En los últimos años TBWA/España ha estado presentando excelentes one shots para Play Station; una costumbre que se está fortaleciendo y en conjunto con el trabajo global de la red, mantienen a flote a la ahora tercer consola más importante en ventas, y la segunda en portátiles (siempre detrás de la genial Nintendo).

Echarle la culpa a la publicidad por las pocas ventas de un producto como el Play Station es algo injusto, y si la poca salud financiera que tiene actualmente la PS3 es para asombrarse, también es cierto que le ha dado paso a su hermano menor, la Play Station Portable, con excelentes anuncios y aplicaciones; recordemos Perro Guía –obra también de la filial española de TBWA-, al que se le suma esta gran pieza con un gran e inteligente sentido del humor:

No hay mucho más qué decir: el ícono sobre el que descansa el concepto de la ejecución es bien conocido por todos, y la vuelta creativa que se le da con el visual es sencillamente excelente y provocativa.

Un gran acierto del Cliente (evidentemente Sony) es no insistir en mostrar el producto, ni siquiera en product shot, ya que no lo necesita; lo que sí hubiera sido un gran detalle es un casting de piernas más bonitas pero éso es otro tema y pensándolo bien hasta lo hace más interesante. Un trabajo que seguro veremos ganar en varios Festivales.

In 1898, the French writer Emile Zola wrote an open letter to the then French president in the newspaper L’Aurore, titled j’accuse (‘I accuse’), where he accused the French government of anti- Semitism towards Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer unfairly condemned for treason.

Now it is time for the people of India to say openly that which many, including within the Congress, think secretly and may utter in the privacy of their chambers.

It is not about Manmohan Singh, it is not even about Shivraj Patil, the fall guy; it is about that one person, the Eminence Grise of India. She who pulls all the strings, She whose shadow looms menacingly over so many, She who holds no portfolio, is just a simple elected MP, like 540 others, but rules like an empress.

Sometimes, one’s very physical presence at the top is enough to move things, to influence the course of events. One word from Her, a glance, a frown, are enough to put the whole heavy, inert, unwilling machinery of India’s bureaucracy and political system in full motion. Sometimes She need not say anything: in the true tradition of Bhakti, Her ministers, Her secretaries, interpret Her silences and rush to cater to Her western and Christian identity.

Nevertheless, she has said and acted enough so that one day she may stand accused on the pages of History for what she must have done to India.I’accuse Sonia Gandhi as being responsible for the tragedy of Mumbai, having emasculated India’s intelligence agencies by stopping them from investigating terror attacks in the last four years, including the Mumbai train blasts. She has also neutralised the ATS by ordering them at all costs to ferret out ‘Hindu terrorism’, which if it exists, has wrought minuscule damage compared to what Islamic terror has done since 2004. Did the US send a warning to India that there may be an attack on Mumbai and that the Taj would be one of the targets? Were these ignored because the ATS was too busy chasing Hindu ‘terrorists’ on Sonia’s orders?

I accuse Sonia and her government of having made the NSG the laughing stock of the world. How many times did the NSG (who took ten hours to reach Mumbai) claim that it had “sanitised the Taj and that the operation was over” and how many times did a bomb go off immediately after? For the last 20 years, the NSG has guarded VIPs and has become soft. See the comments of Israeli terror specialists, who said the NSG should have first sanitised the immediate surroundings of the places of conflict, kept the bystanders and press (who gave terrorists watching TV in the Taj rooms a perfect report of the security forces’ whereabouts) out of the place, gathered enough information about the position of the terrorists and hostages before taking action, instead of immediately engaging the terrorists, and ensuring the deaths of so many hostages.

I accuse Sonia of having let her Christian and Western background, in four years, divide India on religious and caste lines in a cynical and methodical manner.

I accuse Sonia of weakening India’s spirit of sacrifice and courage, so that 20 terrorists (or less) held at ransom the financial capital of India for more than three days.I accuse Sonia Gandhi of always pointing the finger at Pakistan, when terrorism in India is now mostly homegrown, even if it takes help, training, refuge and arms from Pakistan; of not warning Indians of the grave dangers of Islamic terror for cynical election purposes.

I accuse Sonia of being an enemy of the Hindus, who always gave refuge to persecuted minorities, and who are the only people in the world to accept that God may manifest under different names, in different epochs, using different scriptures.

I accuse Sonia Gandhi of taking advantage of India’s respect for women, its undue fascination with the Gandhi name, and its stupid mania for White Skin.

I’accuse Sonia of exploiting the Indian Press’ obsession with her. She hardly ever gave interview in 20 years, except scripted ones to NDTV, yet the Press always protects her, never blames her and keeps silent over her covert role.

I’accuse Sonia and her government of trying to make heroes of subservient and inefficient men to hide the humiliation of Mumbai 26/11. Before going to his death, Hemant Karkare, the ATS chief, was shown on television clumsily handling his helmet, as someone who uses it very rarely. Why did he die of bullet wounds in the chest when he was wearing a bullet-proof vest? Either Indian vests are inferior quality or he was not wearing one.

How did the terrorists who killed him and his fellow officer escape in the same vehicle used by the ATS chief ? Why did he and his officers go into Cama Hospital without ascertaining where the terrorists were? We honour his death, but these facts say a lot about the ATS’ battle-readiness.

Will someone in the Congress, someone who feels more Indian than faithful to Sonia, stand up and speak the truth? Who said, “Go after Hindu terrorists”? Who insisted on putting pressure on BJP governments in Karnataka or Orissa for so-called persecution of Christians, when Christians have always practised their faith in total freedom here, while their missionaries are converting hundreds of thousands of innocent tribals and Dalits with the billions of dollars given by gullible westerners? Who said, “Go soft on Islamic terrorism”? Who wants to do away with India’s nuclear deterrence in the face of Pakistani and Chinese nuclear threats, by pushing at all costs the one sided Indo-US nuclear deal, which makes no secret of its intention to denuclearise India militarily?

I am sure Sonia Gandhi has good qualities: she probably was a good wife to Rajiv, a good daughter in law to Indira and by all accounts, she is a good mother to her children. One also hears first-hand reports about her concern for smaller people, her dignity in the suffering that befell her when her husband was blown to pieces, and her courtesy with visitors.

Nevertheless, she is a danger to India.

Her very presence, both physical and occult, open the doors to forces inimical to India. Even Indian Christians should understand that she is not a gift to them: her presence at the top has emboldened fanatics like John Dayal or Valson Thampu, who practise an orthodox Christianity prevalent in the West in the early 20th century, but no longer, to radicalise their flock. Indian Christians should recognise that they have a much better deal here than Christians or Hindus have in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia or Saudi Arabia.

Under Sonia’s rule, Indian Muslims, too, have been used as electoral pawns. They have been encouraged to shun the Sufi streak, a blend of the best of Islam and Vedanta, for a hard-line Sunni brand imported from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

For the good of India, her civilisation, her immense spirituality and culture, Sonia Gandhi has to go and a government that thinks Indian, breathes nationalism and will protect its citizens must be voted to power.

Last sunday I got on the plane to Milan in order to attend Adobe Max Milan 2008, together with my colleagues Wim and Wannes and with Dimitri ( co-manager adobe usergroup and former classmate ). We were representing Boulevart as one of the Max Award Finalists in the develop category. As the only mobile entry that made it into the european finals we were already very proud of how far we got, together with our partner Barefoot.

The Wim Vanhenden Challenge

Sunday evening we announced the winners of our Shootemup contest, during the Adobe Usergroup Meeting that was hosted in our Hotel. I also informed the ( surprisingly large ) audience about the Wim Vanhenden Challenge that was going on at the Boulevart offices. Wim’s initiative to let us cut off his long rockstar hair if we won the award, resulted in a lot more than just a wild promise. A before and after picture was created, a facebook group was set up, the blogging started and a complete email campaign got orchestrated. That’s what I call working as a Boulevart Group!

We would like to thank everybody who voted for us and are very honoured to be part of such an active and open-minded community. If they were not laughing at Wim they were sending emails to their colleagues at home, asking them to vote for Boulevart. We really appreciate that guys!

Meet the finalists

On Monday we had the opportunity to showcase our mobile entry at the Adobe Community Lounge. We got a booth of our own where people could have a talk, drink or just take a look at our Rock Werchter guide running on the iphone. It was nice to meet the other finalists, have a talk with community members and of course enjoying an adobe sponsored meal! Well actually, Adobe was providing breakfast, lunch and dinner for all attendees, together with hot and cold drinks. No need to run out of energy at Max!

The 2008 Max Award Show

On Tuesday evening it finally began. After going to the rehearsal, Boulevart was ready for the Max Award Show. Having no clue who was going to win we were getting more and more excited & curious. It was definately on our mind this could turn out into Wim’s last moments as a long-haired rockstar. What happened then was probably the most amazing and exciting moment in my career so far. Check out the video to be part of it:

Brian Paddick has reportedly been refusing to do any press since leaving the jungle unless he is paid £10,000 for the privilege.  This is the most absurd think I’ve heard, these celebrities arefame whores who are trying to squeeze every penny out of their 15 minutes… And to think this man ran for Mayor of London.

A greedy greedy wimpish man

You may be thinking Brian is right to ask for more money to do press, but please bare in mind that despite the credit crunch these celebrities are paid thousands of pounds to be on the show and this fee does include related press.  The celebrities also get unrelated endorsement deals/press offers (Kerry Katona - Iceland) where they can get fees into the millions.

I doubt this will happen to Briam as he has been a complete wuss the whole show and has a very unlikable trait in his character.

Zimbabwe has declared a cholera outbreak blamed for killing more than 560 people, a “national emergency” and appealed for international aid to tackle the epidemic. David Parirenyatwa, the health minister, is saying there was a critical shortage of resources for dealing with the crisis.”Our central hospitals are literally not functioning. Our staff is demotivated and we need your support to ensure that they start coming to work and our health system is revived,” Parirenyatwa was reported as saying.

The UN humanitarian office estimates the death toll from a deadly cholera outbreak at 565 people, with Harare, the capital, the worst affected.Cholera, which brings on diarrhoea that can fast lead to severe dehydration and death, is preventable and treatable under normal circumstances.But Zimbabwe’s health sector is collapsing, with not enough money to pay for essential resources, while doctors and nurses often strike over pay.

Harare residents suffered a crippling 48 hour water cut, after the state-run water company ran short of aluminium sulphate, a chemical used to purify water, on Saturday.But Mzembi warned his ministry only had water treatment chemicals to last about 12 weeks, and called for donor support, the Herald reported.”I am appealing for at least 40 million rand [$3.89m] to purchase chemicals for the next two months and the money is needed between now and next Monday,” The Herald quoted him as saying.The Zimbabwe government also appealed for $450m in aid to deal with food shortages.

Zimbabwe is suffering the world’s highest inflation, officially estimated at 231 million per cent, unemployment of more than 80 per cent and dire food, water and fuel shortages.

We were pleased to contribute to this article in the Huntsville Times. (click the link for the full story). In particular it was nice to mention that we saw it coming. not that that is all that special, give the massive issues we are now facing.

Thursday, December 04, 2008 By GINA HANNAH Times Business Writer gina.hannah@htimes.com

Larger inventory, tight credit contribute to fall

After months of maintaining a somewhat even keel, Huntsville’s housing market now appears to be on track with national trends, with home sales plunging nearly 40 percent from last year.

The Huntsville Area Association of Realtors reported 276 homes sold in Madison County in November, down from 460 in the same month last year and down 25 percent from October.

Saw it coming

For months, the Huntsville market has seen only slight declines in sales - between 13 percent and 16 percent - compared with other parts of the country. Tom Brander of Birmingham-based Rudulph/Brander Real Estate Statistical Reports said sales data he observed in October led him to believe Huntsville’s relatively healthy market could be changing.

Rudulph/Brander collects data from multiple-listing services for the Huntsville, Birmingham and coastal Alabama markets, which it provides to large banks, developers and brokers. Brander said when he calculated October aggregate sales in the Huntsville metropolitan area, which includes Limestone, Morgan, Marshall and Jackson counties and Athens and Gadsden, he noticed a drop of 21 percent from September’s total sales, from $142 million to $112 million, and a 31 percent drop from October 2007.

“Huntsville no longer appears to be doing better, and the trends are ominous,” Brander said in a report last month. He said he believes Huntsville-area sales could drop to 2002-2004 levels before recovering because of increases in inventory, particularly in the higher price ranges.

“New houses over $400,000 are over a year (in inventory) and some price ranges are approaching three years of inventory,” he said.

Inventory is calculated by dividing the number of homes listed for sale in a month by the number sold that month. The result shows, at the present rate, how long it would take to sell every listed home.

“It’s probably going to get worse because the newer houses are skewed toward the higher price ranges.”

Homes under $300,000 have been selling more quickly than more expensive homes, he said, and the competition between new homes and existing but fairly new homes with motivated buyers is fierce.

“The used home (inventory) impacts the new, because builders have fixed costs, but owners have to sell their homes,” he said. “You can get very good deals on used houses.”

Bismilah al rahmán y rahim

Los malditos etarras me prohíben con su último atentado tomarme una buena dosis de sarcasmo y saciarme la gana de meterme con Arenas y Piqué, Trillo y Rajoy, que se están luciendo en sus declaraciones sobre los vuelos a Guantánamo con escala en España. Los malditos etarras nos llevan condenando, -en mi caso treinta años-, a tener que mantener un denominador común con gentuza como la del PP, pero es que ellos, los etarras, son solamente asesinos sin escrúpulos, y claro, todo queda podrido por contaminación de sus atentados.

En efecto, tenía ganas de hablar de Arenas, que se une a Cospedal en la denuncia de la filtración a la prensa de los documentos como una irresponsabilidad que pone en peligro la “seguridad nacional”. Es decir, el encubrimiento del terrorismo de Estado es “seguridad nacional”. O sea, que la nación pone su seguridad en manos de gente que se dedica a colaborar en una guerra sucia contra el terrorismo, es decir, los que nos defienden colaboran a conciencia con los torturadores. Mejor ni pensarlo. Daría argumentos hasta al más prudente ciudadano para que se convirtiera en anarquista.

Y en efecto, me ha hecho mucha gracia el episodio de Piqué acosado por el caso de Guantánamo tal y como nos lo narra Carlos E. Cué en El País. Es realmente el mejor episodio de la jornada de ayer del culebrón de los vuelos a Guantánamo. Debió ser muy interesante sentir como de repente todas las luchas confluían en el desprecio a ese personaje, símbolo del pelotazo, del cinismo, de la desfachatez, de la hipocresía y de la mala fe. La movilización contra el Plan Bolonia, que por cierto no es sino la continuidad, como señala un entrevistado hoy en el diario Público, de las luchas ya en 2001 contra la LOU (otra vez el gobierno de Aznar). La movilización contra las guerras y las ocupaciones en Palestina, Iraq y Afganistán.  Las luchas feministas altermundialistas y ecologistas que confluyen en el amplio movimiento de los Foros Sociales. Todo confluía en los arrebatos, los insultos y las provocaciones, las mascaradas y el bochorno de los estudiantes que protestaban contra la invitación de un socialista (!!!) a Piqué para ir a dar una conferencia sobre la “Crisis económica” (!!!!).

Desgraciadamente, ETA solo nos deja margen para unirnos todos contra ella. ETA es hoy nuestro enemigo.

Alexandros Panagoulis: The background

Thirty years after Alexandros Panagoulis died and fourty years after his attempt to kill the Greek dictator, a new book named “Alexandros Panagoulis: Leader of the revolution” was written by his collaborators and was introduced to the public.

A special citation to his poetic work brought back to light how he wrote his poetry on the walls of his cell or on small papers, often using his own blood as ink (as told in the poem ‘The Paint’).

While in prison his first collection in Italian titled Altri seguiranno: poesie e documenti dal carcere di Boyati (Others will Follow: Poetry and Documents of the Prison of Boyati) was published in Palermo in 1972 with an introduction of the Italian politician Ferruccio Parri and the Italian film director and intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini.

For this collection Panagoulis was awarded the Viareggio International Prize of Poetry (Premio Viareggio Internazionale) the following year. After his liberation he published his second collection in Milan under the title Vi scrivo da un carcere in Grecia (I write you from a prison in Greece) with an introduction by Pasolini.

Historic background

 The end of World War II led to civil war in Greece and triggered a 30 year national division.

The young and inexperienced King Constantine II clashed with liberal reformers, dismissing of centrist prime minister George Papandreou, Sr. as in 1965, causing a constitutional crisis known as the Apostasia of 1965.

In 1966 Constantine II of Greece sent his envoy Demetrios Bitsios to Paris on mission to convince Constantine Karamanlis to return to Greece and resume a role in Greek politics.

The dictatorship

 A group of right-wing army officers led by Brigadier Stylianos Pattakos and Colonels George Papadopoulos and Nikolaos Makarezos seized power in a coup d’etat in the morning of of 21 April 1967.

The coup leaders placed tanks in strategic positions in Athens, effectively gaining complete control of the city.

Realising that the counter coup had failed, Constantine II fled Greece on board the royal plane, taking his family and helpless Prime Minister with him.

They landed in Rome early in the morning of 14 December. Constantine remained in exile all through the rest of military rule (although nominally he continued as King until 1 June 1973) and was never to return to Greece as King.

Censorship and fictional enemies

 The colonels preferred to call the coup d’état of 21 April a “revolution to save the nation”.

Their official justification for the coup was that a “communist conspiracy” had infiltrated the bureaucracy, academia, the press, and even the military, to such an extent that drastic action was needed to protect the country from communist takeover.

Thus, the defining characteristic of the Junta was its staunch anti-Communism. They used the term anarcho-communist and Alexandros Panagoulis was considered to be one of their most dangerous enemies.

The fall

 The tradition of student protest was always strong in Greece, even before the dictatorship.

Papadopoulos tried hard to suppress and discredit the student movement during his tenure, but the liberalisation process he undertook allowed the students to organise more freely and this gave the opportunity to the students at the Athens Polytechnic to organise a demonstration that grew increasingly larger and more effective.

The political momentum was on the side of the students. Sensing this Papadopoulos’ junta panicked and reacted violently.

On 17 November 1973 Papadopoulos sent the army to suppress the student strike and sit-in of the “Free Besieged”, as the students called themselves, at the National Technical University of Athens which had commenced on November 14. Shortly after 03:00 am a AMX 30 tank crashed through the rail gate of the Athens Polytechnic with subsequent loss of life.

Nel Lazio una famiglia su cinque non paga il canone Rai. A livello provinciale è Rieti la maglia nera ( 27,1 % ), seguita a distanza da Latina ( 22,6 % ),
Frosinone ( 21,9 % ), Viterbo ( 21 & ) e Roma ( 20,8 % ).
Risultati che tutto sommato possono soddisfare i dirigenti D Viale Mazzini, dato che la regione si piazza al dodicesimo posto, ben lontana da realtà come la Campania e la Sicilia, dove l’evasione è doppia e supera il 40 %. Senza contare valori come quelli delle provincie D Napoli e Catania, olte il 50 %.
Questi i dati aggiornati al 31 Dicembre 2007 forniti dalla tv pubblica.
La legge che istituisce il canone Rai appartiene alla preistoria delle comunicazioni: fu emanata dal Governo Mussolini nel 1938 quando il televisore era stato da oco inventato, anche se in Italia si sarebbe diffuso a livello D massa solo begli anni ‘50.
La norma stabilisce il pagamento per chiunque abbia apparecchi “atti o adattabili” a ricevere radiotrasmissioni. Chi ha quindi una televisione e guarda solo programmi non RAI, deve comunque mettere mano al portafogli.

Fonte: Articolo a cura D Andrea Marini e Serena Riselli tratto dal free press “24″ del 1 Ottobre 2008.

Tempo fa si discusse sulla modifica delle legge in questione per aggiungere anche i personal computer alla lista degli “apparecchi” da tassare, per la ricezione D segnali tv, in quanto, appunto, i pc sono abilitati anche a questo uso. Si sa, basta avere una connessione internet per poter vedere ( gratis, il più delle volte ) partite D calcio, serie tv e film in streaming sui canali web in chiaro. Nella speranza che questo non avvenga mai ( visto che già siamo “obbligati” all’acquisto della piattaforma digitale terrestre, anticipata addirittura alla fine del 2008, in Italia )
Vi saluto.

Ciaoo, Steven.

Again, the Kenyan press disappoints. Hysterics, as usual, are their Achilles heel. This I write with an eye on yesterday’s (December 3^rd) editorial on the Kenya Communications Bill 2007 in the Daily Nation. The article is meant to generate sympathy for the country’s media establishment because of their impending muzzling by said bill. However, it comes out a complete mess. A section about how The Nation’s reading of the new bill is “quite telling” crashes into another about the “very oppressive and scary clauses” developed by the bill’s authors. Still, it is some mutterings about new restrictions on cross-media ownership and Government provisions to seize media equipment during emergencies that just turns the entire argument tiresome.

First of all, let no one say that I’m speaking blindly in favour of this proposed law. I am a firm believer in the independence of the press and in free expression for all; there isn’t any room for the growth of a strong democracy otherwise. I do believe, though, that the press has an obligation to report on the pressing issues of the day in a clear, objective and accessible manner. Such exposition in turn enables the consuming public to gain a good understanding of its world, to hold its elected leaders to task, and to participate in shaping the country’s policy agenda.

Whenever the debate on whether the government is working to stifle the press is raised, inevitable clamouring from within the media about the legislature’s foul play follows. Sure, I agree that we are led by self-serving members of parliament who are only too keen to pull a fast one on the populace whenever we look away even for the briefest moment. But I would venture to say that our news comes from self-serving editorial boards which are interested solely in securing their freedom to keep broadcasting, whether their product is relevant to the consumer or not (it isn’t). I believe that our press has become just as bad as our political establishment: old, disconnected from reality, and concerned only with political expediency.

The Nation says that the Kenya Communications Bill 2007 leaves a lot to be desired. I say the Kenyan press leaves a lot to be desired. Is it too much to ask our newspaper editors for clear, bullet-proof analysis of bills pertaining to communications and press freedom, and while we’re on the matter, of anything that is printed in their pages? Can editors keep speculation and wild gesticulation about imagined terrors that live only in their heads out of their newsrooms, leaving only the distilled, cold, hard fact that we so badly need? Call me a difficult person, but I hate to think I’m throwing away 35 bob daily on a so-called serious newspaper.
