Good Deeds in Vegas

I told Roxann to document something while she was out in Vegas for St. Patty’s day. She came back with this drunken endeavor of helping the streets of Las Vegas to party harder and act nicer.

Good deeds Roxs… Definitely good deeds indeed.

Legislation + TV Ads

Posted on June 11, 2009 by hydle

As if we don’t have enough government involvement in our lives. Congress is getting involved with the volume level of TV commercials.

I think California house representatives should have something better to do with their time. But the broadcasters are responding…

“Broadcasters and advertisers want to set their own standards, in which a commercial would be “loud enough that a reasonable person can hear it, but not so loud you can hear it in Mongolia,”

– Says Dan Jaffe, the executive vice president for government relations of the New York-based Association of National Advertisers.

Does anybody even watch television ads?
Here is the story for those board at work.

Hello Conan

Posted on June 1, 2009 by hydle

Mark this day in history. Conan O’Brien took over the Tonight Show on NBC with celebrity interview Will Ferrel and musical guest Pearl Jam.

I thought the show was a shoulder shrug “ok” with video segments that were too long and too repetitive, but I will always remain a happy Conan viewer.

Conan Intro:

Song = Surrender – by Cheap Trick

Johnny Carson’s Farewell Episode = 41.4 million viewers.
Jay Leno’s First Episode = (trying to find)
Jay Leno’s Last Episode = (8.8/20)
Conan O’Brien’s First Episode = (7.1/17)

Bachelor Mark – Episode 3

Posted on June 1, 2009 by hydle

Had a hamburger with Bachelor Mark today while watching episode 3 of ABC’s Bachelorette. The only thing more annoying then actually watching the show, is watching it with people that need character explanations from previous episodes.
