Random Thoughts on Various Subjects

1. NOBEL BACKLASH

People are having a field day with the Nobel Peace Prize given to Obama in an overt political move and a lick to that fucker's ass. Last night, I watched as Rachel Maddow painfully made a case for Obama deserving the award. This is the same chick who ripped Obama a new one for his failure to live up to his promises on Gitmo and Iraq. What the fuck?!

Maddow has joined the Stupid Bitch Club in a big way. Despite being a leftard, I used to give her credit for being an independent thinker which I always appreciate even if I don't always agree. Now, she is simply an apologist for Obama live every other shit-for-brains leftard. Sickening shit. Stupid stupid STUPID ass bitch.

2. LETTERMAN

This news is a real yawner. That's because I have witnessed this sort of thing at every workplace I have ever been in. Men and women fuck. Put them together in any environment, and they will find a way to do the nasty. Biology trumps intellect. It is what it is.

What the world needs is less hypocrisy, and it won't come from less fucking. It comes from greater honesty. I have made my peace with human nature and realize that human beings are fuckbots no different than other animals. This is why I will never utter a wedding vow because that whole thing is a joke. Marriage persists because women desire money. End of story. Letterman's befuddled wife will put up with this shit because she is getting paid. Besides, there is always the poolboy.

3. LENO

The shine on Jay's new show has rubbed off. It is the Tonight Show without a desk. Does not play as well in prime time. OTOH, Leno has a way of surprising us. Basically, the show needs to elevate its game with the new time slot. It hasn't done this.


4. WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

This looks to be a brilliant movie. Great book for kids. I remember reading it and loving it.

5. YOUTUBE

Billion plus viewership. No profits.

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that content on the internet is not a moneymaker. The internet is a great distribution network for products such as what Amazon offers or the shit you can find on eBay or Craigslist. Businesses also use the internet to reach their customers. But strictly media companies are doomed. The internet has destroyed the record industry and will probably do the same to movies and publishing. It is very fascinating for economic minded people like me to watch.

If I was an entrepreneur, I wouldn't waste my time with internet ventures. You should not waste your time with media products. Instead, you should offer real products and services that exist in the real world and use the internet for marketing and promotion. The old media had an advantage because they offered their shit on a physical medium like paper, vinyl, and celluloid. The internet has vaporized those mediums. They are no longer necessary.

I speculate that this new non-material economy will create something new to go along with it--a new currency. The internet will develop a money that can only be spent online to purchase virtual products and services. A sort of barter exists already with link sharing, commentary, etc. The internet is already a sort of second life, so this new currency will fit right in with that. But I am speculating.

It is still a material world, and people will still need real things like clothes, food, cars, etc. These are forever. Reality never ends.
