Revamps are NOT about Relevance


Today's NYT has an article about corps "revamping" familiar franchises in order to make them "relevant" to the mythical iPhoneperpetualtxt'n'kewltweenerdemo.

Filled with such *yawn* inspiring quotes as:

Even Mickey Mouse is getting an update, although the Walt Disney Company is still mulling what tweaks to make.

“I love classic Mickey, but he needs to evolve to be relevant to new generations of kids,” Robert A. Iger, Disney’s chief executive, said in an interview.


Which we seem to hear about every 5 years like clockwork these days.

The real reason behind such obviously wrong-headed revamps is not at all about "out of touch" execs failing to reach the kewlkidz, it's that the corps are desperate to maintain all possible TM and Copyright as they can, just in case crazy people like Cory Doctorow and Larry Lessig ever succeed in educating Congress on the purpose of Idea Limited Monopoly Law. (Don't call it Intellectual Property. Once you do that, you've all ready lost the fight.)

And so, they tweak, change, revamp and register just to make sure they end up with something more to own.

And we get to suffer through "Loonatics."

Life on Uke



Great song.

Greater BBC series.

Let's hope the US don't screw it up too much. At least it will have Colm Meaney, best Star Trek actor EVER.

Vcr police considering charges over online ad offering baby girl for $10,000

Vancouver couple arrested for putting baby up for online sale

Don't Ask! Just Buy Them!

Note To Scottie Mac



The time to come forward is before the bombs, bullets, death and destruction; not five years too late.

"The Iraq war was not necessary," he concludes. "Waging an unnecessary war is a grave mistake."


Waging an unnecessary war is not a grave mistake. It's an abomination. Like your soul.

Your mom must be so proud.

Happy Memorial Day, Grima.

This Week in Memery



The "shocking"-Craig's List/Ebay-listing meme runs into the brick wall of the no irony zone as a German couple are arrested after posting the following on Ebay:

"Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches (70 cm) long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller," police quoted the ad as reading.


And the AP, as usual, runs the piece as a straight news item.

Now, color me insensitive, but this reads more like tired parental joke than an attempt at infant marketing...

just goes to show, airports ain't the only place you should not joke.

UPDATE: missing from the initial AP wire story:
Tanja, has insisted that the whole scheme was simply a joke in very poor taste.

"I would never give up my beloved Merlin," she said in an interview.

"On the contrary. I just did it for a bit of fun, and simply wanted to see whether someone would actually reply to the offer."

Police failed to see the funny side of the auction however, and baby Merlin is now in the custody of regional child care services while the investigation continues.

from the Telegraph.

as I thought.
