‘Bridezilla’ YouTube video: many debate legitimacy
Wednesday, January 31, 2007
A new video on popular internet video site YouTube has raised a question: Is it fake or real?
The movie entitled Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out that was released on the 18th of January shows a woman who is going to get married within hours, but instead she cuts off all her hair.
First, the woman, named Jodie, who has just got her hair done at the hairdressers’, comes back to a hotel room where three bridesmaids are doing last-minute preparations. She runs in and falls to the ground screaming that her hair is ugly. They try to comfort her, but that isn’t enough for the so called “Bridezilla”: she cuts off her hair with a pair of scissors while the bridesmaids watch, taping it all on video camera.
The video, which is still on the main page of YouTube, has been watched over 2 million times. The person who posted the video, wigoutgirl, claims to be 25 and from Canada. It is speculated that the video was shot in a Toronto, Ontario hotel room.
Some YouTube users are saying that it is fake, some say it’s real.
Accidental email brings product placement agency under fire
Sunday, September 21, 2008
An email accidentally sent to Jeff Crouse of the Anti-Advertising Agency recently brought the controversial techniques of the advertising firm Kluger Agency under fire.
“I’m writing because we feel you may be a good company to participate in a brand integration campaign within the actual lyrics of one of the worlds most famous recording artists upcoming song/album,” the email read, offering to place Jeff Crouse‘s fake brand, Double Happiness Jeans, into the songs of popular artists. It was posted on his blog along with a reply that mocked Kluger and brought ridicule and criticism against Adam Kugler and his agency. According to Crouse, Kluger emailed him once again to claim it had been an automated email, and later requested that Crouse remove the post and comments criticizing himself and his agency, threatening a $150,000 lawsuit against Crouse for defamation.

Kluger Agency is known for advertising brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Mercedes-Benz, and Nike by inserting the brand names in the songs of popular artists like Mariah Carey, Black Eyed Peas, Fall Out Boy, Pink, Lady GaGa and Ludacris. Kluger, founded in 2006, represents over 170 corporations and focuses on well-known record labels.
Kluger and his PR team have come forward defending the advertising techniques, stating that they do not have songs made just for the products in question and do not infringe on artistic integrity. “Now, we don’t want an artist to write a song specifically to promote a brand, we just feel that if it’s a product that’s admired by the artist and fits his/her image, we now have the capability of leveling out the playing field and making things financially beneficial for all parties involved,” he was quoted saying to Wired.
However, the agency’s website shows video examples of its product placement, with brand images and names often being repeated, pointed at, praised, or being the basis of the song. The website also advertises that “a successful ‘brand-dropping’ campaign will imprint [the] brand name and product into your market’s subconscious”.

If you think that’s cool, you can also do the same thing using your tablet or smartphone. You can turn on your sprinklers and even send messages to your appliances. All you need are switches and a wireless radio frequency to get all these programmed and going using a computer.
The walls you select for your home are critical because they will provide an envelope that will seal in your heat and cold air thus reducing your costs on energy for the life of your home. Your house needs to use framing techniques that are advanced and the joints should be the kind that seals in air.

Latham quits as Australian Labor leader
Tuesday, January 18, 2005
AUSTRALIA —Following hospitalisation for pancreatitis and ongoing speculation about his leadership, Mark Latham has resigned from his roles as leader of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and also the Federal Member for Werriwa. He cited as reasons the media harassment, and a desire to put his family and health first.
Mr Latham became leader of the ALP just over a year ago, on 2 December, 2003, leading the party during the October 2004 federal election. He was hospitalised in the run-up to that election, also for treatment of pancreatitis. Following the defeat of his party, his leadership increasingly came under question.
He fell ill a second time almost simultaneously with last year’s Indian Ocean tsunami disaster. His failure to issue a statement on the tsunami drew criticism from the media and calls for his resignation from within his own party, even after it was revealed that he had been incapacitated at the time.
Mr Latham’s resignation sidesteps the possibility of a leadership challenge by other members of the party and leaves no clear successor.

Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Reports are emerging that eight people suspected of hijacking the 4,000-tonne Maltese registered vessel MV Arctic Sea have been arrested by the Russian Navy, and are being detained on the frigate Ladny.
Russian Defence Minister Anatoly Serdyukov confirmed that none of the detainees were members of the crew, and had boarded the vessel after approaching in a small dinghy, “using the threat of arms [and] demanded that the crew follow all of their orders without condition”.
The vessel was found on Sunday off of the Cape Verde Islands, following over a week of searching. The vessel was previously last seen off the coast of France near Brest. There was much speculation as to the whereabouts of the vessel, after it did not arrive in Béjaïa, Algeria as scheduled on August 4, 2009.
The ship is said to be carrying a cargo of Finnish timber that is worth $1.8 million.
According to the Estonian Security Police, among those detained were four Russians who were naturalized Estonian nationals, two Latvians and two Russians.

Are you looking to hire entertainment for an upcoming corporate event in Manhattan? If so, you will have a range of choices. However, you should know that not every company that offers corporate entertainment company in Manhattan is that you want to work with. There are a variety of different companies out there that offer corporate entertainment in Manhattan and by using the following tips, you will be able to find the right entertainment company and plan the perfect event for your business.
Plan Well in Advance
Nothing is more frustrating than finding the perfect corporate entertainment option then finding out that they are not available for the date you need them for. Because you want to make sure that you can book the right entertainment when you need them, it is a good idea to book your entertainment well in advance. This way, you can be sure that the entertainment you want will be available on the date of your event.
Know What You Want and Plan for Your Audience
Another thing that you will want to make sure that you do when looking for corporate entertainment is to know what you want and to plan for your audience. For instance, you may be looking for a corporate entertainer who is funny and entertaining like a comic, especially if you have an adult audience. However, if you have a lot of children who will be attending this event, a comic may not be the best choice as they can be a bit “adult” in their presentation and children will not understand any of the gags and jokes that comics typically use.
Plan a Budget and Stick to It
You will also want to make sure that you know what your budget is and more importantly, that you are sticking to your budget. It will probably be best if you simply know what you can spend from the start and only look for entertainment options in that budget range. That way, you won’t spend a lot of time looking for these entertainment options that are out of your budget and can focus on those that you can afford.
These are only a few tips that can help you to find the right corporate entertainment for your upcoming event. For more information, reach out to a corporate entertainment provider.
