Jay and Ryanne interviewed in Beijing on BoingBoing TV   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #71923 of 76661 |
http://tv.boingboing.net/2008/08/25/boing-boing-tv-proti.html

"Last week, eight American citizens were detained in Beijing for
participating in pro-Tibetan sovereignty protests near the site of
the 2008 Olympics, with Students for a Free Tibet. Two videobloggers
who documented those protest and guerrilla art installations evaded
detention, and spoke to Boing Boing TV on Friday Beijing time about
why they were there, what they witnessed, and why it mattered.

"Jay Dedman and Ryanne Hodson of Ryanishungry.com spoke to us over
Skype from a hostel in Beijing. One of the actions they documented in
photo and video was the hanging of an "LED throwies" light banner,
below, which read "FREE TIBET." We agreed to hold this Boing Boing tv
episode until after we received word that they'd safely left the
country. They have returned home, so I am posting the piece today."

hmm... I had assumed that Heath was talking about overlay ads DURING the program. I don't have a problem with pre-roll and post-roll ads of whatever type....

... And maybe it's going to get better. BoingBoing is able to lure advertising because of the way the internet has been hyped up. But when the hype dies, and...

thinking about it, the main reason it was so obnoxious was because it came after the intro soundbite from jay and after the boingboing tv ident, so it wasn't...

I hear what you're saying, but bills have to be paid. I don't know anything about boingboing, so I can't speak for them specifically, but that's the game...

I don't think they have to have different advertisers for different moods. Their advertiser just needs to provide maybe two or three different styles of their...

It's funny I didn't even notice the ad's DURING the interview just the one's before and after....I was too distracked by the blonde to notice the overlays.....

I don't accept those excuses on their behalf. My point is not about art, or they way the advert affects the way the viewer engages with the interview. I...
