Underage Marketing

Politicians Try To Protect Kids From
Underage Marketing 04/08/2005 06:26 PM
Politicians never seem to tire of overr eaching into internet-related legislation. If anything, it seems to be picking up. Today's example involves lawmakers in Massachusetts who have taken up the cause of underage … word-of-mouth and viral marketing. Yes, that's right. A proposed bill in that state would prohibit kids under 16 from participating in "online buzz" marketing campaigns without parental consent. Finally, someone is taking on that great scourge, ad consumption by minors! Not to mention that it's so broadly written, you could arrest an entire middle school for text messaging each other about American Idol. With any luck, this meddling and unenforceable drivel will die before reaching a vote. Adding to the story's absurdity, leaders of the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) and Viral + Buzz Marketing Association (VBMA) are weighing in on the issue. It appears there are two organizations dedicated to such activity and looking after the interests of impressionable children. One of them has its own confe rence, but perhaps they didn't get the word out enough. Sadly, a misguided law such as this would only obscure a legitimate debate about the many more subtle ways companies are influencing children -- and the ways their parents are letting it happen -- through a host of media and otherwise.

Online Betting Routes Around Bookies

Online Betting Routes Around Bookies 11/03/2003 01:28 PM
There used to be a lot of hype about how the internet was going to do away with the need for "middlemen". It turns out that never happened, because there actually are reasons why many middlemen exist. However, if the internet can make things more efficient, or move some of the burden around, then it probably does make sense. That appears to be what's happening in the UK with an online betting site that takes bookies out of the equation and lets people connect directly to one another to make bets on sporting events. Whereas a bookie makes money on the odds they set, this site just takes a commission off of winnings, letting the people making the best set their own odds. In other words, it's a real exchange, modeled on the stock market, with buyers looking for sellers (and vice versa) as opposed to one central bookmaker taking bets based on odds they set.

DVD Player Blamed for Fatal Crash 07/27/2004 06:19 PM

Trial examines role of dashboard electronics: Interesting legal case based around the latest road tech craze.

In what may be the first trial of its kind in the nation, prosecutors have accused the pickup truck's driver of second-degree murder for watching a movie instead of the road when he crashed head-on into the Jeep. [...]

Initial Alaska State Trooper reports said Petterson was at fault when he took his eyes off the road to reach for a soda. Stein, though, will try to prove that the DVD player was on, apparently playing the movie "Road Trip."

The guy in front of me at a light the other day was playing "The Lion King." I got to see the Simba and Scar duke it out before the light went green.
