What if they softened his name by adding "Lucifer" to it?

Re: Blogs are so over, Wired magazine says

Cris Cohen — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:56:52 -0000

It sounds like Boutin is just lazy. Yes, there are bad blogs out there. There are bad examples of everything out there: twitter pages, Facebook pages, books, movies, albums, etc. It will always be that way. But if you take the time and put in a little effort, you can find great blogs out there.

Yeah, I always love alcohol that you pour out of some skeleton's ocular cavity. And I'm looking forward to his guacamole served in a glass pelvis.

I think it would have been funnier if they had bleeped the swear words, like in the original version of that Bud Lite "Swear Jar" commercial. However, I will be waiting to see if the company comes out with a "F***in' Financial Report".

Re: Jerry Yang to leave Yahoo! — Madd0's Tech Blog

Cris Cohen — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:45:15 -0000

In a sign of how things are going at Yahoo, I'm betting his email to employees didn't make it past the Yahoo spam filter and now sits in everyone's junk mail folder along with ads for hair restoration creams.

In a way it seemed stylish and in a way it looked like she just finished a paint ball war.

Just think of the advertising. "Speaking of runs, Taco Bell has something they want to give you!"

Re: Tiger Woods Dumped By GM/Buick In Matters Unrelated To Financial Crisis*

Cris Cohen — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:09:53 -0000

I'm guessing this means that GM is now looking for budget celebrities, like someone who was an extra in "Law & Order" or some sort of trained animal. "General Motors: Now accepting less than the best."

It must have been like putting in a Sesame Street DVD for your kids and seeing a message warning that "the following movie contains adult language and some nudity". Most people were probably too shocked to move.

Cris Cohen — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 12:47:27 -0000

Yeah, you'd think she would be a natural at this. After all, any woman who has been photographed out on the town without underwear on obviously has no problem letting her guard down.

And maybe that could be the theme for this new endeavor. Britney's New Underwear-Free Twitter Page. "Because nothing comes between me and my fans."

Cris Cohen — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:45:45 -0000

I think the line "Whether the economy is good or bad, make smart decisions" has a Warren Buffet quality about it. I recall reading a line from him where he said one of his advantages over his competition was that they believed you weren't supposed to think about things.

Acting without thinking leads to:

> Merrill Lynch

Amazing hypocrisy from Howard Stern. If he continues like this, topics for future shows will be:

> Talking pictures: A fad.

> The Edsel: A car with staying power

> Any day now kids will give up on rock and pop music and just want to listen to accordion solos.

Cris Cohen — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:20:52 -0000

It reminds me of what I read about how the Dave Matthews Band and Hootie & the Blowfish initially got the attention of the big labels. Basically their independent albums started outselling the major label albums in the local music stores. I can see how grabbing some audience here and some advertisers there on your own could lead to larger audiences and larger advertising deals.

I think there are also hybrids out there. For instance, Mike Myers once described himself as a site-specific extrovert. Offstage he is quiet and reserved. Onstage he lets loose. Again, though, whatever works for you.

It's funny when you compare presentations like this to the ones the auto industry executives are making before the government. Compared to Gary, those guys have the vision and communication skills of a toilet plunger.

Cris Cohen — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:04:59 -0000

I've noticed that most self help books and business books tend to sell the illusion of quick and easy victories. "How to build a Fortune 500 company in just 10 minutes!" As a result, they tend to have the quality and insight of something scratched into the wall of a public restroom. I like that Gary does not sugarcoat things. If he wrote a business book, it would probably be called something like "The Long, Painful Road to Success". The title alone would scare most people off. But it would be worth reading.

Re: BusinessWeek on America’s CTO gets to top of TechMeme

Cris Cohen — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:11:22 -0000

Well, you could argue that this last year America experienced a kind of system crash. If nothing else, I think that day the Dow dropped 800 points was the equivalent of getting the blue screen of death. So if you look at things that way, a Federal CTO would definitely be in order.

Re: Should Yahoo’s Jerry Yang Resign?

If Yahoo! is still as impressive as Yang says it is, the company should just put itself up for sale on its own auction site.

He really knows how to make people feel welcome. It's a wonder he hasn't been asked to write for Hallmark Cards. "To my darling wife. Just looking at you makes me want to vomit. All my love..."
