  2. I have to say I am happy that you acknowledged that the graffiti story about a week ago was regrettable. The segment showed a person spray painting an industrial metal door with a pesticide tank and hose. At that time, I wrote that I thought your decision to show graffiti as an interesting and harmless activity was in bad form. Sony should be fined for their promotion. It reminds me of the Microsoft butterflies that some gorilla marketing company put all over mid-town sidewalks about 3 years ago.

    With regards to Bush/Cheney, here are some numbers to reflect on:

    2,124 American Soldiers Killed in Iraq2 War

    $300BB spent on Iraq2 War

    $8BB tax break to oil and gas industry

    $242BB tax breaks to Millionaires, while during the same time:

    5.4 MM more people slipped into poverty

    46MM have no health insurance

    Bush is an incompetent leader and needs to be impeached.

    And let’s not forget that none of this would have happened if Nader would not have run for President in 2000 in order to feed his ego.

  3. I was curious to find out if there’s any confirmable basis for the news about the PSP graffiti. There’s been a discussion going on at Flickr as to whether the graffiti constitutes “selling out”, or if it could still be seen as art:

    On the other hand, someone there has recently posted a link to a Wired article that lends a bit more credibility to the claim of a Sony payoff. The graphics themselves are pretty clever, but when you see the same joke sprayed many times over, it loses all charm. I say the whole thing spells another minor PR glitch in Sony’s large bag of PR glitches.

  11. Amanda keep working in this way I like your work. Jonathan from Berlin — nun was kann ich Dir sagen auf deine oben genante Meinung. Man sollte motivieren anstatt schlecht kritizieren.

    Oh hell no! Last time Amanda let one of the viewers do her hair, she ended up with Princess Leia cinnabons. ;)

  16. I saw the Christmas light show that you presented a while back being presented on NBC’s morning program this morning… looks like you guys scooped the big boys again!

  17. It seems to me that your little show will rake the sony corporation over the coals for buying advertisement in the form of graffiti because they are “big business”, but you will bend over backwards to promote firefox. Who really knows if you are not getting kickbacks from the mozilla group to increase downloads of their software. And what happens if mozilla get too big for your operation, will you find some other small group to pit against mozilla. keep up to soso work, if you really call this thing work.

    Merry Christmas and Happy new year.

    aumn … even if RB get kickbacks from mozilla, it’s certainly more legal than graffiti.

    Moreover, I’m not sure you understood the right way what RB said about that today. Go back to the video.

    I know it’s hard to criticize cleverly RB … good try ..
