Brand new Brand YOU
"Personal branding reflected in the zeitgeist. Watching the pros in entertainment, politics, business. And now you. What makes YOU different?"

Like every year, all the award shows reach their climax at the end of February with the Oscars. To target the younger, urban people this year, Chris Rock will host this event. His promotion seems to be making statements like “only gay men watch the oscars” (the latest update is, as far as I know “the only men watching the oscars, who aren’t in the entertainment industry, are gay”… whatever). He even complained about the 5 sec time delay that is meant to prevent “scandals” like Janet Jackson’s Nipplegate or Michael Moore spreading his political “visions.”

Reporting on Rock’s remarks, Reuters observed Monday that the Oscar show’s producers “are getting what they paid for when they hired … [Rock] — a bit of pre-show controversy that could boost TV ratings.”

Good to know. At least Chris Rock understands what he is payed for. Looks like he could be a safe promotion bank for any new movie…
