simonstudionyc posted a photo: - Noah David Simon
I was struck by interest in a NYTimes article in which it was discussed how a generation of minors have become primary caregivers for the elderly... who more times then not were baby boomers. It was discussed how this effected their ability to go to school and live normal childhoods... as well caused them employment without pay where previous generations did not have these... more... - Noah David Simon
Break his damn leg!!! - William, CPU Media
lol... yeah. a lot of angst went into this drawing. I had to take care of this old hippie shrink about seven years ago. I could go on and on about this old dude. he would brag about his bisexual orgies in the Chelsea Hotel. something about having sex with Jim Morrison as well. and licking Lou Reed's boots. - Noah David Simon
Gosh, something tells me this is going to look like some of my former room-mates in Berlin, still sitting around in Kreuzberg, waiting for the revolution. Strikingly realistic! - Kittyburgers

Verizon boots 1938media over previous mistakes, boycott call - http://video.knbc.com/player...
What's not clear: were the videos in question ever on the phone, and second, surely if this was an issue, they would have done due diligence before the deal. - Duncan Riley from Bookmarklet
From the news report: "Verizon said the controversial video was never shown on it's vcast service, and was never intended to be made available." - Ken Sheppardson
The video in question was posted A YEAR AGO! Didn't Verizon see this coming? - Pat Hawks
Pat, my question exactly. Ken, I heard that bit, but then what were people protesting about? the context doesn't fit, how can you boycott something that wasn't there? - Duncan Riley
Someone found out about the video, a huge public protest happened, it would become a media circus because someone used a keyword "racism". So Verizon went nuts and said "Ohh we need to make a statement and do something now! Who cares what?" - Candace
Maybe people are just upset Verizon would do business with Feldman? - Pat Hawks
Verizon is full of shit. Loren is not a racist... I'm not going to stand for this PC crap! - Noah David Simon
ok, is it just me or did Channel 4 News spell "activist" wrong? acctivist? just sayin' - Christine Lu
Now, THAT's funny. - Michael Markman
It doesn't matter when the videos were made - much like it doesn't matter when a scandal arises over someone else's past behavior - like Obama's pastor & McCain's association w/ Gov. Williams. The behavior may be in the past - but the "guilt by association" is always in the present. Verizon clearly decided not to get behind Loren in this. Sometimes, your past does come back to haunt you. Even if it's not 'fair'. - Lucretia Pruitt
Lucretia, the thing that doesn't make sense is why Verizon didn't think about this BEFORE making the deal, sense the videos didn't just pop up. - Pat Hawks
Too bad the social media doesn't have the power of the mainstream media yet. Verizon could get a load of us calling "bs" on the whole thing. Though I doubt that will make them panic as much as this story did. ...It's terrible but, I'm laughing. Because this...this is funny. - Candace
fuck Verizon. ...bunch of pussies this is for @1938Media ...kiss it http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips... - Noah David Simon
I like the Rev Wright angle. That's double groovy with one and half twists. - Oldengrey (Jay)
I think video is racist. Verizon and 1938 is a different story but the video is racist. - Akshay Dodeja
Verizon is just a bunch of dolts wearing suits. If they didn't see it before it's because they didn't look for it. In other words: they didn't do their job. When they awoke from their slumber they were being pushed around by a bunch of hysterical PC ankle-biters. - William, CPU Media
Media Circus time-Loren gets to follow the elephants and clean up. - Mark Forman
this is for @1938Media ...kiss it http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips... - Noah David Simon
hahaha this is great. I feel like 'internet people' have a much healthier conception of racism. Taking tech nigga out of context could easily make Loren a racist. But it really started a conversation, which is what I think what Loren originally hoped to do. - Daniel Morgan
"Hello LA Humanity? This is Dave Winer. Did you know..." Have to say, glad to see feldboy getting nailed. Yep I am. - jeneane sessum
@daniel morgan . I'm sorry but your comment "internet people" I find degrading to those of us who use the internet. I am afraid I am going to have to begin a public boycott of Friend Feed since they are allowing you to be on Friend Feed spouting such degrading stereotypes of people on the internet. ...I guess the internet is serious business after all. - Candace
It appears things flared up over the weekend. I would just guess that in the wake of the announcement, the public started browsing Loren's back catalog. The video is linked to and/or embedded on a number of sites over the past few days. The earliest references to the boycott by Najee Ali, Project Islamic Hope, that I can find are from yesterday: http://tinyurl.com/5k4bxq and http://tinyurl.com/6s86yh. - Ken Sheppardson
damn it... time to kiss Jesse Jackson's ass! ...kiss it http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips... - Noah David Simon
Project Islamic Hope's last protest: June 10 : "Ashanti Should be Ashamed of Herself" http://www.singersroom.com/news... - Ken Sheppardson

There's a difference between the state quashing free speech and people using free speech to influence the financial dealings of a private actor. Just sayin', 'tain't censorship. Loren owes his success to controversy, but that's a double-edged sword. - Madsimian
Thanks for sharing this, Duncan, since I wouldn't have seen it otherwise, inasmuch as I'm ignoring Los Angeles local TV news, VCAST, and Najee Ali. Not boycotting, ignoring. - Ontario Emperor

@dani3l3 Historically in Europe, anti-Semitism is an early warning of MUCH larger conflicts to come: Germany 1930s, Spain 1490s, Russia etc
More like a foretaste. The *warnings* always go unheeded. - William, CPU Media
Anti-sem. was widespread in Europe from at least the 1890s through the 30s. Terrible, but it was common and more like an existing trend the nazis picked up on to use as one of the means (besides the financial collapse) to make people gather around nationalism, and then the enemies from the treaty of Versailles. Just saying as it´s been that common in Europe several long periods during history it´s hard to use as a very clear warning of conflicts (aside from that conflict in itself) I think. Just my 2 cents. - Thomas Bøhm
Hugh MacLeod
Heh. Europeans finally find a *good side* to globalisation. - William, CPU Media
Hugh MacLeod
@dani3l3 I am not convinced that Western Europe has really made up its mind whether Israel should exist or not.
I think WE's politics has made up his mind about Israel or it would be telling it to stop bombing innocent kids, but it's not. - Daniele Muscetta
W.E. *HAS* made up it's mind and the answer is NO. - William, CPU Media
it s been a long time Israel does not rely on other country specially Europe for its survival. I am not even sure your question makes sense at all - Ouriel Ohayon
Hugh MacLeod
@ChrisSaad Gotcha. My opinion: Anti-Semitism [of the Jewish variety] in England [and Western Europe] is going to increase lots, and soon.
The Continent is a cesspit of such stuff. - William, CPU Media
anti Semitism is not increasing or decreasing. it is always there. more or less visible. this has been true for thousands of year with or without israel. - Ouriel Ohayon

COMIC KATHY GRIFFIN LASHES OUT AT HECKLER WHILE ON AIR WITH CNN - New York Post
"Comedienne Kathy Griffin may be doomed to life on CNN's S-list after answering a heckler with a shrieking, vulgar tirade during the network's live New Year's Eve broadcast. "Screw you," she told the heckler. "Why don't you get a job, buddy? You know what? I don't go to your job and knock the d- - - out of your mouth." The raunchy exchange, which occurred well after the ball dropped at midnight, was received with guffaws by the camera crew." - Colide81 (James) from Bookmarklet
This is why I like Fox News. I don't see this sorta garbage on Fox. - Colide81 (James)

Wonder what Woz thought of that. - Roberto Bonini
This just in: The normally reserved and wall-mannered Kathy Griffin has been caught on tape saying something offensive on television! What shall the world do now that we've lost our collective moral compass that was once embodied by Kathy's gentility? - David Wynn from fftogo

My Way News - Oil falls below $56 on grim world economic outlook - http://apnews.myway.com/article...
"Oil prices continued to slide, to near $55 a barrel Thursday before rebounding slightly, as bad economic news from the world's largest economies heightened fears that a severe global downturn will slash demand for crude. By midday in Europe, light, sweet crude for December delivery was down 13 cents to $56.13 a barrel, after falling to as low as $54.67, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange." - Colide81 (James) from Bookmarklet
its interesting i'm reading hot flat and crowded by Thomas Friedman and most of the book is built around the cost of oil continuing to be over $100/barrel. Funny how things can change quickly - Jonathan Jesse
LOL sounds like his premise is wrong. - Colide81 (James)
Just weeks ago, lots of blowhards saw oil at >$200 along with a US dollar collapse. Structurally, it is impossible that markets *behave* the way everyone thinks they will. Being contrarian is often a good thing. - William, CPU Media
