Let's go slumming...again
But.... here's my question - why do our stars dress so badly when they attend prestigious awards like the Golden Globe?? What on earth was SRK doing with the tie tucked inside his shirt front?? And Rahman's weird shades? Anil K's tux?? Why not wear a sharply- cut sherwani or a shorter, smart bandgala ? Why resemble Puerto Rican maitre d's when you can look like Indian Maharajahs?? Oh... SRK mentioned it was Allah's blessings that won Rahman his GG. Oooooops - Rahman thanked the one billion Indians who were behind him!!
One more thing.... are you guys really surprised 'Taarey Zameen Par' was thrown out in round one of the Oscar's itself?? I am not. The film that should have gone from India is 'Tingya' or 'Valu'. But who says these selections are determined on the basis of merit???
38 comments:
There's more to Mr. Bachchan's comments than meets the eye for sure. However, and at least on the face of it, his knee-jerk reaction (without even having watched the movie)reinforces the fact that many desis still live in denial about the way majority of India is. There's a difference in living around this reality and actually 'seeing' and 'acknowledging' it for what it is! I say this as someone who has worked in this 'real world' of slums, shit and even "photogenic" poverty as you put it.
Do come by to read my take on the movie.

I completely agree about the dress sense of our stars though!

ARR thanked GOD (which I presume he meant Allah only), The Makers and One Billion Indians.. in that particular order... So What's wrong is SRK thanked Allah... U r doing too much of nit-picking.

TZP was a great movie. Just because you didnt like it and your grudge against all tbe stars, doesnt mean it wasnt good.
But yes stars could do with a sensible designer for their couture at these awards.

f*#k the west. we know who we are and where we are heading. when global economies are nosediving, we're heading north. And heading north in all spheres. rahman finally got his due. what a gifted composer. and what a humble fellow. agreed, the shades were looking pathetic and SRK was at his awful best in terms of looks. I cant really understand why dont we wear deadly sherwanis and stuff that's truly indian. all said and done, slumdog is a fantastic film. and my city, bombay, is equally fantastic. i watched slumdog on pirated DVD, with exceptional print & sound quality, eggjacktly like you did. that is bombay for me (fast. furious and fuc*#n fabulous). come on danny boy, you couldn't have done a film like this had it not been for a city like bombay, an enigma in itself. golden globe ani oscarlaa laa sidelaa theva. thodkyat mhanaycha tar, aamchi mumbai jinkli. tu kaay mhanti shobhaa?

Oh AB is just doing the "Bahu ke Bapu and Bapu himself Jaling bit". Patently obvious, even if he wont acknowledge it himself. Retrospectives in France, germany and morrocco and Loreal sponsored visits to Cannes are ok but the big banana is definately in the big orange. He knows it.
What has AB done himself on a CONSISTANT basis to use his box office (and by extention distribution) clout to promote good India cinema that appeals to EAST AND WEST. All this entertainment cinema that he bemoans is never celebrated in the west... is it even consistantly good product? I beg to differ. Indians rejoice in it because that is all we are fed. Not because substandard product, is all we understand. Apart from technical shoddyness, there is no point of commonality that the west finds in those films, so why would they celebrate or market the films AB moans about?
Shobhaa, your early novels were written at a time India was not even a blip of the map in the west. Naturally they focussed on what was a contrast from thier own lives (the only thing anyone else knew about India). I will guarantee you today that amongst the aam janata few Indians will want read and see about the terrible social upheaval and poverty (by US standards) in some remote Appalachian homestead. They would rather read about what they dont see around them, glittery Beverly Hills.
India is on the map now, in the West. People dont ask about whether I went to school on a elephant... (and they never have asked me or anyone else I know such stupid questions....even in the remotest areas of the US even 25 years ago when India was not on thier horizon at all), but they do ask me about my fairly middle class lifestyle in India. They are interested. They are willing to celebrate the rich, middle class and poor. Our bad luck that poverty is so self evident in India that there is no escaping it. So what do we do? We berate anyone who acknowledges it. Poverty is not a disease. It is a symptom of our indifference.
SM was a good film. People found some commonality in emotion and the way it was presented, in whatever culture it is presented. It was distributed and publised correctly in a way that appeals to the west. Therefore it was celebrated. Not only because goras only like goras. We do ourselves and our abilites a disservice when we think that.
Havent seen Taare Zameen Pe, but you have to hand it to Aamir Khan and that super thinking wife of his that it was even India's entry. He went about atleast letting other markets know about the film the right way.
Why didnt AB champion the cause of Tingya or Valu or even Taare Zameen Pe if he felt so strongly about it? So his clout and retrospecitives in france and germany and jhumri talliya mean nothing in terms of what he could do for good cinema that he claims to love so much? Apparantly not. Loreal ki lipstick lagao aur chup baitho.
I dont think they should have nessecarily worn desi dress. Any award show is a marketing opportunity. They were marketing themselves as actors/techinical people on a global stage. I am so glad Frieda Pinto wore nice clothes that were not all saris. She is marketing herself to the film Industry in the west right now. She needs to look like she can fit into a film made there. Why not?
SRK was dressed by his gay boyfriend/best platonic gay friend/best friend forever (take your pick) and looked like it. It was very Kjo. Still I have much, much love for him, even with the "too much" spray tanner and painted on looking hairline. He spoke well and looked relaxed and was marketing himself well. I still wont forgive him for his weak response during the Mumbai mayhem though.
AR Rahman... ohhh the man is wonderful. Nuff said.
Anil Kapoor cheered like a good milk drinking punjabi. That is a good thing! That is what we desis are... exhuberant, we cheer and we are rich and middle class and POOR.

De, i doubt if 'Valu' or 'Tingya' wud hv made the cut as well. Both the films hv been appealing but technically very average (not that i can comment much abt the technicalities).
I liked 'Tingya' better than 'Valu'
Did u listen to 'Jai Ho'? It sounds very mediocre in comparison to all or Rehman's compositions. It's an irony & absolute shame that he got a GG for this song.

Good to see Shobha De's blog, that's the beauty of web-connected world!
Somehow we all have this misconception that slumdog is an Indian movie, which it is not, it is more of one artist's imagination of another in an imaginary world.

- CoolShams said...
AB's comments have reassured me that its a classic case of indians pulling down indians.Its clear that he must be miffed cause SRK was invited & not him.Cause if he feels so strongly, then why does he himself attend Cannes & other such international festivals?And what about aishwarya rai desparately trying her luck in hollywood?
I think its a proud moment for all us Indians, that Indian talent was acknowledged and noticed.
As regards dress sense, well I too was a little surprised on seeing SRK's tie tucked under his shirt style.But I feel overall everyone was well dressed.There is no need to wear Indian clothes for award functions in the west.Do these actors wear Indian clothes even to our award functions?So long as they are well dressed!

Every few years we get the opportunity to see a movie that you'll remember for a long time and this is one those movie. As a big fan of movies of all genre, I thought Dark Knight was hands down the best movie of the year (2008) until I saw Slumdog. For start to end this movie was amazing. The music, story, acting, direction and list goes on. I am not saying this was better then Dark Knight but they were equally amazing and I was very fortunate to have 2 movies last year that I'll remember for many years.
Bollywood only likes to show glamorous India, because the other side of India is what 95% lives in, and hence would not like to see a movie with the same backdrop. Whats different about this is that it starts of grabbing you in the Gut with almost nauseating imagery and gradually turns it into a ravishing delicacy and leaves you mouth watering for more. A true masterpiece captured with stunning visuals and exhilarating music to match. Definitely one of the 100 films you must see before you die.

Yes i am hugely surprised by the early exit of TZP.I totally felt that it was correct nomination for oscars.Bad luck Aamie again but a landmark movie u have made.
I totally agree with what u said about our star's dressing sense.
they could have done much much better.
Comments from Mr. Bachchan embarks mixed reactions.Partly he is correct in saying that West can only see a poor india.But that doesnt take anything away from that fact that its a very well made movie which shows certain realities which we shamlessly never accept.

- January 16, 2009 at 4:27 AM
Do you have any firm say ma'am ! .. Just couple of blogs before you said this film was reality and showered the praise. Now you say the opposite and hit the west. I like the way you write but based on the fact that your opinion is "opinion of the day" that can change 180 deg the next , it better not be believed. Also , if you list what charitable work you do for the society apart from attending parties , it would really great. Since preaching is far simple that an actual deed. Take Care.

Intersting observations there...
Yes I think the West still likes India as a poverty stricken poor nation.. they simply refuse to believe that India has moved ahead... For most of them India is still the nation of snake charmers, tantriks and slums... so a 'slum dog millionaire' has appealed to them... but I don't think that the Oscar should be the benchmark in rating the Indian Film Industry... What matters is 'what we think and feel about it all'... who cares whether we win or not!

SM is a very good movie...This movie would click in the west because of the WWTBM game show concept, which was hugely popular.
Though the depiction is shocking and sincere and slum scenes are set up around 90s, you can complain but the counter arguments are also there in the movie.
But just becoz AB has criticized you dont let open this can of worms about the west publishers!
There is enough polarisation in the country as you know.
Also about your comment of TZP if SM is a good movie without commercial interests and TZP is movie contrary to that view, my humble opinion is you are contradicting yourselves. TZP or SM these are commercial movies aimed at catering its audiences.
No different! (about it failing to make it, we should analyze based on the 5 that made it and not be critical about TZP!

I respect your thoughts,I thought its the opposites which attract people not the the truth or reality.We should stop thinking films as a source of message or portrayal of truth.Film is for fantasy,film is for action,film is for drama,film is for entertainment.Its a bussiness!
The film market is for poverty,what we miss in west!

De, I had written to Kush, a blog dost of ours, earlier regarding Slumdog. I was telling him that slums and whores and goons are as much a reality as the booming realty is. Danny called a spade a spade. Big Deal! Can we cross our hearts and proclaim that what he has portrayed is but a myth? No, we can't.
We speak of firangi minds seeing india as a nation of snakes, discrimination and making mazaak of our gareebi(the non existance)?
lets jhaank in our girebaan... Even today, throw a movie on ichadhari naagins to the audience, And we will be a wonderful catch. The tickets will sell as hot cakes would.
And are we okie with being called rich in our movies?
We as a nation are always sorry to be rich. The rich is often associated with the spoilt brat slutty image. I can't understand though why? Have we ever heard of a success story where the protagonist is rich and got richer? NOT OFTEN!We make a virtue of being poor. We like it that way.
And regarding Boyle doing injustice... I ask with teh same intensity of emotion... why should we expect a firang to not show the part of India "as is", when our own desi breed of director sahebs have not done it. Hasn't Formula Bhandarkar, Mumbai Meri jaan, etc etc have not exploited this side of Mumbai?
Athithi devo bhava is a thing of the past. We are not even grateful to a director who made a real movie on our city and got our boy a golden globe. Yes, there were bits in the film that I felt terribly revolted. But I could decipher the truth from the unreal.
Now, I make it a point that I engage in a discussion with a visually impaired or physically challenged bhikharis and ask them about their whereabouts, slumdog exposed the nexus, that was not unknown! a sensation that had not prevailed in me until I saw slumdog millionare. (No, even bhandarkars traffic signal didnt kindle the spark in me). thank you Boyle. I just was repelled by the idea of the Title.. SLUMDOG??? though I have no issues with the content, but the title. He called slummers in bombay a DOG? where are the bombay greats who changed the city's name and demanded sign boards in marathi?
This was the only aspect that was unreal. We dont call the slumdwellers dogs. Boyle got the essence right, but spoiled it all with a brash abusive title.
What extensive research lovleen and boyle would have tried? I can imagine the pre production research. It is anything but easy.
speaking about your book, I am happy that so many people would be reading your books.And I am not surprised that people asked you to By teh way, I have a personal request, write about pale and sick India. Print one in Punjabi for Sonam Kapoor na.
Dressing for golden globe? hehheheh. They need to be given lessons on etiquette. In this aspect they are terribly uneducated and too shy to admit. Toh naturally na De, diasterich hoyega na.
What Amitabh has done is worth the attention. I suppose that was his intention. What the f? You are still on De's blog? Let's give the angry young man what he truly wishes. "Move over to Amitabh's blog", I say!

I agree with you in this regard that its getting all the accolades becouse its been made by a Westerner.
At the first place, i was surprised by whya westerner has to make a movie which is fully INDIAN???
Why none of our very own top gun directors took this project???
West has always been n will always be happy to INDIA poor n hungry.We can not help it.
Having said that we must accept that Hollywood movies doesnt only show slums from india but they have shown the underbelly from america as well in so many movies.
But the Slumdog is shot in such a realistic manner that we must give it to danny.

Amitabh's reaction to Slumdog Millionaire is indeed interesting. What is he ashamed of? The truth? So film did show the dark underbelly of India. But have we not seen movies that show the dark side of the US? Take the film 'Traffic' or even the film 'The Pursuit of Happyness'!

shobha, shobha, shobha,
Now, why would you compare SRK's dressing style to a Puerto Rican Maitre'd?
For your information, most maitre'd's are white, not puerto rican or mexican or whatever.
Where do you indians come up with these stereotypes about different people?
- February 7, 2009 at 11:50 AM
Comments made by De and Bachan proves that these people might be celebrities but not matured yet t comment on these issues.
Besides they dont like the way the west understand them but desperately need their recognition. We make films here which we want the oscars to recognise, common lets get real.
We live with slums around us we despise but it took some slum dwellers to pull it off with a movie that got some oscars. Boyle remains calm about it all and speaks highly of india. But we jokers want to criticize with the little maturity we have.
These are issues not meant for celebrities in india to comment on. They should be left to comment on 5-star subjects. comment on films when they start making some good films. Maybe De should write a script with Bachan in the lead and then leave it to Rahman and Resul to pull off another oscar. But i doubt if De or Bachan can pull it off as they are so full of them self.

Its no surprise.
The 80s and the 90s saw demonization of Whites by the slaved African Americans, who worshipped Malcom X.
Today, Black movies, showing African American gang bangers, being caught by police for crimes they did not do, getting raped in jails and fighting for principles against fellow white KKK/Nazi inmates are not very popular, the topic has been overdone. SlumDog brings in that freshness of the same old 'suppression'.
A perfect example of such a film would be "Hurricane" Carter played by denzel washington...The only difference being THAT STORY WAS BASED ON REALITY. Slumdog - Ha ha ha

Before the first engines are fired, three of NASCAR's TV partners will originate a total of four and a half hours of pre-race programming. Here is the rundown.
It will be NASCAR Now on ESPN2 starting the day at 10AM Eastern Time with a one hour preview show. This program will be hosted by either Ryan Burr or Nicole Manske and features live reports from reporters at the track. This season, NASCAR Now has proven to be an effective and balanced program that does a good job of previewing the upcoming Cup race.
Long before NASCAR Now was a gleam in ESPN's eye, there was RaceDay on SPEED. Normally referred to as "the franchise," RaceDay is currently scheduled a bit earlier to avoid a conflict with the TNT pre-race programming. This Sunday, the two hour show begins at 10:30AM.
This week, Kenny Wallace returns to the program after a week away while racing in the Nationwide Series. Wallace re-joins Jimmy Spencer and John Roberts to form a very popular trio with NASCAR fans. SPEED's increase in ratings for RaceDay this season tells the tale.
On Sunday morning, the program will welcome David Gilliland, Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth as guests. Normally, the drivers wear a headset to communicate with the panelists and are interviewed from the infield. Spencer and Wallace have developed a good on-air relationship with the folks in the garage, and these interviews are often surprisingly candid and refreshing.
In terms of features, RaceDay will look at the battle for 12th spot in the Sprint Cup point standings. Also included will be Jeff Burton's history at Loudon, Jeff Gordon's tough 2008 season and Rutledge Wood will host a look back at the NASCAR Modified career of Jimmy Spencer. That should be interesting.
Each week reporter Wendy Venturini handles the news reports from the garage area and also offers a pre-produced feature called The Real Deal. This week, Venturini sat down with Richard Petty and the new CEO of Petty Enterprises David Zucker.
There is no doubt that surrendering control of his family-owned business to a group of investment bankers from Boston was tough for Petty. Sitting alongside a former TV and video game executive who is now running your former company may be even tougher. The contrast between the North Carolina style of Petty and the hard-driving business style of the New Yorker Zucker is huge. This should be a Real Deal to watch.
TNT's first pre-race show called NASCAR on TNT Live! is up next at 12:30PM and is hosted by TNT's own in-house announcer Marc Fein. Along with Kyle Petty and Larry McReynolds, Fein hosts this one hour program from the big TNT rotating infield stage thingy.
This week the show will feature an interview with Jeff Burton and questions from NASCAR.com users. The NASCAR Future Stars segment will focus on Justin Allgaier who drives the #16 Chevy in the ARCA/ReMax Series. Lindsay Czarniak will tag along with Brian Vickers pit crew as they make their way over to nearby Dartmouth College to play ice hockey.
The big feature will have Wally Dallenbach sitting down for a conversation with the pride of Taylorsville, NC. That would be the one-and-only Harry Gant, recently named one of NASCAR's Top 50 Drivers. It should be interesting to hear Gant's opinions on issues like the COT and the youth movement in the sport.
The final pre-race show is the Allstate Countdown to Green hosted by Bill Weber from the TNT cocktail table in the announce booth. Dallenbach and Weber talk for thirty minutes as they zero-in on the race itself. Weber combines some hard news with one feature to which he usually contributes. This 1:30PM program leads directly into TNT's race coverage.

LOL at the cocktail table for the Bill and Wally.
They need to give them some martini glasses or something. Even if it just has tea in it, lol.
Tough to catch RD so many hours early...just hate turning the tv on so far ahead of the race. I might want to catch the Harry Gant deal...I refuse to wear myself out watching as many hours of the race, in pre-race.
I do appreciate the heads up of what's going on the shows, though JD. Allows us to pick and choose.

Outside the Lines this morning on ESPN had a segment on NASCAR team financial difficulties. Very good story from Mike Massaro with comments from Doug Yates, Humpy Wheeler, Steve Phelps, an executive from NASCAR, and a marketing consultant who deals with sponsorship.
Sadly, Eddie Gossage was the live guest after the segment. Maybe Eddie hadn't woken up yet because he proceeded to dismiss everything Yates and everyone else said in the filmed segment, saying he didn't seen any problems with teams finding sponsors, that NASCAR has the best sports marketers in the world, etc. He was the NASCAR cheerleader, even more than the guy who works for NASCAR.
Bob Ley politely but firmly deflated all of Gossage's cheerleading comments by pointing back to the comments made by others in the video, noting that it was a team owner (yates) who was pointing out team financial realities. For example, with teams going to trimaries - three sponsors or more trading weeks on one team's car, it's making the smaller teams lose out on sponsors who might consider them full time but decide to do a few weeks on a popular car instead. I personally hadn't thought about that.
Anyway, Gossage looked bad -he's usually good on TV - and it was an uncomfortable end to a very good story.
That was the only pre-race I'll be watching today. The rest is four and a half hours of sensory overload - too much. We won't have the TV on again until a few minutes before the race. But I also do appreciate the descriptions here of what will be on, JD; I'm sure they are helpful to many readers.

When Nascar Now shows the truck highlights they credit it to "Nascar Media Group", even though it aired on SPEED. Is this a legal issue or does ESPN just not want to mention a rival network?
Also, does Nascar Media Group have the same involvement with ESPN races as with SPEED races?

Something has happend with NASCAR Raceday. They were showing a feature. then it stopped. Now they are in commercial for 5 minutes. I think it might have been a power outage or something at the speedway.

Satelitte Transmission Issue. This is HUGE! They are showing Back in the Day now.

Raceday is no longer on the air due to Technical Difficulties. John Roberts said they will show "Back in the Day" until they can fix the Satelittle Transmission issues.

Race Day OFF THE AIR due to satellite transmission issue (thanks JR for letting us know the deal) and now it's Back in the Day. Hopefully TNT isn't using the same satellite for the race this could be huge

Wheels came off the race day bus!
Reminiscent of the problem a few weeks ago with TNT having to go to the backup audio feed thing during a live race.
Hope we don't miss out on the real deal, I was looking forward to seeing this weeks interview.

The NMG is like PGA Tour Productions or NBA Entertainment. They are the company owned by NASCAR that owns all the footage of the events once the races are over.
In order to get NASCAR footage (except for amateur Internet sites like YouTube) you have to contact NMG and pay for it.
As part of the existing NASCAR TV contracts, networks like ESPN and Fox have agreements that allow them to use certain footage in promos and shows.
Most fans are surprised to know that all the NASCAR shows on SPEED are produced by NMG.

I updated the front page. My guess is failure at the uplink in New Hampshire of either power or transmission equipment.
Normal glitches do not last this long. It should be interesting to see if SPEED airs the remainder of RaceDay in full length and runs over into the TNT shows.
That is going to be a big decision once things get sorted out.
Isn't TV fun?

When RaceDay comes back, they most likely will air it until the scheduled 12:30 ET. They will most likely only show the important stuff when they come back and skip all the fluff

Anon 11:28AM,
All SPEED has on after RaceDay is repeat programs, and RaceDay does not re-air.
That means if they decide to shorten the program, what they dump out will not be seen later.
Each week's content becomes "dated" once the next race airs, so it certainly is an interesting decision.
If you remember last year, RaceDay ran up against the TNT pre-race shows head-to-head.
- June 29, 2008 at 11:37 AM
- SophiaZ123 said...
Well this is HUGE. SPEED has had more technical 'issues' this year than in all the years I have watched this station (which is not much, mainly on weekends) and this kind of deal keeps happening.
Why does this keep happening. I turned on RD at 11.06 when things went wrong. I wanted to see the Spencer piece and lucked out with my timing. Normally it's been shorter glitches on SPEED shows where the picture freezes up but JR has had to apologize a lot this year for technical issues.
But this is HUGE and the only pre race segment I wanted to see besides the one on Harry Gant was the Spencer deal from his Modified racing days.
Yea they are back. I HOPE They stay on the air. SHEESH

THEY ARE BACK 11:42 saying won't miss a thing. I wonder what they will skip?
- June 29, 2008 at 11:43 AM
- Kyle said...
Well at least thy went with Back in the Day. Not Pinks, or Low Life!
JD, yes they ran against TNT's pre race show. But they didn't have Speed content on nascar.com...... I think that was the trade off for not going up against TNT's pre show.
And as I type this they are back, and John Robert says we wont miss a thing. So Lets see if the show runs an extra 40 mins today or not.
- June 29, 2008 at 11:43 AM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
That is a much bigger story than I am letting on. That is why it should be interesting to see if they run over the timeslot like Roberts just said they would.

Did anyone notice how Bobby Labonte "creatively" held his Coke Zero bottle right next to the SPEED microhphone .... for the ENTIRE interview.
Looked a little odd, but gotta admit that it got Coke Zero about 3 minutes of air time.
Let's see if this spreads thru the garage to other drivers to start "holding / presenting" their respective drinks closer to their face during an interview.
- June 29, 2008 at 11:58 AM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
That is part of an integrated marketing plan by not only Coke but also other sponsors in the sport.
The driver gets points and the sponsor gets on-air time logged because of it. After the race, you will almost always see the drivers scrambling for the beverage that sponsors their team.
You can find more info about drivers and their drink sponsors by Googling around the net.

Nice decision by SPEED to overlap TNT. Make sure to adjust the DVR or VCR if you are recording RaceDay.

That POOR monkey being given beer for entertainment purposes and thumbs down to the guys on SPEED for giving the idiot owner TV time.
Ok, I am turning off this show. I loathe and detest exotic animals as pets. Let alone abusing them with booze.
what a redneck image.
Even Tony stewart finally donated Mojo a year ago to a zoon. He FINALLY realized monkeys are NOT suitable for pets and need more room.
Very disappointed in RACE DAY.
I will turn on TNT.
I wish somebody had an ADDRESs I would complain but I doubt if anybody at SPEED cares.
But I will no longer enjoy race day.
I am most disappointed in KENNY WALLACE finding it "FUNNY".
wow. I thought lots of guys in NASCAR believed in animal rescue. I think that monkey needs to be rescued from it's IDIOTIC redneck owner.

They guys on TNT look professional but mentioned the weather..so I guess there is a threat of rain.

We never actually saw the monkey drinking beer he grabed the can from someone who was not the guy who had the leash. I agree giving him beer is poor and Kenny mentioning it is worse. Air time for the monkey Ok because there was no actual drinking. Pets at the track is somewhat strange anyway what are they going to do with it for 5 hours

I see Wendy is still in the motorcoach lot and not on the grid so she really isn't cutting into TNT's gig which is a shame because that is where she does some of her best interviews

New race fan
STILL bad move. I take it you have never been involved or listened to somebody that did EXOTIC ANIMAL RESCUE for a living.
A monkey on a leash at a loud race for SEVERAL hours constitutes abuse. You do not have to be a radical PETA person to recognize it.
I have been involved with veterinarians over the years and can assure you, given "camera time" to this poor mammal was a bad choice for a NASCAR show as it emphasizes the stupid redneck image most have tried to over come. And sorry if I do not find it funny at all.
I consider it PART of the broadcast discussion since I find it distasteful. I turned on TNT and am enjoying the chemistry of the guys.
Folks used to be amused by bear wrestling and drinking beers (the bear) so trust me, it is NOT far fetched to imagine the monkey drinking beer but there are a plethora of reasons this was a BAD MOVE by SPEED to put this on camera.
Off soapbox.
Sorry JD but if they make it part of the show, I am going to comment. I am very sorry I tuned into Race Day now.

I've seen for years the drivers after the race or qualifying to take a drink of their beverage timed perfectly at the start or end of the interview & I'm aware of the "chug points"....
But - todays Labonte interview had him actually holding the bottle near his chest for all of the interview.
Great move from a marketing standpoint.
But what's keeping him from holding a box of Cheerio's, etc. ?
It may reek of too much commercialism..... but if it's MY product they are representing, I want them holding it.
But from a TV standpoint, we could start seeing more B-Roll video after the interview starts in an attempt to get away from those "free" commercials for a given product.... especially sponsors that conflict with the network.

I read on one of the posts a slam of Kenny mentioning his brother Rusty. Kenny just asked of it was bad to keep bringing his brother (he was told no by the way). Perhaps he reads this blog
- June 29, 2008 at 12:49 PM
- Anonymous said...
Ken Michigan, the RaceDay guys are cooperating on these kind of promotions (and the Labonte one was excessive with him holding the drink the ENTIRE TIME). A few weeks ago they did an interview with Montoya and John Roberts reminded JPM at the end about the new Wrigley's gum - apparently it's jumbo sized or whatever. JPM was like, oh yeah thanks for reminding me and held a box of gum up on camera. JPM had mentioned Juicy Fruit during the interview because it was on his car/firesuit that week but I guess that wasn't enough, there must have been some agreement that he show the product on RaceDay. It was weird and I hope this doesn't become a trend. Which means it will!

Thats a ridiculous complaint. You dont like him to say "my brother"?? I cant imagine why. that is such a menial part of the show. why not complain about other more important things.

Before the engines fire, its all about the marketing and always has been.

There was a thirty minute overlap due to the SPEED satellite uplink failure.
TNT does ninety minutes of pre-show. Great decision by SPEED.

@anon 12:58--I agree. I have no issue with Herman saying "my brother Rusty" or "my brother Mike" or whathaveya. Yes 99% of the audience knows *who* he's talking about if he just said Rusty or Mike but he's been doing it forever and it doesn't bother me at all.

I rarely watch any of the pre-race shows. However, JD's preview of TNT's show mentioning Harry Gant got my attention, and I made it a point to watch it.
I was somewhat disappointed. While I enjoyed the conversation in general, I was looking forward to hearing Harry's views on the things now going on in the sport, (as JD thought might take place). Oh well, I still enjoyed seeing, and hearing one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers.

The unofficial impression above, from a recent magazine report, is one of a whole slew of graphics and illustrations that have swamped the internet and print publications in the last few years. This one, like many others, suggests that there will be submarine-launched versions of India's intermediate range ballistic missiles Agni III and V.
I sent the picture above to India Today senior editor Sandeep Unnithan, who broke the story recently about India's secret K-series of missiles, to see what he thought. Here's what he had to say: "There is a myth created by missile experts on internet forums about SLBM variants of the Agni III and V. They have gone ahead and created several impressions of what it will look like complete with MIRVs etc. The truth is that the K series, and NOT Agni, is the basis for the future SLBM development. This is not contested by the DRDO either. Difficulties with compacting the Agni to fit the 10 metre diameter ATV hull have led to solutions like the K-4."

The last major update of the FR body happened in 2006 and after careful consideration, the entire Integrity Toys team felt that another upgrade was long overdue. With this said, we are excited to announce that starting with the 2013 Convention Collection, the regular articulated Fashion Royalty body will effectively start to be retired and will be replaced by a newly refined version of the FR: Squared (FR2) body!
Since we love to mix things up, also starting with the convention collection, the core Fashion Royalty brand and its spin off FR: Squared will be unified as one.All characters from FR and FR2 will show up in the new FR line and Monogram dolls are going to be discontinued. In 2014 there will be refreshed Nu.Face and later, Homme bodies.
The renovated FR2 body will be compatible with all FR2 clothing manufactured so far and some of the older garments as well, although not all (the Classic Tall Body torso shape and the FR2 torso shape are a little different).**At the convention prior to the introduction of the tall FR body, Jason Wu was asked about compatibility of the new body with existing clothing and shoes. He said they would be compatible. I heard him say that myself. It turned out to be untrue.
Does a "newly revamped, more unified visual image" mean that everything will look even more like everything else?
Like every other company, Integrity Toys is in business to make money. Their refusal to offer replacement bodies is detestable. They are well aware that bodies have yellowed due to some chemical defect in their makeup. It is their fault for not correcting the issue with the factory. Collectors are willing to shell out money for replacement bodies and they are forcing them to either live with the ruined bodies or spend more money buying dolls just to get bodies.
What is their big fear regarding offering bodies for replacement? Tonner has been doing it for years. They're not out of business. It's no big deal. It doesn't require fancy packaging or marketing. Refusing to comply with collectors' needs is downright stupid and greedy. Their cheerleaders are touting their innovation and thanking them for each and every doll that appears and yet, they are not trying to make collectors happy. They are just trying to make money which reminds us again why they are in business.
The FR2 body was innovative for a 12" vinyl doll. They certainly charged enough for their innovation. I'm guessing they have found a way to lower the manufacturing costs. The hip joint can definitely be eliminated. Something will change.
I don't care about the elimination of the FR tall body or the Monogram line. I have enough. I've been selling off my extras.
Finally, they have come up with a new logo. I usually applaud Alain's designs but this one is very ordinary. The backwards F inside the box...does it mean the company is backward and forward looking at the same time? I can understand that.
|New Logo
I love the crown logo. It made a lot of sense with the brand. It carried meaning. But just like everything else, it's disposable.
|Original Fashion Royalty Logo
Avantguard, Monogram, FR2, Basic Edition, Hollywood Royalty, Valia, Monsieur Z

The National Dance Council of America (NDCA) was formed in 1948 as a non-profit educational organization. It was originally called The National Council of Dance Teacher Organizations (NDCTO).
December, 1947 – Impetus toward a concerted action on the part of dance teachers and their organizations was furnished by passing of the so-called Maryland Bill and the subsequent discussion concerning legislation relating to the dance teaching profession.
June/July, 1948 – Helen Wicks Reid went to England and talked with teachers and officers of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and the Royal Academy of Dancing. She also met with Philip Richardson, Editor of Dancing Times, who was for many years Chairman of the Official Board (of teacher organizations), about the cooperation of dance organizations in self-regulating of the profession.
August, 1948 – Preliminary talks with Mr. Anatole Chujoy of Dance News. It was decided that Helen Wicks Reid, as president of the American Society of Teachers of Dancing, the oldest dance teacher organization in the United States, should call a meeting of representatives of dance teacher organizations. Mrs. Reid asked Mr. Chujoy to act as Chairman because of his qualifications and neutrality.
September, 1948 – Letters were sent by Helen Wicks Reid to Dance Masters of America, Dance Educators of America, New York Society of Teachers of Dancing and Chicago National Association of Dancing Masters inviting them to send representatives to a meeting on October 24, 1948 at the Hotel Astor in New York City.
October 24, 1948 – A meeting was held at the Hotel Astor and Mr. Chujoy was elected Chairman and Catherine McVeigh of Philadelphia was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Continuations Committee the beginning of the National Council of Dance Teacher Organizations. Dance Teachers Club of Boston was also invited to join (there was an error in not inviting them initially thinking they were still just an affiliate club of Dances Masters of America).
February, 1951 – The following organizations were present at a meeting held February 18, 1951 at the Astor Hotel – New York Society of Teachers of Dancing, Dance Educators of America, American Society of Teachers of Dancing, Dance Teachers Club of Boston, Associated Dance Teachers of New Jersey, Philadelphia Dancing Association (observer), Dance News and Dance Magazine. The first official president of the NCDTO was Donald Duncan.
In 1962, the NDCA was admitted to membership in the World Dance and Dance Sport Council (WD&DSC), previously known as the International Council of Ballroom Dancing (ICBD), currently known as the WDC, to represent the interest of professional dancers and teachers from the United States in worldwide dancing affairs. In addition to formulating the rules by which NDCA recognition of competitions and championships are granted, the NDCA has the exclusive right to select the professional couples and judges who will represent America in all World Professional Championships.
In 1973 a Scrutineering Examining Committee was formed for the purpose of certifying scrutineers in the U.S.A.
In 1981, in the spirit of cooperation, the North American Treaty was created. This document was signed by the NDCA and the representatives of the Canadian Dance Teachers Association (CDTA), the official professional body of Canada. The purpose was to open a more direct line of communication between the two countries, specifically in the areas of rules, competition date conflicts, and professional registrations. This Treaty was superseded by the 'North American Dance Sport Alliance' in November 2004.
In May of 1986, the United States applied for and was admitted to the Asian-Pacific Council. Members of the Council are: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, and United States.
