POPSJewish Columnist: "Yes, We Control Hollywood"
Of course only a Jewish columnist could write this without being called anti-semitic. He is eager to set the record straight, and the article illustrates how PC fear has power to distort the truth of what people (feel permitted to) believe or say. He continues: The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews . The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish. As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. ... So I've taken it upon myself to re-convince America that Jews run Hollywood by launching a public relations campaign, because that's what we do best. I'm weighing several slogans, ..."Hollywood: More Jewish than ever!" So it's okay now, you can say it, and its true.

POPSDisney.com to become MySpace for Kids Definitely long overdue, though they really are hitting the market knowing what works and what doesn't and should be able to execute successfully. The product placement that will underwrite the site is the bit that scares me (and I don't have kids yet, though I do worry about my nieces). Kids are interacting with brands at such a young age these days, I just hope it doesn't turn them all into shopaholics.
