...didn't know anything about marketing, you might think it was important to advertise what a new product does. The makers of HeadOn aren't so naive. Their commercials have an actor repeating "HeadOn. Apply directly to the forehead" while another presses what appears to be a glue stick to her brow. No one mentions that the substance is supposed to cure headaches homeopathically. Early ads did, but focus groups showed that the superrepetitive version made people remember the name the most...
...censors are at a loss to explain why they didn't touch a kiss between two men in the urban comedy Arisan, but cut a heterosexual kiss in the biopic Gie. "We have 12 categories of kisses," explains Said, adding that permissible kisses include pecks on the cheek and forehead but not on the lips if it could "arouse one's passion."

They told him he was stealing South African land, taking South African money. They called him "kuwara" - nigger. "But they were black," says Abdi...
...There is something slightly anachronistic about all this. Romney is the most perfect iteration I've seen of the television-era candidate. At one point, I squinted a bit and saw him in the middle distance: blue suit, white shirt, red tie, high forehead, slick black hair, tan, tall and ramrod straight - he could have been an exhibit in some future Museum of Natural History: Politicianus americanus. Matt Lauer and a Today show crew were following him around, and at the high school speech Romney did a slightly cheesy thing, inviting Lauer on stage, amping his candidacy with a.m. glitz...
