I love that this article is working the circles (thanks Maruhlynne). Seems the FTC is so keen on stopping companies from manipulating bloggers, they’re making the companies liable for stuff bloggers write if they get a free sample.
Or wait- here’s another idea. How about you just stop bribing bloggers? How’s that one fit?
Here’s a parody on the topic…
A videographer has fun frightening people in shower. The last one is the best. Via Metacafe.
It’s not the first year a Superbowl ad was produced by an amateur (source: Advertising Age report on USAToday poll). But this year’s $2000.00 commercial featuring a crystal ball getting tossed into a Doritos machine beat many of the Madison-created commercials. It’s a good day for companies like Poptent/Xlntads, which contract with amateurs to produce…
Online video collaborations are probably my favorite part of online video. Probably the first online-video creator with whom I developed a parasocial relation was the affable homeless guy from Texas known as Marquisdejolie. He has a blog. Google it (anyone catch that reference?). Via JibJab, here’s him break dancing with me, and songwriter-nurse-YouTuber, ChristopherMast. Before…

In ComScore’s Web video rankings for September, AOL topped Google as the property with the most video ads watched last month, with 3.7 billion views compared to the YouTube parent’s 3.2 billion. This is…

Hey, Pizzle, answer your e-mail. Dean and I need yer help.
You still owe me for those 172 times I mentioned WVFF at the mall….oh and for bail.
I say regulation is good. People shouldn’t be able to make false claims and not be held liable.
Does that mean a sponsored blog is as effective as a sponsored video? Hell no. And a video has the edge there as it is far harder to misconstrue sarcasm when you are actually able to use a sarcastic tone.

Did Marylin just say she copulates?
