easter

so yesterday was Easter and i was just thinking about how we celebrate these "holy" holidays with fictional characters like Easter bunnies and Santa clause. do you think Easter is just another consumer holiday now? i am asking this because i know many people recieve gifts on easter and most people go out for brunch and are more willing to spend on these holidays, and the companies are willing to market towards it too.

hey guys, just stopping by to bring something up about sports on TV, and in particular the NCAA tournament. if you have never attended a live game then you might not notice the amount of TV timeouts so that the channel broadcasting the game can make money. in an NCAA game there is a TV timeout every 4 minutes at a stoppage of play. when you are watching this on TV you may not notice this because you are so used to it. when they are going into one of the timeouts the announcers usually say that there is a break in the action. just something to keep an eye out for next time you are watching a game on TV.

NCAA

while watching the final four tonight on TV, i could not help but notice all the miller lite commercials and "brought to you bys" for beer. i went to the east regional games in boston last week and they refuse to sell alcohol at NCAA events. just kind of ironic that the games were being brought to me by miller light yet if i were at the game, i could not even drink one.... interesting

hey all,
so ive been on youtube recently and have noticed something new and ANNOYING. this new feature is the addition of ads on top of the video you want to watch. i found this so annoying because if you plan on clicking on a few clips in a short amount of time, you then need to keep Xing out of these ads that cover part of the video. anyone else a little upset about this? how bout we keep ads on the banners of the pages. youre thoughts...
