News Story Formula

Here's a clever and amusing recipe for making a TV news story.  As a former network news producer I can assure you that this characterization is not far from the truth.  Warning, some objectionable language, but despite the language I think you'll enjoy it.

Good Sound Can Make B+ Work Great

This review of the most expensive car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron, is impressive, but what makes it even better still is the great sound of the car.  It wouldn't be as distinctive a piece without it.

Time's Top 10 Viral Videos of 2009: Do you Agree?

This hit list of Time's fave viral videos ranges from a groggy six year old's trip to the dentist to a man walking, to the tale of a guitar trashed by United Airlines, to a wedding party dancing, to a baby dancing to Beyonce, to the top watched video last year - Scotland's Susan Boyle's singing 'I dreamed a Dream' performance. 

Here's a comprehensive list of all of Time's Top 10 lists for 2009.

Here it Goes Again is the runner up of my favorites with almost 50 million YouTube views, but the record companies refuse to let you embed it so you'll have to click on this link to see it. How many takes do you think it took them to get this one cut wonder right?  Here it Goes Again.

And my favorite.... is a viral video that's not even on this list.... it's the ripoff of the wedding dance done by the office at Jim and Pam's wedding.  The timing could not have been more perfect for this silly little viral video to get copied by one of America's top TV shows.  It's sweet and fun, and it all seems so right.
