The Future Of Politics & Online Video – Fame Wins?

By • June 25, 2007 • Online Marketing, Online Politics, YouTube • 4 Comments

Loren doesn’t like the Hillary Clinton spoof on the Soprano’s movie. He thinks it’s a disgrace.

Let me just say this. I also think it’s a disgrace that our politics have turned into who can entertain the most. However, that makes me more disgusted for our country and our future as opposed to just being disgusted about Hillary. She’s just playing the game. Wait until the Obama team finally hires a good video company.

Look, this next presidential election is going to really open the doors for the next level of political fame, and I don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing. On one hand it’s great to see the candidates up-close and personal, but on the other hand, it’s scary to think that perhaps the person to be elected will be the person with the best video on YouTube.

Scared? I am.

Hillary Video.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.

    I like your take on this video Jim. I’m not a fan of Hillary, but I don’t think she should be criticized for the video. As you mentioned, the real tragedy is that this is what the American people want to see. It will be interesting to see where this election eventually takes us…

    You’ve got to be kidding me, a video that automatically pops up and plays when I come to your website? That could possibly be the most annoying thing I’ve ever seen on a website. Don’t think I’ll be coming back here again.

    Jacob… you know, you’re right. I tested it for a few days, but man, it is annoying. Removing now.

    @Absinthe, Yep.
