What people really want
Posted on 15. May, 2012 by Jonathan Cherry.
Men and woman are simple creatures. Give them ice cream, pizza and cars and all is well in the world.
Social media monitoring company NetBase put 365 days worth of its own data about online conversations up against a recent Harris poll that asked, “What is the one thing you want right now?”
The results show that people are generally emotional sharers when it comes to social media, but they are much more logical when asked a direct question. For instance, 80% of the “I want _____” updates were about food, whereas 50% of the survey responses were related to personal finance (money, financial security, a new car). via
The conclusions are fairly pointless however. All it really indicates is that when you ask loads of people what they want – you realise that everyone is just a 6 year-old trapped in the body of a grown up.
Time Magazine: Shock and awe over latest Time Magazine cover
Posted on 11. May, 2012 by Jonathan Cherry.
First Barack Obama came out in support of gay marriage and now Time magazine has a graphic image of a woman breastfeeding her child on its cover. More here.
What the hell is going on? With all of this – we just might not notice that Jamie Dimon and his JP Morgan buddies have just been bust for doing very bad things with other people’s money…again.
Of course nothing will happen to Mr Dimon and the world will carry on trying to earn an honest living in spite of the massive corporate theft on Wall Street, while the masses squabble over crumbs. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Ft Francois van Coke die nuwe een is a bietjie rof, maar as jy van Parow afkom nie. Gooi hom hard.
Maybe this is why that dude in Kwazulu Natal confused him with a ”satan slang”. Kiff.
What really motivates people?

Interestingly, it’s apparently not money. If you manage creative, clever people – it’s well worth watching this presentation.

Wonder what the Texans are going to think of motor racing that involves a couple of right hand turns?
F1 heading to Texas – the world really is coming to an end.
In today’s ‘videos that go viral’ lesson…

It takes a while for this dude to get cracking, but what he eventually produces as far as movement goes is unbelievable.
The world’s best advertising case study video
Posted on 21. Sep, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
Ad people have a disturbing affection for case study videos. They make advertising seemingly…relevant. Even if only just more than 5000 people ever even bothered to see the thing online and the campaign still won an award for being effectively ‘viral’ – it doesn’t matter. It’s cool m’kay!
Clients love that shit – so shut up! Pink Ponies would have won a frikken Grand Prix had it been entered into an awards show.
The future is: Play more, work less
Posted on 12. Sep, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
Some very clever people have worked out that work [and our relentless pursuit of money] is the cause of our collective lives being ruined by recession and global warming and that we should all just chill and play around a bit more.
In fact we’ve got it all wrong – we should be working for 25 days a year and should holiday for the rest, the exact opposite of how things are now.
We believe that business should be aiming to realise a fair profit, rather than an excessive profit, which is exactly the idea behind the Plentitude Economy.
Problem is – who would pay for the gas-guzzling 4×4 that you sit in traffic in everyday then?
