Free baby photo trojan gets new moms to
sell baby-privacy 04/04/2005 06:24 AM
Cory Doctorow: A friend of mine worked at Procter and Gamble when they hit on the idea of giving away baskets of baby-related freebies to new moms. The idea was that a couple days after the family went home and they needed more diapers, mom would send dad out with the package from the freebies and say, "More like these, please." It's pretty clever, and I'm cool with it -- especially now that the whole thing is handled through brokers who take products from a variety of vendors, with input from maternity wards.

That, I think, is a pretty good way of marketing to new families. It doesn't compromise privacy, it gives them something they need, and it doesn't force them or lock them in. It's informative, useful, and respectful (provided that the marketing makes it clear that there's no medical endorsement of these products).

Compare that to this: a service that sneakily gets moms to agree to a "free baby photo" while they're signing all their necessary medical forms on the morning of their delivery. The company that takes the picture then sells your contact info to anyone who'll buy it.

On the morning of the delivery, the nurse hands a sheaf of forms to the mother-to-be. Buried within is a release form offering a free portrait of the new baby. Mom is wired to three different machines, having her pulse and blood pressure measured automatically while two others sensors detect uterine contractions and the baby’s heart rate and another chattering electromechanical behemoth plots a seismograph of both...

...[T]he photo enterprise is run by a third party, Growing Family. They’ll shoot a picture of your munchkin, in exchange for his or her name and birthdate and your full name and address...

Growing Family will use your information from time to time to promote additional products, services, rewards and special offers from Growing Family Network and its select Network Partners.

Another friend of mine had his baby daughter die from crib-death a few weeks after she was born. For years afterward, he and his wife got a steady stream of marketing materials, including ghastly "birthday cards" from marketers who'd bought the information that they'd had a baby, but never received the message that the baby had died. Needless to say, when their next baby was born, they never, ever bought products from the companies that ghoulishly continued to market to their dead daughter. Link (via A Whole Lotta Nothing)

The President plans yet another silly boondoggle and introduces faith -based driver education. What President are we talking about? Why, Saparmyrat Niyazov, the president-for-life of Turkmenistan. Or, as he likes to be called, "Turkmenbashi"--the " ;leader of all Turkmen".

He's got a lot of spiritual ideas and 24/7 TV coverage. Hey--he's against gold teeth and circuses. If it weren't for his dismal human rights record, I might vote for him myself.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that there are, in fact, much worse choices than the ones I have for November.

Rosemary's Baby at the DNC

Rosemary's Baby at the DNC 07/28/2004 04:32 PM

You know, it's really difficult for me to tell if Ann Coulter is the 2nd coming of Senator McCarthy or a comic genius. I usually don't bother reading her writing as it has often left me with the same feeling I had after reading Mein Kampf or the Unabomber's manifesto. I was rather amazed to read that USA Today dumped her column reporting on the DNC this week which made me curious enough to read the offending text just to see what could have possibly made her persona non grata with a newspaper that has more colour graphics than actual news since reading is hard for the average American. It's impossible to discern if she's being funny or if she's really as insane as she appears.

Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazened with the "F-word" are my opponents.  Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling. 

[...]

As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it's because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the UN Security Council's approval.  Plus, it's no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention.

I think I need to make a banner that reads "AA-Cup, corndog eatin', cotton wearin' pie wagons for KERRY!", go round up my fellow small boobed femmes and show up at the GOP convention. Coulter looks like a man and isn't exactly well endowed herself so maybe she's saying that she just hangs around the pretty girls since every pretty girl has an ugly sidekick to make her look good. Voting Republican obviously didn't give her big boobies or improve her looks. Perhaps someone forgot to tell her about plastic surgery to giveth what god hath not.

But, seriously, the thought of even one person reading her shit and thinking it's the gospel makes my skin crawl. The Dems are the "Spawn of Satan" now? That rates right up there with the 'evildoers', 'axis of evil' and 'crusade'. It reminds me that these folks who love this kind of dialogue are those who don't think for themselves much and use the word 'flock' in a context other than sheep. They're registered to vote and they vote in large numbers. Expats and excapees who have not registered for an absentee ballot should do so as soon as possible. Please register. Please vote. It's a slim chance that we'll succeed in removing Bush from office, but hope is all we have.

And, Ann Coulter, wherever you are, thanks for reminding me that I needed to register to vote and for giving me the resolve to vote in spite of my waning hope for change. I don't hate America, but I do hate Americans like you who have been placed in positions of power/influence instead of prison or a mental institution.

Clues include suggestive newspaper ads from the period and artifacts such as "a large number of liquor bottles... Alongside... an unusually dense collection of rouge pots". [more...]

San Francisco, baby...

San Francisco, baby... 08/13/2004 01:59 AM

Ping. Now in San Francisco after cool drive with fun people in which I mostly slept and pointed at wind farms and acres of densely packed cows. Had subsequent great fun at the SixApart Mixer thing where I met loads of people - some for the first time, others not. Looked slightly nervous around some people who do really good work. Touched a couple of them without them noticing (or at least without them calling the police). Got a free USB dongle thing and saw the 3.1 release of MT which doesn't seem overly dramatic at first but kind of sits in the back of your head and wiggles its tush in the direction of interesting things. Cab back to Leslie's place - talking about The O.C. and TV shows in general when I get to pull out my trump card - super-secret super-cool thing that made Leslie go oooooh. Don't think I'm going to make it to LobbyCon now though. Shame!

I'm quite enjoying not taking this weblog as seriously as normal for a few days. It feels pretty liberating, although possibly not very productive or good in the longer term. God knows what it's going to be like going back to London. I can already feel it on the horizon and must confess am vaguely dreading it.

You Haven't Lived Until... (a.k.a. 666).

You've dumped 6 full ounces of meticulously gathered breast milk onto the kitchen floor—and considered for more than a fleeting moment soaking it up with a clean sponge and squeezing it back into the bottle.

You've watched your 6 week old retrieve his wayward pacifier and reinsert it. (Cue theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.)

Your baby gives you his first smile. And 5 more for good measure.
