Gorillas
Before I get to the AD OF THE WEEK/MONTH/WHATEVER, I need to get something off my chest about the box office gorilla, Titanic. If you think I’m going to bore you with the myth :they could have fit on the door but Rose just wouldn’t share,” then think again. It’s been proven (somehow) that they could […]
NSFW: At the Baghdad Cafe with Margrét, My New Favorite Amazon Model
Very little has shocked me like Volkswagen’s “Luv Bug” commercial did this past week… Basically, the spot goes something like this: Over Dean Martin’s brilliant rendition of “The Birds and the Bees,” the ole “if it’s a rockin’ don’t come knockin'” adage rolls through the first ten seconds, complete with foggy windo
A Little Closer to Hell…
You won’t be seeing this guy on the Oscars Red Carpet anytime soon… I’m watching another Hollywood career move to life support as Harvey Weinstein’s atrocious behavior is coming to light with a never-ending barrage of A-listers leveling allegations of sexual harassment ever since The New York Times published their exposé. I mean, when Oscar winners
Getting Social at the Emmy Awards
Past Media Guy Emmy Columns: 2016 – 2015 – 2014 Okay, so where am I? I’m at the Microsoft Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles taking in the 69th Emmy Awards and trying to get one of those drinks loaded with bitters that Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are sharing. No luck. Speaking of luck…last year […]
The Opera of Orgasms
Okay, so where am I? I’m preparing for an other trip…and another surgery…yeah, getting old sucks. I’m also prepping for the Emmys on Sunday. I got a new lens to break in. You know I’ll post pictures. Stephen Colbert is hosting…more political humor. Ugh! I’m thinking Louis Vuitton for the red carpet. Yeah, that’s the […]
You Can Lead A Horse to Water…
Okay, so where am I? Sistine Chapel: God creates Adam I’m at the Vatican and anyone in the advertising game will tell you that this is probably the last place you want to be potentially facing the wrath of God for all of your past sins stretching the truth and checking the Federal Trade Commission […]
The Birth of Venus
Dartmouth says that “personal diversity” means entertaining many different kinds of experiences in your own, daily life. It goes beyond the ordinary diversity in which we find ourselves surrounded, like it or not, with people who offer us counter narratives. Personal diversity means filling our days with activities that don’t match up with what we […]
Che Palle!*
Okay, so where am I? I’m at the airport having a rather pointed conversation with the Alitalia desk manager about the upgrade to business class I just paid for my trip to Rome where I may or my not be going for a short film shoot. Although I paid my $950 to gain entry into […]
The Most Racist Commercial Ever
I don’t begin to be an authority on race relations or all things racist. After all, I’m a white guy who has a decent amount of education in a white collar job. According to the masses, making it America is right up my alley… …however, I do have just a little expertise on the the […]
KELLOGG’S: You Should Have Called The Media Guy!
Surfing around Amazon today and I came across an oldie but a goodie written by yours truly: European and American Paintings and Sculptures 1870-1970, in the Australian National Gallery Hardcover – 1992. Yeah, you can buy the book on Amazon but the $1800 price tag might scare you aware from this out-of-print beauty. In a […]
