alrighty, Go

I misrepresented that name intentionally so that everyone would get the idea, but without me getting a cease and desist email from that organization....

Right out of the gate:
I am glad that OKG didn't post their video to Youtube because as silly as it is to call Facebook the underdog, they are just that when it comes to video consumption and I am happy to see their power challenged. If course Youtube will get less business now, but they have planned for that when they essentially raised their price of doing business. The changes will make Youtube more powerful than ever, and hopefully reduce useless videos because some will choose not to post unless they can get views.

Obviously the travel company should have honored the contract, but I can't say I am not impressed that they got away with breaking that agreement. I, myself, am working towards a BS degree, and I can respect the struggle.

perhaps, however, it was a mistake, and the band was just cutting them a break out of goodwill....but I doubt it pretty heavily. There are mistakes, and  then there are gaffes. This was pretty obvious, so I think it was intentional. I bet the liner paid off the band as a settlement and ended the whole issue before they became the center of an online battle. If you made it this far, you are crazy. This is a boring read to be sure.

    I kind of think it is cool that they didn't pursue a legal case against the airliner. I wonder if having the airliner release the video earlier helped them get even more notice. Thanks for your post.

Anthony....well you know

Weiner... There, I said it.  Anthony Wei... we'll say W... was the popular Democratic congressmen who put the D in DM. It is probably best for everyone that he took his talents to the slammer. After warming up by sending nude photos of himself to an underage female (nobody was surprised by his choice of crime since he has the most unfortunate name since "Deez Nuts" the mystery candidate from the 2016 presidential primary elections in North Carolina who took 9% of the popular vote) he then finished the job by denying that he had done anything like that, and said the images were not from him. More media pressure and exposure lead him to come clean about his actions and he was sentenced to spend the better part of two years in the only place dirtier than his Twitter account. For months, the only subject people saw on the nightly news was Weiner-related. The cover-up became the story after the story fizzled, and the lack of honesty fueled the already hot fire. The story wou...

Miracle Matt POST 10

"The beauty of capitalism is that it can be as ugly as the human imagination can conjure." THIS POST IS FOR ALL THE HATERS WHO WANT MORE REGULATION "Give me one reason to stay here" -Tracy Chapman In regulated markets and bureaucratic organizations like government, university, or your restrictive parents in high school all activities are monitored by what is acceptable and what will "pass" For these reasons, the previously-mentioned organizations and many like them are constantly outputting a bad product that nobody wants. Very few millennials will spend as much money on anything as they do towards college. With all that funding, what are the results? Are they spectacular? Nah... We spend so much time learning that failing is bad, that we never really learn how to fail correctly. We teach that if you mess up an assignment, you have lost the grade, been shut down, or otherwise regulated out of opportunity.  The free market is a treasure trove of opp...

Ponderize

Not the Durantula you were thinking of. Anyone who is from SLC or has been to that place during the general conferences of the church can see that there are groups of people who are lurkin' for church members to make a mistake which they can put on a sign and hopefully spell correctly. So I am clearly full of bias on the subject, and low on sleep so my rant to follow will hopefully not be personal. Everything is personal. Buckle up, I guess. This is not a stimulating blog prompt. There are so many things which would be interesting to discuss, but this is, I hope connected to some topic of coursework other than the fact that it was proliferated by social media. Of course it is wrong to try to profit from people who are explicitly part of a faith which represents itself as lay. Possibly people were happy to pay that amount for swag repping their pop-culture connections, and maybe these people were providing a product which was good for the price. Clearly the people wanted th...
