I recently looked up their review of Madonna’s Confessions from 2005, and it was rife with misogyny and ageism — of course, written by a man — because Madonna had the audacity to exist at 47 years old and release a record. That site was always a problem
I worry people are truly unaware of how much nursing homes/memory care cost. I’m talking life-altering amounts of money, hundreds of thousands, for those that pay for it. It’s better if your parents hang on to the $ to pay for their elder care, if they have it at all. Many don’t.
Call me crazy but I don’t think we should celebrate the “record in stealth” messaging, let alone tout it as a product feature.
introducing Waves, camera glasses for creators.
record in stealth. livestream all day.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Recording other People and on Private Property without knowledge or consent is illegal in many countries around the world, including the US.
“Stealth” Recording people is also a crime in much of the world.

It’s Upfronts week which means it’s time for a reminder about some industry lore:
Years ago Vice Media’s Upfronts invitation said “Upfronts are better than reacharounds.”
Say what you will about Vice but they were always on-brand.
So, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
You need to calm down
You're being too loud
And I'm just like ("Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh")
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on our gowns?
You need to calm down
Conan makes the best ads and he really outdid himself here.

Assuming this was a real ad (unclear if it is) and if Y&R still existed, it could have rebooted the concept with an “AI can’t cry” tagline. AI can help creatives but it can’t fully replace human creativity, etc.
Ad agencies, advertising themselves. Y&R, 1964. "A computer can tell you how old she is. It can tell you where she lives. But a copywriter like Greta Nissen can tell you what makes her cry. Or laugh. Or buy." #advertising #adsforadagencies
It’s been heading in this direction for a while now, but 2023 is the year that showed a lot of business models in media and advertising can no longer continue operating as they have been and cannot continue to structure themselves they way they do. Thus consolidation
Conan’s narrated ads on his podcast are always good. In his Super Bowl Miller Lite ad he said he’d throw himself out a window if he was at a party without Miller Lite.
And for a LinkedIn B2B ad, he said “you work in B2B, nobody knows what you do.”
Let the man write more ads
This is so funny and feels like parody but I assume someone is out there trying to do these product placement inserts with AI. Gonna be terrible.

BIL: they don’t show taylor much when the Chiefs are losing.
This man packed 200 years of living and wisdom into 65. Today the Irish and its diaspora mourn a king.
“Mazzari said that he’s reached out to Applebee’s to try to nail a promotional package, but without any luck. ‘I will take my business to Chili’s if it comes to that,’ he told SFGATE.”
He brought new life to Man on the Street interviews, give him what he wants
