Unfortunately, the global warming swindle movie itself has not been excused from the global warming scandal it wanted to “expose”. Articles from the wikipedia and The Independent report that the video documentary was based on the great global warming swindle graphs that were distorted and mislabeled. In fact, two contributors of the film were among those who criticized the film for its misleading arguments.

Videos on the great global warming swindle debate is available in youtube but should you like to watch the full video, you might want to buy a global warming swindle dvd.

“Taxes should come from alcohol and tobacco, and not from books.”

“We must come together, work together and walk together toward the future”

“To those who want to be President, this advice: If you really want something done, just do it. Do it hard, do it well. Don’t pussyfoot. Don’t pander. And don’t say bad words in public.”

“I have never expressed the desire to extend myself beyond my term”

“the economy is more fair to the poor than ever before”

“In private high schools, we finance half of the students”

Listening to the SONA is just like listening to a salesman presenting insurance quotes but Filipinos should at least listen to it. Believing or not about what have been said, however, is another thing.

What is safer than havaianas kids?

This is bad. How can I be sure other children’s flip flops in the Philippine market have less lead in paint? Is spartan safer than Havaianas? I can’t afford crocs for my son but crocs too have its own safety issues especially among kids….

I first learned about  Awesome Philippines through a blog post by Tech Pinas. Tech Pinas described Awesome Philippines as the new promo website of the Department of Tourism but after checking out the images in the google ads and the Awesome Philippines banner, I have come to conclude that Awesome Philippines is Ace Durano’s website.

Check these out:

Google ad promoting Awesome Philippines

When somebody is making extra effort to get noticed particularly in a time near the elections, I can’t help but think that person is planning to run for a major political position.

So, am I right in saying that the website is promoting Ace Durano and not really the Philippines?

I just wonder though why the footer of the Awesome Philippines site has this: “Copyright 2009 by Philippine Department of Tourism. All rights reserved.” Did the DOT pay for this site? Why make another website when we already have the tourism.gov.ph WOW Philippines site?

Sometimes, Blogsvertise would be rejecting posts, advise you to to rewrite the entry and after several tries and rejections, you would end up being advised to remove the post because your blog does not comply to the advertiser’s requirements .This happened to me in March 2008. Blogsvertise made this assignment available in my grab task and rejected it later because my site was PR 3 (and they made the assignment available for my PR 3 site and did not even gave specific requirement that the assignment is for PR 4 and higher sites only).

The worse thing is that, sometimes, Blogvertise will be rejecting the task (that you can’t resubmit) only after the post (and the paid links) are already in your site for several days. Just today, I got a rejection email for a post I submitted last February 9. I was told to remove the post today February 13 because the advertiser cancelled the campaign. Can’t blogsvertise do something to protect their bloggers from advertisers who commission posts and then back out after the article is already made?

Anyone having trouble with blogsvertise too?

I am no commercial composer or a big time artist but as a blogger, I do understand the sentiments of Mr. Gary Granada against the GMA kapuso foundation. According to Mr. Granada, GMA kapuso used his work without permission and without pay.

Learn more about the issue by listening to Gary Granada’s recording:

I have not heard nor read about GMA’s side on the issue yet but I can’t think of a reason why a lone musician will go against a giant TV network except to seek for publicity. To seek for publicity, however, does not seem to be the reason in the case of Mr. Granada. It seems that his right as a musician has really been violated and he only seeks reprieve for this injustice.

Did GMA intentionally use Mr. Granada’s work or is this a case of copyright ignorance? Either which, this is a shame to GMA. The network reportedly helps in fighting piracy and it has failed in upholding the most major of all reasons why video and audio piracy is illegalized: to protect the rights of artists and musicians.

I hope I only missed some instructions. I hope PPP advertisers do not make the recession an excuse to pay less.

Updated January 19:

It turns out payperpost will be doing this for the month of January only (hopefully). Read between the words in the payperpost blog and you will realize this (low paying ads) feature is experimental. My take? If bloggers keep taking the low paying opps, then payperpost may continue or make this .50 or so per post offer permanent in the future. Why pay more when bloggers are willing to work for less?
