Putri, facts don’t fly around here. Only [edited, once again, for vulgarity] can land and takeoff at this hub.

It seems as though this discussion has taken a different turn but I would just like to say that in no way, shape, or form was this an informed post. I don’t know where you got your information but it is false. Here is the truth:

I know for a fact that the famously hot movie was put together in less than one day for a presentation to the CVBB by an intern at ADCO, never was it meant to be plastered everywhere and never was it meant to be seen as an advertisement or commercial. It was merely a unique way of introducing a new logo. I know all of this because that intern is a friend of mine.

Hope this clears things up a bit…

Genius, you’re reaching. I’d love to hear where ripping off a video and slapping a plug for a revenue-producing website falls under fair use. Please educate me.

Right. I’m sure CNN, MSNBC, NBC, FOX News, etc. love the fact that their product is being branded with a website and given away for free. I’m sure that works right into their plan to increase revenue. It’s not even close to stealing. Right.

snead I see what you saying about the vod pod box exept the part where it says I collect with vodpod, meaning a colection, meaning not claiming to have made those vids or owned those vids. get a life and stop spamming other’s blogs you vaj.

I heart you too, S.A.V.

First, I wasn’t really making a “claim”. The “TPS’s Video Collection” box on the right margin is full of stolen videos. So… that’s more like a fact. But since it ended in a question mark… nevermind, you probably can’t follow this anyway.

As Scott points out, this is not an ad. If you want to cry over wasted money, why not look at things that matter? For example, how is it possible that someone gets paid to sit on their ass all day and write about [Edited because Snead can't follow rules] like this? Seriously. Because I need that job.

The Scoop’s editor would be perfect for state or federal government. He already has the “sitting” and “wasting time” parts down, now he just needs to figure out how to look busy.

“It isn’t a TV spot or a commercial of any kind”- quoting their blog.

Ultimately, I think getting someone to come up with an effective slogan for the City of Columbia is kind of like asking someone to coach Carolina Football- You’ll be paid well, but ultimately your work will be unnapreciated and you will be run out of town, never to accomplish anything of note again. And I love both Columbia and the Gamecocks so much. But lets be honest, coming up with a way to fill our convention center is a difficult proposition. I mean, why fly to Columbia for a convention? And pay $600 to fly? You can fly to, well, anywhere with convention space for less and actually see something cool. Here, you get a big confederate flag at Maurices BBQ. And you can’t even get “those little bottles” at bars anymore, to quote a friend from California.

I’m still looking for a point fogle, other than your panties get in a very tight wad when people spend money on anything other than sizemore security guards to protect you from the homosexuals that you’re so scared. But hey, you’re not gay, sister.
