It's what we do. :)<BR/><BR/>Jason brought up an interesting point in his original message about the survey concerning how feasible such findings could be in the first place. The survey itself seems a little unscientific to begin with.Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14955198622421067159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042066.post-41334999961716954522009-04-01T20:49:00.000-04:002009-04-01T20:49:00.000-04:00first of all, zomg!

Fact.<BR/><BR/>second of all, I'm pretty sure ChristWire was also the host of the most hilariously awful Coraline movie review ever. Interesting site, that.<BR/><BR/>third, as someone at a women's college myself, that wellesley survey kind of ticked me off- I'm hoping it was originally just about sexual health on campus or something, but the out-of-context responses to it have just been varying levels of misogyny. just cause a college girl's not a virgin doesn't mean she's easy, and also, regardless of major, you have to be studious to make it somewhere like Wellesley. I don't mean to be overly critical or anything, it just rubbed me the wrong way- the comments on the linked-to page itself were way worse. though I don't know where to start with Josh up there.

Ma...Re: SyFy: First off, those movies are awesome. Manskeeto and SS Doomtrooper were incredible works of science fiction. I am seeking funding for my thriller “Big Pig” (practically writes itself) and a friend of mine wants to make “Clam.”<BR/><BR/>Second, I am glad for this reaction from SyFy. It is completely stupid in terms of marketing. You never turn away your core audience. You always maintain your core and expand your audience. Marketing research is very clear that retention is far more valuable than new audience.<BR/><BR/>So why am I happy? This is part of the television death spiral. In a death spiral inappropriate overreaction is a late stage development. <BR/><BR/>Recently I gave up TV or rather I gave up paying $75 bucks a month for nothing. The 4 shows I actually watch I get on hulu or another medium. Movies I get from Netflix and if I just want to throw something on it is netflix streamed on xbox. Television is dead to geeks.<BR/><BR/>The problem is that the Internet cannot currently sustain the making of origional content. Here is where SyFy fits in. The movies are relatively cheap and one shot productions. And a large percentage of the audience is on line. And now, disgruntled.<BR/><BR/>Time for some clever entrepreneur to step up and gruntle them.<BR/><BR/>So anyone looking for a script, I can finish up “Big Pig” pretty quick. Also I have a line in on a script about a giant killer clam.<BR/><BR/>Re: Girls Gone Wild: If you are a freshmen kid trolling for tail, girls in your age group at college are the wrong mark. First off, they are all looking at older members of the student body. So of course you could take the same tact and go after high school girls. The issue is that this is seen as immoral and illegal. Besides they all suffer from inexperience. And do you really want to have to train them up?<BR/><BR/>No, your prime target for sex should be grad students. They love NSA sex and they usually are quite skilled at the act. Hot, extremely caffeinated, older women who have ex boyfriend issues and need a quick lay before they finish up their thesis at 3 am. <BR/><BR/>Your other chance is targets of opportunity. No matter how geeky and/or obese and/or bizarre and/or socially maladjusted you are sooner or later you will run into a chick who is into you. Oblige this interest by banging the flaps off her.<BR/><BR/>And if you are looking for love? That's cute.BG Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365955683054597711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042066.post-49736190012122801752009-03-27T22:41:00.000-04:002009-03-27T22:41:00.000-04:00I've done computer work for the AFA back when they...I've done computer work for the AFA back when they had a constitutional law group attempting to make a national religion, rebuild slavery, and send most of us to concentration camps.
