Tis The Season !

Kudos to my friends at adbusters.org for the reminder.

This cannot be happening.

Catwoman. The Batman Catwoman, not the 2004 Halle Berry flick. It's been done. Now we want to cast Anne Hathaway in the role? Julie Newmar, Ertha Kitt, now who?

Thai Flooding and the PC marget

The annual Thai flooding has been particularly bad this year. Economically it will have a more devastating effect than the killer season of 1983.

The human tragedy is far from over. As manufacturers look at their losses, many are quickly shifting production to other countries.

Many of the jobs lost will not return.

World hard drive production has been hit the hardest - see http://www.wired.com/cloudline/2011/11/thai-flood-could-send-a-wave-of-ssds-into-the-cloud/ For details.

It's all about knowing your target audience.

Failing Memory

Maybe it's just me. I can't recall ever seeing Rocky or Bullwinkle eat. Sure, Bugs Bunny, Popeye and Wimpy, and even the Road Runner ate (only when fed by the coyote).

And what about those super heroes? You'd think we would see Aquaman munching a shrimp - and Superman!?! We never once saw a kitchen or even a microwave in the Fortress of Solitude. You'd think that Jor-el and Lara would have packed him a sack lunch.
