I wanna try this!

Cool take on the web, where it’s been and where it is going.

As most know by now, a really cool marketing campaign has been thrown down the drain because of the paranoid city of Boston. A bunch of little neon signs with a cartoon character were randomly hung throughout the city promoting a cartoon on the Cartoon Network. The city freaked and was pretty much shut down for an afternoon fearing a terroist attack was about to happen. The funny thing is that this campaign was also going on in 8 other cities with no issues what-so-ever. What is wrong with people? Are we really that paranoid? Should we be? Now, Tuner Networks is going to be paying the City of Boston $2 million in compensation for the cities idiots. I don’t know why this bothers me so much but it does. Oh and those little cartoon neon signs are now going for over 2grand on Ebay.

Every year and every week the TV ratings for American Idol get higher and higher. I don’t really get it but I also don’t care for or watch the show. I’d like to see a special episode aired this Sunday up against the Super Bowl. I think it would be an interesting test to see what sort of punch the show really has. Anyway, that’s my random thought for the day.
