You know the deal, no big posts, just bits and babbles…

Ernie Schenck blogs about how Wheaties may be left without their champion this Olympics. Why not Emily Hughes? Poor girl had almost no time to train for the games, and ended up giving the performance of her life. No she didn’t win a medal, but she did perform like a champion. While teammates Sasha Cohen and Kimmie Meissner expressed disappointment at finishing 2nd and 6th, Hughes stated that finishing 7th was ‘the best of the best’. She gets my vote.

Chris has been on a roll this week, as he details how successful he feels the movie industry has been in incorporating new forms of media such as blogs into their promotional efforts. Good write-up and it looks like it will be a series.

Adfreak made my day with this story of a few women that want to sue Clay Aiken’s record label for false-advertising. The reason? There are rumors that Clay be gay, and they feel misled. In their complaint to the FTC (seriously), the women state “This is tantamount to a manufacturer concealing information about a defective product”. Then a spokes….person…for the group added: “As consumers, we feel ripped off. It is obvious now that the private Clay is very different from the manufactured packaged public Clay that was marketed to us.”. I bet they are also AOL users.

Ryan commented to the KFC TiVo post that he went the distance and watched the ad, got the code, entered it into the website, and was promptly told that he couldn’t have the ‘free’ sandwich, because he was told he was ‘too young to participate’.

That’s nothing, KFC is too stupid to realize that this promotion sucks.
