Brady, you wrote regarding the Sesame Ad controversy: "It may be new." But come on, Brady, let's be more aggressive now. Heck, whether recognized or not, I've been, for the most part, right dating back to when Wired unfairly slammed Zulu a long time ago. Regarding this weekend's SesameAd understandings or misunderstandings, I even gave a lot of leeway to the possibility that I was wrong due to a rusty memory on my part or fast action-no-zip cognizance (moving too fast for recall) on my part. See my ESVS/Yahoo post where I described that possibility. But guess what? It's not that my memory was rusty, or that I moved so quickly as to never have registered the Sesame Ad thought to begin with. It's a fact: sesame-ad.com IS NEW!!! With a big new client, to boot: Proctor & Gamble! Plus, I like potato chips, though I've historically refrained from eating a lot of Pringles! Hm, maybe that'll change. I guess indeed I've become victim to a certain kind of Zulu advertising! Brother Felix? I'll run interference for Felix any day. He's always been sincere and right on. Here's a good question: Does anyone think perhaps Merklermedia knew about Sesame Ad while it continued to rate ZuluMedia as "Best in Class" even though the company didn't have, on surface, its act together--and still, on the surface, doesn't appear to have its act together? I can't resist, but still another: Does Proctor and Gamble's presence on Sesame Ad demonstrate that they are a new Zulu client, and that Pattison Hayton is therefore a witch? (LOL) Remember P&G had to weather a horrible PR controversy on that one. I guess, if anything, we learn again that people will stoop to, not almost anything, but anything in order to prevent something from happening that they really don't want to happen. I'm going to equate the whisper campaign against Procter & Gamble to something similar to the whisper campaign against Pat Hayton and Zulu. What's true is true; what's not is not. Ironically, advertising, if you think about it, is only a small part to what truth is. I've learned, from this Zulu investing experience, to equate a new word to the subliminal. Jerkism! And it comes from underhanded business competition and from those who have been burned by the process of Zulu's evolution. Kick in a couple of greedy bastards along the way, and you've got the current situation. Believe me, we've seen the best, I mean the worst, of 'em! As an example of their work, check out Zulu's share price! Skeptics will soon be conditioned to read it and weep, because such a share price will be no more. We may well see a requium, but it will be for the Zulu skeptic; not for Zulu. Enjoy the week! PartyTime
