The church is a haven for cowards.

Re: BREAKING: House Republicans walk out, refuse to attend emergency meeting about bailout

They are playing games with our LIVES.

These fuckers need to be kicked the hell out, and then put in prison.

Bail that out, freaks.

They're good. Unfortunately, Dems could never get that kind of unity, even when it comes to standing up to the WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

WTF, Obama?! Now's your chance to give Pelosi a good talkin' to. LEAD, baby.

Please.

This man needs to be president. NOW. We can't afford even four more months of these GOP fools.

Re: McCain says he'll veto every single beer. Really. He said it.

buddhaplex — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 18:02:32 -0000

Is he only going to veto imported beers? That would smack of xenophobia, and we really can't afford any more isolationist moves in our foreign policy right now.

Also, if he vetos with a Sharpie, is that an indication that he'd like a nicer pen for Christmas?

Re: "The DNC and the Obama Campaign are unified and working together"

This is fantastic. Having been a Dean supporter in '04...and now an Obama supporter in '08. This totally RAWKS! Best of both worlds.

Now about that Pelosi remark about impeachment being "off the table."

What say you, Senator Obama?

Re: RNC already circulating video of Hillary criticizing Obama

buddhaplex — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:05:36 -0000

This just weakens her argument for getting a VP spot on the ticket, as far as I'm concerned. How exactly do you deal with mutiny like this?

Thanks, Hillary, for being such a self-centered brat.

Re: AP: Obama will win the nomination tonight

buddhaplex — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:19:46 -0000

you're effectively giving her the attention you say she doesn't deserve by even commenting on her. Let her rant on in the corner. Even saying her name at this point is taking the attention away from the nominee: BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA. BARACK OBAMA.

ZOMG. WTF?

Re: Memo: Party rules require that FL and MI lose at least half of their delegates

buddhaplex — Tue, 27 May 2008 23:56:54 -0000

Can Hillary really hold her Delegates hostage like that? Seems a bit unfair to people who believe in a Democracy.

Whatever. Maybe she can start fighting it out with Holy Joe for the VP slot in McSame's campaign.

Re: Go away you horrible human being

There is no more time. I'm sorry if you think there is, but by prolonging this until the convention, McCain is virtually assured the Presidency. WTF is wrong with shrieking about it? Clearly, this C...linton isn't listening to reason. She clearly doesn't give a shit about the Democratic party. Screw her. WE need to kick her ass out. NOW.

Re: Go away you horrible human being

First of all, Disqus sucks ass. Next, Hillary Clinton is destroying this country. She might as well be McCain's running mate. Sit down, bitch! Let the real leaders lead! Enough already!

Re: Lindsay Arrested: Yellow Journalism?

buddhaplex — Sun, 11 May 2008 20:43:35 -0000

Not sure I think that's the right take on this one. First of all, who in the entertainment industry--especially the talent--doesn't have an ego? This does not mean that all of their actions should be suspect. I can see where you might think this was a ploy; but I think that it's admirable to see a journalist who is willing to take a stand if she believes in it.

True, the story was about the protests for Sean Bell; but it seems to me that Lindsay had a great angle: showing the circus that protests and marches have become in this country. I'll bet if you attend any protest that garners even the slightest media attention due to the "story", and you'll see more paparazzi than protesters. Why? Because that's what people watch.

People like you. And me. And I'm seriously sick of seeing it. It's pandering to our basest instincts, and the worst parts of ourselves.

Go on, Lindsay! Keep givin' em hell.

Re: Lindsay Arrested: Yellow Journalism?

buddhaplex — Sun, 11 May 2008 20:37:50 -0000

You rock, Lindsay. Truly. It's about time you taught your colleagues a thing or two about authenticity. The only other time I've seen it recently was in Anderson Cooper's reaction to Katrina; but that got cleaned up pretty quickly by CNN.

Keep on keepin' on. We're watching! (but I noticed Saturn didn't sponsor this segment...hmmm..)

Re: Ad Agency Gets Web 2.0! Can It Be True?

Max,

Thanks for this link. You're right. It is brilliant.

And regarding the institutional status of the agency: I actually find it to be a relief. Do we really need another CD posing as the only one at the agency that has these good ideas?

Re: Machines Threaten Advertising Grunt Workers

buddhaplex — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:45:56 -0000

Max,

I agree with what you're saying in theory, but in practice, I think that the human spirit always rises above the machines. There are things that machines simply cannot do, and that is to gauge the appetites of other humans. Also consider that the rate of new platforms, technology and innovation in this space is going to outpace a Google or Microsoft that will try to account for and automate the media buying process.

The post I just did after I came back from OMMA speaks to this in a way. What I think is that Creative needs to be Open Source. For media companies, that means that the traditional roles for media people are not enough anymore. Most likely because of the automation you blogged about here.

The more we can all take our inherent creativity to market, and share the responsibility to engage with each other (meaning internally and outwardly to the audiences), I think that's when we'll see the "next big thing".

And speaking of connecting, sorry we missed each other at OMMA.
