Free baby photo trojan gets new moms to

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.

Joy Division, fancy

know? Fleshbot reports that in this viral marketing vid from Agent
Provocateur, "one of our favorite Joy Division songs gets the full-on
cheesecake S&M treatment." You'll need Windows Media Player to watch
it, which is a total buzzkill, but the nipple wrenches kinda make up
for it. The song will be released as a single on a promo CD in August.

What President are we talking about? Why, Saparmyrat Niyazov, the

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. "Just win, baby"
