Scuba Forum / General / July 2004What the Discovery Channel didn't want you to see
hey shark freaks - Some of you may have seen these new Shark Week commercials - but you probably didn't since Discovery big wigs axed them soon after they aired. I was able to tap into the corporate site -- check out the link below see them -- they are hilarious. They'll probably be taken offline soon so check them out sooner than later. http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/email/email.html > http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/email/email.html Those are too funny...better than the real commercials any day.

They were down when I got to them, and I'd like to see 'em. > Did anyone save those to disk? They were down when I got to them, > and I'd like to see 'em. I just checked, as of 6:03 a.m. EST, Monday, July 26... the sight loaded up and played. A second pop-up window opens with the video, so if your browser is set to deny pop-ups that may be the problem. Here is the address again: http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/email/email.html I get the "site unavailable". >>Did anyone save those to disk?

Pretty funny, though for a spoof promo, I thought they could do better. ;-) I saw them was that a corn dog the reaper was eating?

Wonder how much money was wasted doing those? >> I saw them was that a corn dog the reaper was eating? >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Yep, that was the ticket.

Digital video camera from Best Buy: $500 Staff writer as actor: $25 Cheesy costumes: $50 Spoof commercials: priceless  Signaturedillon When I was a kid, I thought the angel's name was Hark and the horse's name was Bob. > >> I saw them was that a corn dog the reaper was eating? > >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Cheesy costumes: $50 > Spoof commercials: priceless Never worked in Holywood I see. You forgot the teamsters, the grips, the A/D, the fluffer...oh wait, thats another part of the industry. > > > Good call - I had my popup's disabled. ... saw them.

Who cares - it wasn't MY money. ;-) Unless you live in some non consumeristic universe, yes, it is your money. The media is about advertising, advertising is about selling products. Media outlets pay for and develope programing so they can sell advertising during those programs. The cost of the progam development effects the cost of the advetising. The cost of the advertising is passed on to...YOU, the consumer. In a capitolist economy, the consumer pays for everything. > > > > Good call - I had my popup's disabled. ... saw them.

Since Discovery is a cable/satellite only channel, you pay for it even if you NEVER buy anything from an advertiser on the show. >> "HLAviation" <caphenning@RMyahoo.com> wrote in message >news:<WcjNc.15028$iK.10785@newsread2.news.atl.earthlink.net>...
