recession jokes.

This is a GREAT article from New York Magazine looking at how to tell a recession joke from some of NYC's favorite comedians.

Check it out, and check out some gems below:

(hey, we all need a good laugh from time to time right?)

"The recession has made me shrink my goals. I was talking to my girlfriend about a party the other day and said 'I hope I get free snacks and don't sweat too much,' but I now realize that's pretty much my entire life philosophy." —Max Silvestri, writer, comedian, host, Big Terrific

"With this economy, I've had to cut and watch my budget. I can't give up shoe and handbag shopping, so I started dating again to get some free meals." —Jill-Michele Meleán, comedian, Showtime's Hot Tamales

"I want to bring bartering back, because we don’t barter enough. I think we should barter. And I just like the word 'barter'. For example, why can’t I barter for stuff from Whole Foods? I would love to take some mugs from the Trump Tower Vegas my ex-mother-in-law gave me as a gift one year into Whole Foods and say “Can I just get a protein bar for these two mugs?” I mean seriously, It’s like $3.25. That’s a way for me to take goods that are valuable to someone but not necessarily valuable to me, and get something of value back." —Rachael Harris, comedian, actress, The Hangover

Hey Guys!

I know I posed something similar last week, but with the number of new people checking out the site (hi and welcome!) I figured I'd post about this again. This blog was started to track everything media, trends, pop culture, and technology related, and I have been looking at everything from the recession to social media (and some random stuffs in between). It's been rockin, and I appreciate you guys getting involved, adding your comments or emailing me articles to post (please keep doing that, btw!).

However, even though I know a lot of you guys are from the media & ad world, a lot of you aren't.

So, if there's something you'd like to see more of, or a topic you want me to cover, please let me know.

A few of you comedians have suggested I get more personal (I'm talking dating and weekend activities and what I had for dinner personal), which is a consideration, but it's far from what I've been writing about here (trust me, this nerd just isn't that cool. I swear). Never say never though...

But for reals, let me know via email. I'm super friendly, I swear!

Thanks, and keep emailing/facebooking/tweeting at me with your ideas and feedback!

hi, welcome, thanks!

So somehow I've picked up a whole lot more of you rockin readers the past few weeks, so, just wanted to say hi!

As you can see this blog is dedicated to all things media, consumer, pop culture, research, trend, and all that other fun stuff.

Is there other stuff you want to see here? I'm game! Clearly you're not coming here to find out what I'm up to this weekend (in case you are, but then that's another story...), but, if there's something you'd like me to cover, or cover more of, please let me know via comment section or email.

Thanks! :)

shalom!

Hey Guys! I'm off for a week to Israel, and will be checking in periodically. However, please feel free to post news or interesting links on the comments section. Thanks and have a happy new year!!

Hi Guys!

Just an FYI I'm heading to L.A. tomorrow (woot!) so I'll be posting later than usual...
