Showtime’s Babass Homeland Premiere

ByNalts
Homeland's pilot is free online. That's badass, friends.

Hats off to Showtime, which not only secured a full takeover ad on YouTube to debut “Homeland,” but ran the first episode free on YouTube. No ads, no punitive actions ala Hulu if you fast forward or rewind.

That’s just badass, and an amazing marketing strategy. GIVE AWAY your pilot, friends. And you get free trial, and press (like this).

10/14/11 Note: Bastards pulled the video since

So here’s the deal, Claire Danes… I’ve been meaning on writing you through Michael Aglion or Carol Bodie. You’ve GOT to read “Welcome to the Jungle” by Hilary Brody. You’ll have an easy time getting the role correct from a Homeland perspective, but you’ve got to master Bipolar. Give that book a shot for inspiration.

Watch the whole Homeland premier from this blog and you’ll get a free piece of cheese.

ByNalts

This collaboration video by YouTubers (in which I’m included) is a great example of the power of YouTube’s community. When Xgobobeanx was given the runaround by Mac, her frustration led to this video. As I said in my clip (which appears at the end of this clip), “Apple has an obligation to treat every customer…
