Actually there is tons that hasn't been said about it.

True.  There was a lot I hadn't heard about the data until LMH said it last night (before I  fell asleep).  She's always good at presenting lots of facts that might be relevant to the topic.

[Robert]

Art probably likes to have Linda as a guest. She gives him plenty of smoking time, what with her prerecorded interviews and prepared papers she reads from as if she is answering questions off the top of her head.  Art called her out on it once, years ago when he said she was reading an answer, but that he was ok with it.  That's her style though, so more power to her. 

That's why her delivery always sounds stilted to me, but it's worth it because she presents lots of facts.  If she has to write that stuff down & read it to remember it all, it's worth it.  Remember, she's just a reporter, not an expert on the subjects she reports on.  She does a great job AFAICT.

[Robert]

He was inferring that Art has those tendencies, yes.

And I have a question for you, you fucking smartass.  If you think that lowly of Art, why are you constantly on this forum and listening to his show?  What the fuck is wrong with you?

Reminds me of my family.  The last decade of his life, my father was married to a foreigner who was my younger sister's age, ~40 yrs. younger than Daddy.  (Mother'd been considerably younger than him too.)  It bothered him when I was interested in a particular woman considerably older than myself, thought I should go for younger women.  However, he was really outraged when I told him I was attracted to children.  I'm not a pedophile in the sexy way, but ever since I was a child, I had more affection for babies & the young than most boys seem to.  Daddy couldn't seem to think you could legitimately love non-family without wanting to fuck, so he also thought I should break up w a particular woman who wanted to stay friends without fucking.  She's still my closest friend.

The Flintstones used sponsor products placement quite a bit early on.  In addition to the cigarettes (Winstons?), they also showed the family drinking Welch's grape juice, eating some cereal, and, after the birth of Peebles, the "Peebles Building Boulders" derivied from the show and sold as an alternative to blocks for kiddos.

Actually they didn't use placements in that sense.  By the 1960s, sponsors' commercials still frequently were set in the show's world, but they were prerecorded distinct ads with fades to black (or other ads) separating them from show content, rather than being seamless as was sometimes done in the 1950s.  Actual placement as part of the show was not in common use in fiction TV then, only in non-fiction.  By the 1970s there was the greatest separation between sponsorship & content that there'd ever be in TV.  Product placements in fiction shows came back in later.

What happened was that Flintstones branded products were modeled on things shown on the program, so what appeared to be placements were not.

[Robert]

lol remote viewing. How do people still believe in remote viewing?

Have you ever tried it?

Eat a bullet, pedo.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

I STILL don't understand how it worked but 8-Track was boss. I don't think even Mobis-stripes or RCH can tell me how that worked, and so awesomely.

Apparently you never had the player eat one and have to take it apart because the tape snapped and part of it sprung back inside. EEEeeeee-Gads, what a mess.
When playing, the tape winds around the outside of the inner spool and feeds to the player head from the inside of the spool. But be warned, go too heavy on the cellophane tape for the splice, and it'll change to the next track when the player hits it. And when you're separating the casing, the tape has a tendency to unwind all over the place. If you want to have a couple of hours of riotous fun, take one apart and see if you can then get it back together and able to play

[GravitySucks]

Exactly

[CornyCrow]

I'm so glad that I'm a Time Traveler for cases such as LMH.  God, does that lady drone on.  I can pleasantly skip through the interview until I find an interesting part.  What is most distressing is the way Linda refuses to answer a question simply and directly and she will NOT give up that mike back to Art no matter what.  What's wrong with her?

Makes sense for the building boulders and Pebbles' cereal, but clearly not the case for Winston cigarettes and Welch's Grape Juice since both products pre-dated the program.

Please choose your words more wisely next time.

I'm not a pedophile in the sexy way

1. Please look up the meaning of the word pedophile.
2. Did you mean to say sexual instead of sexy. It doesn't matter because...
3. Refer to point #1

[ZomZom]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh...i hate that quote close quote crap lol

It was a momentous day in paranormal journalism history when she shifted from "end quote" to "unquote."  Or was it the other way around?  Anyway it looks like we are now in the "close quote" era. The future has arrived!

Love LMH. Only about halfway through the archive but enjoying it very much.

[aldousburbank]

She's still my closest friend.

That's not what she told me last night. 😜

[jblank]

Howdy, folks!  Great day here in Virginia as voters successfully beat back the Bloomberg Mafia.

Yes, good job!

I miss cored rectums and chupacabra and witness testimony

There are plenty of cored rectums on Whitley's show.

I've stuck with her through her early, middle, and late quote eras.  Glad she's still goin' strong.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Wait, the Flinstone's was a spin-off from a cigarette ad?

[VtaGeezer]

I still like her too, though she can be tedious.  She makes up for it by running down credible : sources and always telling pretty thorough story.

"I'm LMH and I don't do conversation." - LMH

She probably never said this. But maybe. Sure seems like it.

Who said they weren't?  But those were distinct ads for them, not placements.

The trouble with a placement is that once it's paid for, it gets shown again every time the program is rerun, and the production wouldn't look good dropped as an ad into another program.  A separately produced ad is modular.  For instance, outside of those Flintstones ads, the cigarets shown on the show were unbranded or given some fake Stone Age brand.  The ads themselves stood alone & didn't necessarily mesh with the plot of a particular episode.

Another Flintstones sponsor was Miles Labs' One-A-Day vitamin tabs.  There were ads for them featuring the Flintstones that could be shown on the show, or dropped into commercial breaks in other shows.  That also didn't stop them from spinning off their own Flintstones brand of chewable vitamins.

Contrast that sort of advertising with product placements.  The premier episode of Smallville featured a shot of Clark Kent opening a refrigerator that was completely filled with cans of one brand of soda that, ironically, I can't remember!  (Might've been Dr. Pepper or Royal Crown.)  Of course the audience was expected to groan-laugh at such an obvious placement, because who would have nothing else in a refrigerator?  But they can't make more revenue selling that for the reruns or the DVDs, and they can't slip that shot into some other show.

I know, it's one of those words like "anti-semitic" that are supposed to be particular constructs and not be taken according to their etymology.  I was being cute, the way Nasser asked, "How can I be an anti-semite?  After all, I am a Semite."

2. Did you mean to say sexual instead of sexy.

I was being cute again, using the word "sexy" partly to mean "sexual", & partly in the sense of "trendy" or "hot topic-wise".

So I did choose my words carefully, but trollishly.

[Robert]

Wait, the Flinstone's was a spin-off from a cigarette ad?

No, but there have been animated programs spun off of ads.

The Flintstones were a rip-off from 2 sources: The Honeymooners and Stone Age Cartoons.

What in the ever loving fuck did I just read?

[Robert]

What in the ever loving fuck did I just read?

A discourse about how people mix up affection w sexuality, as well as general attraction to the young.

I actually toned down the trolling, because I could've written the full statement, that Daddy was really outraged when I told him I was attracted to children, dogs & cats.
