Does anyone really talk to their brooms and mops? In an informal survey of daytime tv advertising, companies seem to think the public has an average IQ hovering around room temperature. What makes a successful advertising campaign with you?

I think many people confuse stories about when "their" candidate does something wrong as biased. As soon as their candidate screws up, it's biased coverage. It is also impossible to balance every story, every issue. During something like the Monica Lewinsky affair, there just wasn't enough positive news to ever balance the coverage that Clinton was getting.

Anyone like the juxtaposition of the pitch black restaurant and the need for extra small condoms? Just trying to package the news for those that may need extra small condoms. Those condoms will be $3.99 plus tacks. Plus tacks, you mean tax?! That's to help them stay on Mr. Patel . . .

Since we are talking "most valuable",. I'd go with the one inning wonder . . . I still get goosebumps. That was an effort worth remembering.

Linky NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many Indian men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated, an Indian study has found.

Enemies of our enemies are our friends. The list of people we have backed is truly embarrassing today. I know in some cases it is the lesser of two evils, but during that era we really picked some bad men to support.

The lines have been blurred on both sides, reporters and consumers. The consumer actually is showing strong trends for not wanting pure news. They prefer to find a news show that mirrors their values. Fox News didn't gain ratings because they are fair and unbiased, they appear fair and unbiased to conservatives. Other networks appear fair and unbiased to liberals. Evil and I could watch the same truly unbiased news show and find bias all over the place, but each would be pointing to different stories. More interesting is I've read more and more where people claim they get all their news from Rush, Air America, or whatever. And, (speaking for shows like Rush, Hannity, etc.) perhaps getting news in this fashion isn't the worst thing in the world. The issues are complex, so packaging the news story with an editorial and tossing in letters to the editor is convenient and fast. And that is basically what talk radio shows are. Here is the news story (front page), here is what we think about it (editorial page), and here is what the public thinks (letters to the editor). Getting back to this style of reporting, beginning forty years ago ratings became important to network news. No longer was the news departments insulated from any monetary pressures. Then the world started to change. Entertainment value crept in. A truly unbiased newscast would get zero ratings. The language would be so neutral it would sound like something that FlaSoxxJim would read to his grad students to put them to sleep at night. Conservatives would think the news was too liberal, liberals would think it was too conservative, and both would be right. And to the KoolAid question. I'm not certain of the subject, but if it was something he said, then in fact he did make the koolaid. That would be accurate. Read all the accounts of the Monica affair. If someone screws up,the article will not appear unbiased. You have to report negatives as negatives and positives as positives.

Just wondering how many people here have a cap from another mlb team besides the Sox. I honestly think the last non Sox cap I've owned was a Cleveland Indians cap from when I was 9 and played on the Indians Little League Team.

I need to pick up a battery for my laptop and so far there is about a $60 swing from high to low online. Anyone have a source for laptop batteries they have used? BTW, for almost all computer parts I prefer newegg.com excellent source.

I wonder if the Aide is covering her ass and avoiding the child and or parents coming back and claiming she rubbed her chest on the boy. Sucks that people have to be this careful.

They definitely give you roundabout directions. new christmas gift on my wish list.... GPS. Same potential problem with GPS, unless the road information is being updated for repairs, and potential weather conditions, they are less than perfect.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 05:11 PM) Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy. Everyone wanted this election to turn to s*** and guess what.... Pathetic. It's like a wedding war now that Rex isn't running.

Yeah! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I tried to be excited

Tossing a different log on the fire, the whole first ballot, second etc ballot thing is crazy. If they aren't hall worthy on the first, what exactly do they do to be hall worthy on their next ballot? Hit for a better average? Toss a couple more no hitters? Geez, GMAB.

on-line mapping may have contributed to tragedy http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/faul...5081119464.html Linked above. I live in an area where the on-line mapping software always shows a much longer and slower route, so I know there are inaccuracies and always double check a couple sources.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 02:21 PM) I've made a decision. This "election" is poisoning the atmosphere in the Filibuster - for whatever reason. So we're gonna call it a night here at the Kickass camp. There's no reason for fussin and feudin and fightin. At least about this stuff. I'd rather fight about how awesome the Democrat Congress is going to be. And clearly it's going to Roxxors your Soxxors. Is striking and not running part of some promotion for a made-for-tv movie on Lifetime?

I assume they are fishing for good addresses, but why do spammers send out nonsensical emails? It's just gibberish. example: [/size]

It's a shame that people jumped into this with no intention to follow the format or finish the process.
