I'm Protesting!

Friday, January 15, 2010

I'm sure most of yall have heard of the big 'Conan - Leno' fiasco. But just in case you haven't, here's a quick recap:

Jay Leno, who used to host "The Tonight Show' somehow (I'm not sure if he quit, was let go, or the contract ended) got the chance to host another interview-type show that would air at 10pm. When Leno moved, Conan O'Brien got the job of host of "The Tonight Show" which airs at 11:35pm. Well, ratings went down for Leno, local affiliates complained and NBC decided to move Leno and his current show to 11:35pm thus bumping Conan to 12:05 and poor Jimmy Fallon to 1:05. This has caused an uproar at NBC. Leno is making Conan the butt of jokes on his show and Conan certainly responds by poking fun at NBC and Leno.

Here's a clip that'll give you a taste of it:

Conan is now saying he's quitting if they move his show back. I don't blame him. It's unfair. Leno needs to actually retire like he originally said and go drive all those cars he's got.

Looking at this situation from a public relations view, this is killing NBC. Not only are their own employees insulting each other, Conan and Leno are also saying some pretty awful things about NBC. This is killing NBC's image. They now look like some thoughtless company who disregards contracts and employees' opinions. NBC better figure something out quick, because their reputation is slowly degrading and I think they're losing fans.

In my own way of protesting, I have decided not to wear the red NBC shirt I bought when visiting NY a couple of summers ago. They will get no free advertising out of me until this is all settled in a more respectable way. Shame on you NBC.

And I'm team Conan.

So I've been driving/riding all around Charlotte a good bit these past few weeks and have noticed this strange little thing people do. When crossing the street, sometimes a person notices a car waiting on them when they're just about in the middle. So they then pretend like they speed up by throwing their arms in some circular motion that makes it LOOK like they are running. But in fact, they are still walking, their arms are just swinging faster.

It's so silly. I laugh out loud every time I see it. I crafted together a little video that will demonstrate exactly what I'm talking about:




Anyone else seen this? Or do this?

I'm going to go with Deni

I'm a little embarrassed to share the same name as this guy. Well, at least it's spelled differently. Check out this "rapper." You'll know why I put it in quotes once you watch it. I fast forwarded to the second verse, it so much better than the first, believe it or not. Enjoy!



Sad thing is, he's still making music. Poor thing. He just recorded a new song which can be found here if you feel so inclined.

Oh, and don't shoot hoops until you eat all your fruit loops.

Good for a few laughs

I’ve been busy studying for my finals this past week or so and it doesn’t end until next Monday. I’m so exhausted after my Public Relations exam and Nutrition exam I had today. Goodness. Let’s just say creating an entire Public Relations plan for the Beaufort Water Festival is not an easy or quick task.

Everyone around campus is itching for summer that is quickly approaching within the next few days! Especially today when the sun finally decided to shine and it was over 70 degrees! Woohoo, except I was stuck inside studying.

Although my head was buried in my notes I did allow myself a quick break with one of my favorite youtube videos. I guarantee it will make you laugh. It’s broken into three 9-minute parts, but each gets funnier and I PROMISE you will laugh. I came across these videos a few months ago but I can’t remember how; You’ve got to see it.

It’s “Brother Barrys” first time preaching…and possibly his last? I’m not sure.
Let me know what you think.

All I have to say is “Plant that seed. Plant that seed. Shamanamana dama ni hiya.”

Oh, and a little shout out to Uncle Buck (Don’t try and take any this stuff he’s preaching….haha).
