Then, the Sunday morning chit-chat shows were my Super Bowl every week.
Now I never even watch them, and I rarely watch TV news. If I skip there it is for five seconds. I can't stand the stuff anymore. My only MSM exposure is the Globe, and they are.... sigh.
"How couch potatoes watch TV could hold clues for advertisers" by Brian Steinberg, Globe Correspondent | September 6, 2009
.... “1984’’
“eye tracking’’
technology will allow researchers to record how viewers’ facial muscles move....
Efforts to reinforce so-called biometric measurements....
They REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want US ALL to be ACCLIMATED to the BIOMETRICS, huh?
But there AIN'T NO New World Order control grid going up, nope!
A burgeoning movement to determine whether the active emotional responses of what once were believed to be slack-jawed couch potatoes can help some of the nation’s biggest marketers and media outlets....
Why, so they can SELL MORE BULLS*** and WARS?
Greater sophistication is on the way....
Technological advances could increase interest in such studies. As TV grows more complex, viewers will soon have more ability to interact with their favorite flat-screen as programmers and advertisers ask them to push a button on the remote to get more information or text a message via mobile phone. Suddenly, the goal isn’t just about getting a message in front of millions of people, but getting as many people as possible to take the next step and react.
WHERE is the ENEMY, SHOW ME the WAY!!!!
Advertisers and media outlets want to know “where you can get data on what people are thinking and feeling,’’ said Brad Dancer, senior vice president-research and digital media at National Geographic Channel. “It’s hard to get. You can’t get it by asking,’’ because people often shy away from giving honest answers about what they feel internally.
Ummm, YOU ARE GETTING IT RIGHT HERE and THESE ARE HONEST ANSWERS, let me tell you!!!
I WOULD NEVER LIE to my readers!!!!
I AM NOT a NEWSPAPER as such because I TELL the TRUTH -- as UGLY, HARSH, and PROFANELY PAINFUL as that is because WORDS are ALL I HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should the researchers be able to prove a commercial that provokes a rapid heartbeat, sweating, and movement in all the right facial muscles also leads to increased sales, they will likely have a hit on their hands.
That seems reasonable since all advertising is pornography. The littlest lie is still a harmful lie.
Didn't they think the invasion of Iraq was a hit at the time?
Until then, well, the testing goes on.
“It’s a sexy topic.... ’’ said Glenn C. Kelley, an associate professor of marketing at Babson College....
Uh, that's not the term I was thinking of, sickie.
