    'Buffy' Creator Snags Emmy For 'Horrible' Idea : NPR

    Network "Suits" - do you understand the big picture here? Whedon's - Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - shows that the shit-bird sensibility is coming to an end & the shake up among creative industries is only going to march on. It's time to eliminate the inflated thinking - more is better - and embrace multiple niches (entertainment, news, etc.)

    Granted, not everyone can pull in talent like Neil Patrick Harris & Nathan Fillion, etc. - but there is a plethora of really talented people that are figuring out a way around "the system" and shifting perceptions of success. The fact that this was created during the 2008 writers strike only adds fuel to the fire.

    The bottom line - corporate agendas are as see through as cellophane. People get that you need to make money, but don't devalue the need to entertain + inform first.

    If you have no "strategy of share" (share in the giving sense) then rethink what you're about to introduce to the world and pull yourself into the 21st Century.

    I work in advertising, but try not to make it my life. I love writing, art and design - and focus my time on these when I'm not working or hanging out with my family.
