Life is hard.
The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I'm happy to let TiVo know what I watch, and which ads actually catch my eye.
It's the only way I'll be heard.
I wouldn't object to my tv habits being tracked, but the equipment might overheat when one of the boys in my house has the controller. They don't know about my evil commerical skipping ways because I still use VCR.
la la la don't hear any ratings stuff la la la
I am not a Fox executive and am therefore clueless as to what the plan is for Drive. My head would surely explode if I tried to think like a Fox exec, so I shall not try. I plan to watch next Monday. I rarely plan my life so far in advance, but hey I may give this life planning thing a try.
Tivo's viewer tracking is far more detailed and comprehensive, but advertisers subtract those numbers from the larger Nielsen ratings because Tivo-ers don't watch the ads.
I read somewhere or saw on the news that more DVR folks watch ads then expected and advertisers needed to worry more about ad placement (first or last have high watch rates). it was interesting & unexpected.
Somebody made a petition to keep Drive: [link]
Oh, Christ, NO.
What next? Sending Impalas to Tim's office?
How about fuzzy dice?
A few days ago somebody suggested flooding the Drive offices with toy cars. It has imaginary, that's for sure. The petition is filed under Human and Civil Rights. Each two years I want water, a toliet, and a Tim Minear show.
The petition is filed under Human and Civil Rights.
I know!! That part amuses me greatly.
In browsing, I just found this petition: [link]
Oh man. I am presuming everybody on the internet ever has seen that.
