Well, I don't know, the world is a theater, isn't it?
I like CNN for some things: I like Wolf Blitzer, I like Larry King, I liked the idea of 24 hours news, I watched live on CNN many things you now take for granted to be able to see live, but that many years ago were broadcasted only at 9 pm or so by a bunch of rigid anchors on an even more prefabricated format.
Sure they can get better, but it's a waste of time to become fixated on the mistakes of others.
As is the case in drivers, I try to see what's good in people. I couldn't be a mod here if I weren't...
So, yeah, 95% of news made by main news channels respond to big sponsor interests, but, let's be frank, the other 5% are made by nuts with an agenda.
News are the glorification of gossip. Period. However, gossips are indispensable for humans or, at least, for the ones I know.
Frankly, I don't watch news, I read them. I try to read from many sources: I read Haaretz (instead of CNN), sure, but then I take a look to the Palestinian Authority website and later to Hamas site.
So, what would be better, in your opinion? A Wikipedia sponsorship? A Book of the Month sponsorship? The Independent? Mother Theresa's Network Television?
Frankly, I would like to have a
CNNNN sponsorship, but, unfortunately, CNNNN is out.
Puh-leeze. Let's have even funnier sponsors: condoms, Power Puff girls, you name it. Let's learn from NASCAR.
Isn't this what you call a livery? Your three year old girl will love it. Those team marketing guys said: "we doubt CNN ethics: let's go with Cartoon Network!"
Ka-pow! Pfizer, a company known for its generosity, teams up with the Caped Crusader, The Bat-man
Yeah, I've always dreamt of being a part of the "Boniva Ibandronate Sodium Tablets" team. We are jumping in joy, like the logo. Pass the bong, bro.
From the person that created the Achy Breaky Heart Show AND Hanna Montana (and you complain about CNN programming, for the love of Pete!)
On a second thought, the Peckers Racing Team does it with pride
People, you complain too much. I can imagine some of you complaining in paradise about the wings being "too feathery" and the halos being "too heavy". Some others would be saying "yeah, but it's a conspiracy by sandal makers: they want us to discard the halos and buy new sandals".
Finally, if you do not want your loathed CNN logo to be visible, you can hide it behind a
definitely horrible livery. This is my list, painstakingly (and I'm literal here) built through the years.
Go faster, Damon (someone could see you!
Jenson, get in: this way nobody will notice we have NO sponsors (not even CNN)
What colour is this? Is it a colour at all? The B&H ad makes it look like a bent billboard in the shape of a car.
