Brainteaser for the day

Just in case you’re in need of mental stimulation, here’s a trivia question for you: how many actors can you think of who have played the roles of both Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty? You can pick anyone from theatre, film or TV, but no naughty understudies doubling up.

I can think of a couple, but I won’t tell you their names until tomorrow.

The joys of a precisely targeted marketing campaign

Apparently, I’m a “reputable influencer” since I mentioned Television.

Hi,

I just found your Television-related blog entry: http://www.the-medium-is-not-enough.com/2006/05/cbs_shows_coming_back.php, and I think you may be of some help to me. I’m reaching out to you on behalf of M80 & Fox regarding a new Vanished viral video. I think you or your readers will find it very worthwhile. You can view the video here: http://assets.m80im.com/webmasters/vanished/Vanished.htm.

Since you mentioned Television, I thought that you might be interested in posting the video on your blog? You seem like a reputable influencer, so I think you’d be a big help to us.

You can check out the video and more here: http://assets.m80im.com/webmasters/vanished/Vanished.htm

Please let me know if you’re interested!

Thanks!

Brandon, M80

‘Reached out to’? “Poor us. We’re in such terrible trouble. Please help us. We’re reaching out to you.” If I had Fox’s cash, I don’t think I’d be in trouble or in need of reaching out to anyone.

Send me the screener, Fox, and I’ll give that a review. But your virals are pants. And so are your spam-boys…
