Rage Of The Unpaid: Don't Invite Angry Freelancers To Your Magazine Party [Email Disasters] (3)
on
Gawker (389) permalink
Hip Hop Weekly is an execrable, half-assed attempt at a hip hop version of Us Weekly. HHW was founded a couple of years ago by Dave Mays and Benzino, the guys who ran The Source into the ground through sheer selfishness before being forced out. Suffice it to say there's no reason to have a sympathetic view of the magazine's existence. Which makes this epic email fuckup on their part—reprinted below!—that much more enjoyable: HHW, ...Contribute comment - Richard Cohen - This Debate's Biggest Loser - washingtonpost.com (1)

Rafi's shared items in Google Reader (6) permalink

Nothing like a good 12-yo hamburger (7)

kottke.org (1235) permalink
Karen Hanrahan shares her favorite prop that she shows parents in her Healthy Choices for Children workshop: a McDonald's hamburger purchased in 1996 that still looks like it did the day it was made. People always ask me -- what did you do to preserve it? Nothing -- it preserved itself. (via wider angle) Update: Looks like the post got taken down for some reason? Server getting a little melty maybe? Anyway, that hamburger was ...Contribute comment -

Conscious of the branding value such mentions can bring, some artists have gone so far as to approach companies with offers to include brand and product names in their song lyrics. A e-mail from the Kluger Agency, which ...Shared by aerobroken (656) Andrew Meyer (26) Dan MacKinlay (26) Fred (21) Jorge Wagner (54) Katie (45) Rafi (7) simonpure (0)- simonpure said: "It was hilarious," Lambert told us via telephone, "that he wanted to put Jeff's fake Second Life sweatshop company in a pop song. It's this desperation that advertising has come to because you can't just tell people about your product anymore, because nobody cares. Advertisers have created this situation where they've made themselves obsolete. There's too much advertising out there, so they try to find new ways to cut through the clutter that they've created. And this is one of those ways."
