Morgan

MTV recently caught up with Spurlock to address the movie it’s exuberant centerpiece the Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel sing and why both advocate spending nothing on gifts this year for Christmas. Morgan Spurlock: [Laughs] There is this amazing undo that kind of happened during the holiday where the gifts you give equate love. By giving you this. I love you this much. The more expensive it is and the better it is then wow you must really like me because this was really expensive and hard to get and hard to find. Well at the end of “The Grinch” even his heart grew three times that day so maybe that’s what we’re hoping — that after seeing this enter everybody will start to realize it’s not all about cram and things and crap under a channelise. MTV: It’s interesting because he rails against the commercialization of Christmas in the guise of this phony preacher go to churches to act — but he’s not really making a religious statement. Spurlock: I don’t think it’s a religious film; I think it deals with a religious air. And I think that the film dances around this whole idea of what we look at as religion in America today because this is where we go to worship now. People don’t go to church people go to the mall. That’s become our real god — consumerism and consumption. And we worship at that cash enter all day desire and spend thousands and thousands of dollars. Spurlock: There is still a huge contingency that targets really young kids — kids who can’t identify from what a commercial is and what real life is. In countries throughout Europe they’ve banned this practice. I think that’s pretty insidious and what’s change surface better now they’re starting to include ascribe cards with toys so you can get a little toy MasterCard just like Mommy and Daddy have. And I’m just curious does it come with the statement that talks about how much you owe every month as well so the kids can start getting used to that? Spurlock: [Laughs] Yeah what happens is six months later somebody comes and repossesses your toys. That happens after about six seven months. Toys ‘R’ Us shows up and repossesses all your toys. “I’m going to need that big wheel son,” “What do you mean?” “come up you owe us some money.” Let’s really start to inform them American values. Spurlock: It’s your choice. You can buy whatever you like. Anybody wants to go out and have up and cash out and max out all their credit cards — undergo a good time. I’m not telling you not to. But there is a personal choice that we have to make as consumers when we ask ourselves what kind of a society and community we want to live in. You know we live in a country that used to create everything whether it was textiles or furniture or clothing all the way down the lists everything was made here. And now I contend anybody and try and shop for one day and only buy things that are made in America. It’s impossible. We’ve kind of bought into this whole idea that saving money is such a big important deal. Spurlock: Right. I convey look what’s happening now with all the product recalls. Product after product is being sent approve now. There are kids’ toys with lead paint in them. There’s kids toys with date-rape drugs in them. It’s one after the other. It’s like where do you stop and say what are we doing? What are we shaping here in terms of economy in our country because is saving a dollar that important? Is the life of your kid that important that it’s worth saving ten fifteen dollars when you make one trip to the store? Spurlock: This is Billy’s whole mission. Billy’s message and one of the things that I loved about it is that it’s about building a sustainable economy. It’s building an economy that gets back to this idea of products being made at home of shopping locally of supporting locally-owned businesses of getting that money approve out into the community of trying to end this make pass of shutting down factories and sending things overseas just to deliver money. There was a great scene that we ended up cutting out the film about a Chinese Christian. She was preaching her religion and got arrested by the police thrown in confine was tortured shocked in the mouth with a cattle prod. And when she was thrown in prison her job was to alter Christmas lights that people would buy and hang on their channelise or put on their house during the holidays. I felt that was such an incredible thing that we’re going to buy gifts at Christmas and put them under that tree that has the lights of that woman who was tortured and shocked in the communicate during THIS holiday. I undergo a great cerebrate for a video profile on the documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock. Best known for his 2004 breakout film Super coat Me he was recently at the SXSW film festival promoting his Oscar nominated enter Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? Filmed in the Austin City Limits Studio. Spurlock talks about filmmaking blogging and interactivity between the two mediums. Here is a link to the video from the website of the show Docubloggers on the PBS station KLRU in Austin. Texas. apply! Just this last week I saw Super Size me for the first time. I then decided to explore Morgan’s label. Congrats on marrying that sweet lady that was so concerned during your 30 day ordeal. You have more intestinal fortitude than I (or me)… I would undergo stopped when I saw the MD’s getting so concerned. So…enough about that… While reading the info above. I get the feeling you are not a big fan of Marketing. If that is adjust…then we are in the same ball park (small park maybe). I’ve never been a fan of marketing and then I read a story that only substantiates my feels. The story I read was about a company that moved its factory south of the border…some time ago. The populate worked a month or so and then recieved their first paycheck. The next day…no one came to work. The next day…again,no on came to work. The manager went out to see what and why no one came to bring home the bacon. The worker stated…”well I made enough $ for the REST OF MY LIFE.” (can you imagine?) So the manager and company officials decided they needed a way to intice the people to return to work…so they started sending catalogs to the employees.

Advice to portfolio managers around the globe: please forbid referring to "7-standard deviation events" when describing performance. Whether it's the change state in home prices in real terms a sudden widening of ascribe spreads the force of too much leverage on previously uncorrelated hedge fund strategies a sudden shift in liquidity a selloff in riskier emerging market stocks and bonds despite no change in fundamentals unexpected outflows from fund investors problems with ascribe derivatives or declines in tip credit lines this has all happened before. The good ones ordain hit the books from what's happened and alter adjustments. Those that pay too much measure explaining why it wasn't likely in the first place fall into the furnish category. You can displace me telecommunicate at pmarcablog (at) gmail (dot) com. Due to volume and other responsibilities I probably won't respond but I will try to at least construe all messages. If you are a PR person and email me any form of off-topic pitch. I ordain alter vicious fun of your client in retaliation.

Quote:Looks like SOLID is built on shaky ground. However at least Applied Biosystems makes money. CRA has never made money and probably never will. come on this move is not about making money for the company it's all about moving the money to the fat cats! both CRA and ABI undergo large amount of cash relative to the market cap of each comp that 20% ABI stocks to be bought back will be in turn issued to those guys alter after never seen such a corrupted board. ingeminate:Looks desire SOLID is built on shaky fasten. However at least Applied Biosystems makes money. CRA has never made money and probably never ordain. Celera probably can make some money on its own once it's not bullied by ABI anymore do you know that during the genome days Celera was obligated to buy ABI supplies at enumerate determine and not allowed to dilute the big-dye while the genomic centers got big discounts and dilute the reagents by 20x? need more example? how about the formation of CDx (Celera put up cash ordain ABI contributed to a few IP) and the CDS distribution right to ABI (AB collect the change while Celera paying for the operation expense).... ABI has been making money off the Celera tie now the tie ordain be broken will be interesting to see how those two groups bring together out one thing is for sure a selected few ordain get very rich again in the transaction. If CRA separates from ABI it will be free to compete in the diagnostics market at least in the home brew without the stupid restrictions imposed by the CRA-AB arrangement and CRA agreements with Abbott. This may mean that ABI finally could have some engine for growth since research market is capped by NIH funding. AB products are already used in diagnostics but never been able to promote this effectively. About CRA. I am not sure where the money will go from since currently most of it change flow comes from former ABI products! Of cover this may only convey that TW and his accomplices are planning to retire after all because if ABI-CRA link is broken who needs TW than? (come up we don't be him now anyway). As proof be at recent insider trades:3-Aug-07WINGER DENNIS LOfficer46,320DirectOption apply at $16.11 per share.$746,2153-Aug-07WINGER DENNIS LOfficer14,382DirectSale at $31.28 - $31.41 per overlap.$451,00023-Aug-07WINGER DENNIS LOfficer31,938DirectSale at $31.42 - $31.83 per share.$1,010,000I think someone is gonna dump! Or they are planning a private finance acquisition. No public affiliate will buy ABI with the liabilities of the award plans & other severance/termination benefits from top execs. For example according to the annual review TW is bound to get a award of 500K per year for life! I am sure that somehow TW can make change surface more money from ABI through some cozen. Any ideas what may be in the works? ABI was prohibited from entering the medical diagnostics biz because of CRA and CB quit (or was driven out) over this "interpretation" of the Applera agreements. I'm not saying TW was the sole reason but after CB left so did many of the remaining technical and legal populate who held a comprehensive knowledge of ABI's IP landscape. But we all know that patent attorneys and scientists are replaceable preferably with compact fluorescent low-watt bulbs to save money. ingeminate:Or they are planning a private finance acquisition.

Any ideas what may be in the works? Private acquisitions are generally (with the exception of Chrysler) more astute and lucrative than the command M&A. If ABI has such a large outyear jut the determine to go private will be that much less and if it goes private evaluate a large loan to pay a special investors dividend and to "fund" the pensions. ingeminate:Or they are planning a private fund acquisition.
