BBMB in the NY Times

[minton]

Not sure if this has been posted before, if it has...fuck it.

You guys got a mention in the New York Times right here (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/18/business/media/18adco.html?_r=1&ref=business&oref=slogin):

In another discussion last week on the site of the band the Beastie Boys, fans of the group pondered the prevalence of the ads and in particular the woman on the rooftop, who appears to have cornrows in her hair and an unusual body shape for a model.

[JobDDT]

Thats pretty tight, but when did the NYT start citing forums as a source? :confused:

[ggirlballa]

that is dope(y)

[Loppfessor]

That's pretty cool...who the crap started that "I hate these ads" thread again?

[Otis Driftwood]

here (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/18/business/media/18adco.html?_r=1&ref=business&oref=slogin):
Where can I see this "unusual" model?

[na§tee]

holy shit, nLOL (and skinnybutphat) are famous! (y)

[kleptomaniac]

whoa.. that's like really creepy and awesome at the same time (y)

[Junker]

It seems some people at the NYT really visit the BBMB.

[The Notorious LOL]

it would have been a lot better if they quoted me word for word

[Junker]

it would have been a lot better if they quoted me word for word

And you would have been paid for it.

[JobDDT]

And you would have been paid for it.

Its journalistically unethical to pay someone for a quote or an interview. Remember the Private Lynch scandle?

Just a heads up from a J major. (y)

How do you proceed then? Ask for a permission and thats it? For free?? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Yep. You ask for permission and if you get shot down, then you get the old "was reached for comment" line. But since this is a public forum, they don't have to get an agreement from us.

[Genocide Tulips]

this actually scares me...

Fuck! Then they can steal our wise words.

[Bob]

i wouldn't have minded seeing "the notorious LOL" printed in the NY Times

[ms.peachy]

It would have been way cooler if the NYT article had been titled "Do these ads make you want to stab someone in the eye?"

[Knuckles]

They (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showpost.php?p=1396175&postcount=21296) have so much in common!

[Pres Zount]

haha^



Re article; I feel proud for some reason.

[Bob]

makes me wish i'd posted in that thread

[Pres Zount]

I could have said that, and I could have been in the NY times!

[The Notorious LOL]

I still maintain that they should have used what I said word for word.

[HEIRESS]

ack! scary!

[kll]

It's not scary, they just google searched and found this site.

I think it's cool that with all of the shit that BF gets for talking about nothing, we get the mention when it comes to a random topic non-related to the Beastie Boys.

[beastiegirrl101]

I'm waiting for the rush of noobs to join.

[avignon]

I just can't imagine how this is news though. Was it just a slow day in the world or what? When is sweeps anyway?

[Genocide Tulips]

She probably paid the paper to run an article to further promote her business.

[abcdefz]

I hope somebody decent scoops up the film rights.

[avignon]

LOL at a reporter who gets stuck with that scoop.

[paul jones]

what am i looking for? all i see is some woman stroking her pussy

[paul jones]

ah I saw it now.I realised I had to read it

What next......BBMB Boobs in Playboy?

[Yeti]

No wonder they charge 5 bucks for the NY Times Sunday paper. Journalism at its best. I hear they are quoting bloggers on the Simpson's webpage in response to Bush's escalation of troupes.........

Amid dropping public approval for the Iraq war, President Bush said Thursday the fight against terrorism must continue there because it is the center of a terrorist movement to "intimidate the whole world." One Simpson fan responded by saying, "DOH!, Hey, Moe, gimme another Duff.

[QueenAdrock]

Hahahahaha Oh, NY Times.

That's cool yet kinda lame all at once. :cool:

[avignon]

It raises the BBMB's status and simultaneously lowers the NY Times. I just wish that they would've written it in text speak.

[Echewta]

There is a lot of stuff that the NYT could use here. A daily page about Dorothys adventures.

[Yeti]

or Echewta's chocolate recipes in the Lifestyle section.

[Yeti]

Turd's commentary would make George Will look like a liberal commie.

[avignon]

I personally would rather buy a copy of Knuckles' newspaper than the Times.

[Genocide Tulips]

I'm waiting for O'Reilly to tackle this and one of us going on there and just fuck around on his show. Wishful thinking.

[mikizee]

where the hell is enree anyway

[Yeti]

enree is out to attend Art Buchwald's funeral.

[kll]

Or Enree's Advice column.

Cookiepuss's gossip page.

Mickill on Music.

kll on housing market.

Skinnybutphat and Q on sports.


Who is Q?

[Yeti]

Turd would only cover the NBA. He hates everything else.

[avignon]

Who's going to do the "sex on the board" column?

[kll]

You just turned this into a popularity thread. Anyone not mentioned is going to cry.

[avignon]

Dorothy.
I mean relationship advice.

[Genocide Tulips]

I could help Pauli on the night life section. As well as some section with alcohol.

[The Notorious LOL]

okay this thread sucks now.

[ET]

Matt R. Coffin... that name is kind of badass.

Also, "fans" of the group. LOL!

[Echewta]

hahaha, fans.

[DipDipDive]

LOL's got da innanet goin nutz.

[Junker]

What I was about to say.

[skinnybutphat]

All the good journalists know the BBMB is the best resource for stories that shape our world.

[Echewta]

BBMB, you give us 30 clicks, we'll give you the world.

[monkey]

Pauli on the NY party scene.

Where is she?

i was partying dude! hahahaha. i just came home for the first time in 3 days to find out the bbmb is getting props for talking about everything. now im scared that somebody's watching me....

[jennyb]

I can't believe no one has linked the thread (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=75657)being discussed. I'm all tired and a tad hungover, it hurt me to get out and go find it. :(

That's kind of cool though. Weird, yet cool. Good that LOL got an ego boost. I worry about his lack of self confidence sometimes. :rolleyes:

[ggirlballa]

theres an undercover reporter among us....

[marsdaddy]

Also, "fans" of the group. LOL!Myth would be offended.

In 2007, I can't believe you guys got worked up over banner ads. Google will own the world, soon!

[skra75]

That's pretty cool...who the crap started that "I hate these ads" thread again?


HOLY SHIT IT WAS ME!
Oh Wait...I did the myspace girls one.

:(
