“The price of a thing is the worth it will bring.” I love that quote, but the reality is that “viral” video pricing has been less about worth and more about cost plus. If anyone should know the “fair market price” of a viral video it should be I — or me (depending on which…

great one Kevin! i have gotten a dozen of those kinds of calls..

3 prerecorded calls for the Mayoral race*
1 prerecorded call for the Senate race
1 live call from a company surveying what college I am likely to choose if I graduate high school
*one from the incumbent, two from other sources
No calls from W… I think he was all tuckered out from his call with Nalts, probably slept in…
