415. Newsweek, July 3, 1995
Every once in a while at work, we will get in a book about teenagers going to summer camp. I always picture summer camp as something upper middle class parents send their kids off to so they don’t have to deal with them for a month.
I have a version of the song where those parts are edited out like if you pressed the ffd button on your CD player real quick.
You gotta squint, but here is the apology that was put on the album cover (I always thought it was an insert).
I found an article about how eWorks! worked:
It all started on Oct. 5 of last year, two days after a jury found O.J. Simpson not guilty of murder. "Hard Copy," a tabloid TV news show reported that at the party afterward at Simpson's home, congratulatory products were donated by some companies, including Mrs. Fields.
That was not the case, and the tabloid show and other news organizations that repeated the false information ran retractions.
By then, however, the rumor-spreading power of the Net was at work. The item ended up on numerous newsgroups and made its way to an O.J. Simpson "Boycott Page" on the World Wide Web that says it lists those who in some way are helping Simpson's welfare.
"It's not enough to notify the press there is a wrong story. You've got to go into the Internet. You can't ignore it," says E.G. Perry, spokeswoman for Mrs. Fields. The more a firm's value is based on its image and goodwill, the more dangerous rumors are.
The cookie company hired a firm called eWorks!, based in White Plains, N.Y., and St. Paul, Minn., which offers an electronic clipping service called "eWatch." Just as corporations hire clipping services to scan the print media, eWatch scans 16,000 newsgroups, and more than 100,000 articles a day that appear in cyberspace.
"Do you know what they're saying about your company in cyberspace?" the firm says in its promotional literature.
Some 200 firms, mostly major corporations, are paying $295 a month, with a $2 charge for every clip, to find out.
The mentality of a newsgroup, says James Alexander, managing partner in eWorks!, is that information that gets repeatedly posted is gospel unless challenged.
"It was amazing to watch things turn around 180 degrees," Alexander says, once Mrs. Fields began posting corrections to the O.J. rumor. 1
ooo these photos of Tim McVeigh are so creepy! I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all. Here is the entire interview on archive.is.
I was 11 when the Oklahoma City bombing happened. I misunderstood something I saw on tv, that Tim worked briefly at the daycare center in the federal building Why did I think that?!
I haven’t finished The Last Dance yet. Please tell me that Space Jam is mentioned at length.
Ah, the early failure days of the WB & UPN. (I brought up the frog a couple of years ago)
Shots from an article about when the World Wide Web was the Wild West of porn.
This is one of my all time favorite Real World seasons. Neil had part of his tongue bit off!
good night.
I didn’t know that Andre shaved his head in 1995. Before that he was wearing a hair piece that I didn’t find out about until I flipped through his biography a couple of years ago.
