjoy. Then there are shows that are Podcast only like Dan Carlin's Hard http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/2677174741239564245/?src=hsr#130822 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:49:51 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/2677174741239564245/?src=hsrs#130822 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/2677174741239564245/?src=hsrs#130822 I am proud to nominate this Facebook status by the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Those guys, they're trying so hard: "Philanthropy.com Help us crowdsource iParticipate by joining our live blog about how TV shows are highlighting volunteering and service." The best part is that the whole iParticipate thing was basically declared a flop a few days later. http://tinyurl.com/yktzq2c http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsr#130821 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:34:14 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130821 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/adcontrarian/1367850741511154165/?src=hsrs#130821 But Tom Cruise is trying to free us from the evils of Xenu so that all living humans can be in the "clear". Isn't that a contribution to society?
