I can't stop

OK, I admit, I am more than obsessed with the new HBO series: John from Cincinatti. I am actually learning new skills (I think). It is starting to crop up in my everyday converstations with everyone I interact with. For instance, I mentioned this to my husband, who is starting a new business, as a case for conversational marketing, based on what HBO has done with blogs, videos, web sites, etc., many for marketing purposes but also, many from fans that love the show.

I also mentioned it to my pilates trainer, who is also expanding her business. This is what you must do should you want to explode your business!

I have started to read more, and I am still having difficulty sifting through the vast amount of information (1's and 0's - thank you, John).

But. man! is this full of dialogue that every red-blooded male will surely repeat!!! (Ladies, they love to memorize lines from movies, dontcha know! Don't they all know the lines from Caddyshack? "But I got that going for me . . . which is niceshshshsh !(sp)"

OK, something I picked up from the Episode Guide: Shaunie comments, "The pigs got Grandma." Now, don't you want to watch that with your kin?

I'm coming clean

I'm addicted . . . to John from Cincinnati . . . I watch it repeatedly. I love all the characters. The little surfer dude reminds me of Cameron. I totally identify with the porn star mom. (kidding!!! puhleeze!!!) But who knew that HBO would create every possible media marketing channel known to man? One thing I keep getting, loud and clear, is that when you get older, you don't keep up. I'm trying! I'm trying!!! I commit myself to trying to remain technically astute. ahem. Here are just a few of the blogs, you tubes, fake web sites, etc. that they have created to inspire interest in their new series. (I'm good but if you kill off Shaunie, I'm done. I can take anything on the sopranos but I couldn't take that.)

John from Cincinatti HBO Official web site: Cast and Crew (trivia: Dr. Michael Smith looks exactly like my sister's ex-husband Peter Barnes. Freaky!!!!!)

Here is the fake Yost Clan Web site that the character Dwayne hosts - even better, he stopped posting last September = it must be real!!!:

Please also enjoy the Opening Credits (Johnny Appleseed song). I have been begging for Steve to record this so that I can share with my non HBO friends. If he is uber-hubbie, I'm sure he will!! I'm sure you will enjoy "Crap Machines," "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph" (thanks Bill Jacks i.e. Ed O'Neill from "Married with Children" ), and many more.

Also, "Stinkweed", the (I think- but what do I know, I am a stayathome mom) fictional website-
