Unexpurgated Idiocy
InsideRadio.com posted this announcement in yesterday afternoon's edition...
The FCC can immediately slap a one-time indecency fine of $325,000 on an offender.Just like that - Bush signs the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act this morning and fines go up ten-fold. There's a $3 million cap for a continuing violation. NAB's Dennis Wharton says the industry prefers "responsible self-regulation" - but failing that, thinks the standards should apply "equally to cable and satellite TV and satellite radio."
Note that last sentence from Wharton. RadioZombie has been saying from the beginning that cencorship ...er... excuse me, "decency" would be following the "King of all Media" to his new satellite kingdom, and it looks like the royal assassins were on his heels faster than even I imagined. Here's the "official" document.
How about a "Presidential Decency act?"
World War Z
The world o' radio can stay brain-dead another day while I share a link about a what sounds to be an excellent zombie-movie-in-the-making.
Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio were apparently in a race to win film rights to a forthcoming book by Max Brooks, author or The Zombie Survival Guide. The new book "World War Z" should be released this fall, and is an apocalyptic story set 10 years after most of humanity has been transformed in flesh-eating zombies. Read the article here.
YES!
In preparation for the upcoming 'war', here are some survival tips per Max Brooks: Top 10 Lessons for Surviving a Zombie Attack
- Organize before they rise!
- They feel no fear, why should you?
- Use your head: cut off theirs.
- Blades don't need reloading.
- Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
- Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
- Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
- Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
- No place is safe, only safer.
- The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.
Seth Godin is Wrong
The bald-headed guru is usually right. This time he's wrong -- about Mark Ramsey usually being right, that is.
Mark Ramsey is usually wrong.
He's just usually adept at obfuscating.
He'll start out with a statement that is completely wrong, contradict his stated position in the middle of his blog post, and then flip back to his original argument but use his contradictory stance has the example of why he is right.
(I mean -- geez, dude. Pick a side on HD Radio, will ya? Hint: It's gonna bomb.)
This time he's wrong about "Podcasting" having a bad name.
Ramsey's best suggestion is "AudioMag"???
Puh-leeeze!
Why saddle a burgeoning technology with the name of one that's near death?
Godin nails it in his post, and I'll attempt to drive the point further...
Podcast refers to more than the audio device that spawned its popularity -- "POD" can (and does) denote the seedlings of ideas they distribute, their portability, the fact they are pieces of a greater whole, and can be assembled in any number of ways to create a user's custom experience.
Think Portable-On-Demand (POD), don't strictly view it as some Apple iBrand.
