I know we are in the “spin” business, but sometimes when it’s “us” talking to “us,” wouldn’t you think people would have more sense? Like today when Yahoo executives painted a very rosy picture of future growth for its Internet advertising business, thanks to a blend of online entertainment and online communities, as well as more traditional services such as Yahoo search and instant messaging. This was at a San Francisco love fest for a bunch of Wall Street analysts, where Dan Rosensweig, chief operating officer of Yahoo cited an interactive ad for Mission Impossible 3 as an example of how the Internet delivers results that advertisers can measure. Claiming that more than half of moviegoers later said they heard about the film on the Internet. OK Dan, what’s your point? The target audience for films like that does everything including their laundry on the Internet… You’re not actually claiming they all saw that ad on Yahoo, are you? That’s like saying we’re winning in Iraq!
I know everyone in the Universe has seen this, but I just love Tom killing Oprah!
