Déjà Vu, The Movie. Déjà Vu, Real Life.

Just watched the move Déjà Vu with Denzel Washington. Very interesting. I might write a longer analysis later, but one interesting thing, they chose a domestic terrorist as the bad guy. White Male. With violent fantasies. Decides he needs to get back at The Government. I of course wonder what he read, watched and listened to that made him think that "sending a message" of violence is the only way that people will listen to him.

Sorry. I promised myself a short post. Two Déjà Vu moments. Buried in yesterday's post was this jewel that Rogers says to Nonie Darwish that his impression of Egyptians and other Arab cultures is that for them:


Lying is as natural as breathing.” (Audio link)
--Lee Rogers, KSFO (An ABC Radio Disney Station) 11/27/2006



The first part of his quote I was trying to remember where I've heard that line "some of my best friends are" blank, before. It usually comes right before the person insults an entire group of people. Where have I heard that before? Who talks like that?

Second thing that sounded familiar was what happened with the ads sponsoring the WSJ Report. They seem to just switch in mid-week mid-cycle rather abruptly. That kind of thing happened when advertisers pulled their ads from Sussman's show. Hmmm. I wonder what that is about?

But for Disney ABC Radio hosts at KSFO the pattern continues with the new advertiser. They tainted the company's brand RIGHT OFF THE BAT! Way to go! I'm sure that Ben Bridge is very excited with the special messed up attention they got from Rogers. (Audio Link)

What's that line, I don't care what they say, just say my name right?

Maybe BEN BRIDGE would like to know who's messing up their commercials now. I wonder if any Arabs are in their business? Or are customers? Nah. They never buy luxury watches.

Just remember managers and advertisers, be careful when you ask Rogers to be respectful or reasonable,

"Nobody is gonna tell me, what to talk about or not talk about or in what fashion on this radio program. It ain't gonna happen!"

Wow. I feel like I've written this post before. Hmmm.

I think Sy Hersh said this about Kissinger last year at the Mario Savio Memorial Lecture:

Umm, I'm not sure that was it -- maybe it was more recently when Kissinger was outed as a regular Bush2 advisor...

your slander and libel regardin "shitty" is going to cost you. he's saying chivy like some guy from texas. it would be so out of context to rip the advertiser during sussman's stellar live endorsement that it wouldn't make sense. be careful spocko. they're coming for you for lying to their advertisers
