Reality-TV human baby giveaway,
pissed-off Uri Geller claims trademark
breach
04/29/2004 01:32 PMThe ABC-TV program 20/20 will air a contest between five couples on
the show this Friday -- the winners get to adopt a real-live, pooping,
crying baby. So, let me get this straight. You can't say "fuck," but
you
can broadcast a raffle for a human being?
What's that? You say the program and host Barbara Walters have gone
too far this time? What do you know about television? ABC knows a
winner when it sees it and this is Nielsen gold, my friend. A reality
show with a human life on the line -- all disguised as news
programming. Let the other shows have half-naked people betraying each
other on a deserted island. Give them the half-naked people eating
buckets of bug eyes. And the half-naked people putting up with Donald
Trump. And the half-naked people trying to get other half-naked people
to marry them.

Thanks to several BB readers who pointed to this,

UPDATE: STOP PRESS! The real scandal here? Celebrity
spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller is outraged at news of the 20/20 baby
giveaway episode. He's planning legal action, and claims he owns a
worldwide patent on any reality TV show that involves winning a baby.
"I will speak to my patent attorney," says Geller, "I own the idea."
Whatever, dear BoingBoing readers, but let me set the record straight:
I own the patent on any reality-TV show involving live
mudwrestling smackdowns between Uri Geller and Barbara Walters, and I
will personally bend the spoon of anyone who forgets it. Link to Reuters story.

Bollywood Vanilla Coke ad which kicks

05/30/2004 05:44 PM
BoingBoing reader
Vishal points us to a spectacularly
cheesy Indian TV ad starring yet another one of my
fut
ure husbands (look, any fella who eschews SMS for pigeon as
preferred love-note carrier is alright by me).
Vishal says, "This Ad is really popular in India, and I was surprised
to find that the good people at Coke have it online too (RealPlayer).
It features one of the hottest young actors in Bollywood, Vivek Oberoi, and features
many in-jokes to '70s Bollywood films (note, especially, the lightbulb
dress in the 3rd segment, a direct lift from a classic 70's movie)."
Footnote to menswear trendwatchers: take a tip from Vivek, at left --
pink vomit prints are the new black.
Update: BoingBoing reader Berklee totally
harshes my mellow by saying, "Excellent choice for a future husband,
but you'll have to wait until he's done with Aishwarya Rai, I'm afraid.
Meanwhile, I recommend [a 2002 film starring Oberoi titled] Company. Go rent it
(or download it) and enjoy this un-Bollywood-like gangster-movie!"

Free baby photo trojan gets new moms to
sell baby-privacy
Free baby photo trojan gets new moms to
sell baby-privacy
04/04/2005 06:24 AMCory 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.
