The Simpsons Rating Triumph - Blame YouTube

Quite a few sites are reporting that The Simpsons latest Treehouse of Horror episode grabbed the shows best rating in five years. So far, no-one has used this fact to jump to a ridiculous conclusion just because it fits their beliefs about video sharing. So let me.

The reason The Simpsons did so well in the ratings this week was because someone at Fox was smart enough to upload its Mad Men parody to Youtube a few days before the episode screened. I saw it on TV Tonight, then posted it here. Duncan Riley saw it here, and posted it to The Inquistr. Someone no doubt saw it there, and posted it on their site, and well, you see where this is going. Just as Tina Fey suddenly made SNL relevant again, and spurned a trillion websites to post her Palin parodies, this clip reminded people how awesome The Simpsons could be. So media companies, can you all stop suing YouTube for the free publicity its providing? And if you insist on taking clips off YouTube and using your own crappy media player instead, can you atleast make the clips embeddable?

Guys Who Get It Part 2: The Guardian Newspaper

Justin recently wrote one of the best posts on this here site about dudes who get it... Although this isn't film related, today I'm equally inspired by The Guardian Newspaper . The first newspaper in the world to offer full articles in their RSS feed. Dear ABC, Fairfax, News.com.au etc... I now suck in all 'print' knowledge purely via RSS, and only to feeds with full articles. Sadly this means i really don't know what the hell is happening in the world outside of Tech News, Mac News, Film News, and LolCats. Thanks to The Guardian, i realise we're still at war, which is a shame, and that there's been a spot of bother with the economy lately.  Thanks Guardian, for realising it is 2008.
