Coming up with the next iteration of the “world’s biggest ball of yarn” doesn’t seem that groundbreaking.
And there was a mustard revolution… Grey Poupon.

yes, i guess what i do not like is advertisement. product placement is idiotic.
if i need something, i go and get it… but i do not like to be told what i need.

Bill was in marketing himself by the way he presented himself in his acts. Clearly you understand the joke behavior behind how he talked about marketing. There is really two different kinds of marketing, those that inspire and those that require. What I mean by “require” is that, it doesn’t require you to do anything but be a consumer machine. Inspiring is kind of like what this TED guy does. Hes not telling you to rip off people, hes telling you to take a chance and be unique. There is a dif…

Who spreads an idea the best wins. I heard of this before. It is called meme warfare.
TV and Mass media is controlled by corporations. So ideas that could benefit humanity could not be spread because of TV censorship. The only ‘ideas’ spread through mass media is just advertisement trash which is a fucking shame.

Contradiction? When doesn’t he contradict himself? Who hasn’t at times?

Ad distribution has dramatically changed with the popularity of the internet (which is changing the “tv industrial complex”). The message is still the same though – with this product your life will be easier than it is, you will be happier, you will be different and “cool, or you will be accepted.

I feel he contradicts himself throughout this lecture. I think the main point he was trying to make was that you can no longer mass spam the nation with non-valuable products, because the consumer now has some control of ad/content distribution, yet he makes no mention of this. His main point seems to be that products need to be “remarkable”, or good, or of quality. Yet there have always been these markets (Sharper Image, Eddie Bauer..etc.).

ittaBIT27 12.04.09 at 1:10 pm
