Also, I hate how people don't understand that Hulu is different in a lot of ways than Netflix, between first-run shows, exclusives like FX series and Criterion movies and Seinfeld, and whatnot. So yeah, they charge what they charge. I like it because it's cheaper and easier than getting cable and DVRing the things I want to watch. Their the same thing. Amazon prime and netflix both have exclusives / original programming and no commercials for the same price. I just  what I need when the season is over if they are never coming to netflix. rip fx.

Just saw a truck go by plastered in ads, carrying this stuff: Their tagline was "Have you tried it?"  Haha, how clever. Because the name of our brand is a sex act. How titillating! I mean I guess in a way the ad "worked" because I'm posting about it now, but its pretty stupid, and I instantly don't trust any vodka that has to use sex. Good Vodka just advertises that its good vodka. This stuff isn't, I'm guessing, very good. Its like if Budweiser tried to take those commercials where they make it look like the beer gets you the attention of hot ladies, and then completely re-branded the company around it. Introducing NAKED HOT CHICKS beer! You're sure to have a good time with NAKED HOT CHICKS! Also they had a big logo for GF - GLUTEN FREE CERTIFIED but considering its distilled alcohol, I would really hope so. In retrospect though I guess it is flavored vodka though and I guess some brands use flavor additives that have gluten?

Also, I'm pretty sure every grain alcohol has gluten in it, so it's a valid concern. Vodka you can make out of pretty much any plant however.

Actually, the distillation process generally leaves the gluten behind. If you're drinking alcohol made of a gluten-containing grain, though, there's always the possibility that the distillation process was performed incorrectly, or, you know, some of the thousands of tons of rye wafting around came into contact with the finished product. But most distilled alcohol will have less than 20 ppm of gluten, which meets the standards for gluten-free labelling. Source: I have celiac disease and love whisk(e)y.

I posted this in the 90s thread, but I realized they also fit here IBM really wanted Os/2 to compete with windows. Os/2 did have a lot to offer. It could multitask really well, better than windows at the time, and had a bunch of other benefits. It could run windows/dos programs in emulators but they ran like poo poo. Anyways, the campaign they ran decided that its gimmick was not to show the product at all, just show people asking questions that were NOT ANSWERED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2cYd6dxj7w At least the terrible MS ads of the time showed people using windows and what it could do.

Probably there's a good write-up somewhere, but apparently IBM spent a few decades, especially the 80s, making new things/technologies and then refusing to market them at all and sabotaging their own sales because they might in any way impact or distract from the mainframes business. Saw a couple examples recently but can't remember what.

It's weird they'd worry about taking away sales from their mainframe because I'd think there was little to no overlap between the two markets.

http://www.npr.org/2015/12/15/459788999/encouraging-tv-binge-watching-may-backfire-on-advertisers NPR this morning played this, talking about how binge watchers of shows don't click through ads as much. Some dubious explanations get made that it's because people get wrapped up in fantasy land and don't want to come out of it to click an ad. For me, I binge watch when I'm doing something else, so I can't click dummies. Then again, I don't click anything ever anyway.

This is pretty fantastic. There's a reason Gluten free people get mocked all the time, because of poo poo like that. There's gluten in the world, I'm so opressed! My friend who's celiac does love the increased amount of stuff he can eat that doesn't taste like crap, but hates the bandwagoners who walk around with knives in their backs because of the evils of gluten. I once had a woman say to me "bread the worst thing humanity has ever done". Uh bread is why you can have that kind of opinion because the ability to make something that wasn't just what we killed or picked up enabled civilization to start. I do find it funny that stuff that wouldn't have gluten in it at all advertise themselves as gluten free. There is an organic butcher shop in my neighborhood that advertises "All meat Gluten Free". I'd hope so, unless they were selling the meat of some lovecraftian terror that was half plant and half animal I don't think meat has any gluten in it. Unless the feed can enter the meat. Maxwell Lord posted:I remember when they were running this. It was just baffling. Yea. I remember them too and not understanding what the product was even. They also had a series of ads with people in non-computer related situations talking about Os/2 and other upcoming technologies from IBM. I remember nuns and one of them having a beeper.

Including sausages and hot dogs Yea, but they label chops and steaks as gluten free. I can't fault them because it probably A) it stops a lot of dumb questions and B) appeals to their target market. The artisan ice cream place near me has a big sign on the gelato case that said "these flavors are gluten free, these are vegan, these are not" and you always get people asking which is which. The girls who work there have given up being nice to the customers who ask this because they ask it all the time.

The gas station near my house sells your typical paraphernalia like rolling papers and rose crack pipes but, because of its proximity to a school, can't sell alcohol. They recently put up a big sign explaining this: "We don't sell alcohol. FAMILY FIRST!"
