Know Howard Lindzon? Well my head of security found him roaming the streets of New York and asked him some questions.
Did you have enough of Jeremy Wright after his 2 hour chat with Beyonce last week? I hope not because here he is again, this time with a Blog Herald interview.

Wait till Scott Karp learns about your site. He’s going to love it!

chartreuse, have you ever changed your mind?
My advice: either stay small, or never shift your opinion on anything. Because when you’re a small blogger, changes of mind are just that. But when you’re bigger, playa haters will call it hypocrisy.

I was surprised to learn that this add was actually run in Canada. My thoughts on it? Reminds me of Total Recall.

I think the TechCrunch issue is a little more than changing your mind. He said a product sucked but after they started advertising he changed his tune. Suddenly the product got better.
No one cares if someone changes their mind. The real question is why?

chartreuse: if you’re interested in “why”, a good place to look is the comments of the post you pointed to.
BTW, you called changing your mind about ads “shenanigans”. I’m sorry, but even if the reasons are purely monetary, that’s a business decision, not shenanigans, and not hypocrisy. (And it’s totally cool with me that YOU changed your mind on ads.)

Howard Lindzon is a handful. I almost had to use the mace on him. Still might have to.
June 21, 2006 at 4:18 pm
You don’t scare me.

Hey chartreuse, thanks for the link!
Wow! Sometimes issues really do have legs…
Check out the update, Action: Boobs, Booze & Boycotts.

The Techcrunch and Betterthanbeer threads were more or less complete wastes of time. When did everyone become so catty and self-righteous? What a bunch of jerks, ALL OF EM!

>>>Wow! Sometimes issues really do have legs…
Yeah, and sometime ads have three tits, and yes such an ad is stupid, crass and creepy, but so are bullying, self rightious, thought police like you and your minions.
If that political poet thinks Prince is a political correctness advocate, she’s seriously deluded.
Have you actually read this blog?
How did you like Hot Chick Weekend? Pretty empowering, no?

Got ‘er!

Hey, I don’t care who reads my blog: morons, sexist pigs, or dweebs who get kicks out of harassing women. They tend to add fuel to the fire. I’m just amazed that one fat feminist with hair under her arms can see her blog stats multiply 100% in 24 hours. So again, thanks for the link.
June 22, 2006 at 1:26 pm
It was good link bait… gotta give her props for that, Andy.
June 22, 2006 at 2:06 pm
That’s the thing about some “feminist” girls. They get offended so easily.
I’ll take actual power over that “self-empowerment” “feminist” nonsense any day.

You go Candice!

In the printed May issue of The Straight here in Vancouver the same three boobied woman appeared. I looked and then kept turning the pages. Someone, however wrote a comment to them questionsing their motive and then asking when the blond guy with three dicks would apear.
I agree with range that it reminds me of Total Recall. What the wonders of and oxygen depleted Marsian atmosphere and photshop can do.
June 22, 2006 at 5:45 pm
Uh, Candice, Sister…empowerment is actual power.
June 22, 2006 at 11:05 pm
So who’s *Brien* Kalsey? Long lost cousin of mine, perhaps? Thanks for the link anyway.
June 23, 2006 at 6:02 am
Adam,
I just love that cousin of yours! His blog rocks!
[sorry for the typo. I'm an idiot. But I got it right everywhere else!]
