re: Goodbye Patrick Swayze

RIP Patrick Swayze. Your memories will remain forever. After a long battle with pancreatic cancer, the actor Patrick Swayze has passed away. He was 57 years of age. Patrick Swayze was diagnosed in 2008 with stage 4 cancer, and it metastasized to his liver. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive forms, with less than 5% of patients surviving 5 years, most succumbing within 6 months of diagnosis. Swayze leaves behind an intimidating body of work, including smashing successes in blockbuster films, hit TV shows, and even a few highly regarded indie appearances and stage work. He will certainly be sorely missed, and there will be many paycheck loans worth for tributes to <a href="personalmoneystore.com/.../">Patrick Swayze</a>.

Thank you Dolli John for your not so subtle plug! You are right though - a lot of people are scared of the cures being proposed by the authorities and Big Pharma.

Today's the world is returning towards natural way of curing due to the harmful effects of today's chemical & synthetic medicines. People are deeply worried on this issue and also insisting to use natural way of curing to get health & security.

Our vitiligo cure process is 100% Natural / herbal.

Ok, here's my theory. To varying degrees, we experience only two emotions - love and fear. It's primal, cro-magnon. Hate evolves out of fear. It's a symptom of fear. So if you use fear to sell something, you also risk invoking hate.

Love, hate. Survival, reward. We are simple creatures. It's easy to start a stampede. Just give us something to run away from. It's harder to get people to confidently (hopefully or bravely) walk towards something new or unknown.

Audio Android is right. The ad industry enjoys a good stampede.

Using fear, insecurity, shame, guilt etc to sell $h*t isn't new.

It's one of the many despicable sides of the ad' industry.

Hi Jo,

The great thing about board games is they dont consume electricity, and people actually interact in REAL TIME. Wow! now that's a novely theses days! Everyone is becoming so self-absorbed, I wonder if the true meaning of communication is becoming lost.

The internet is a great force for democracy and effecting change as your blog entry points out.

The problem is there is a danger of it becoming a tool of repressive states both in terms of citizen monitoring (eg NokiaSeamans phone equipment in Iran) then punishment AND the big players (like Google) are abandoning their ideas to gain market share and thus contribute to censorship.

That was fun.

It's a good exercise in how well long term branding works or fails in perception.

Nick, it never crossed my mind that these plates could actually be an investment - silly me! I'll go for something like 'Fat Bonus' - that'll definitely make a come back as the bankers seem to be acting as shamelessly as ever despite our generous bailout.
