Multiply Bitches to Users About TechCrunch Comments

I just saw this in an email from Multiply:

One particular article, posted on TechCrunch, received a few replies from loyal Multiply users, who were subsequently accused, by a couple misinformed commenters, of being Multiply employees (or “plants”) posting fake comments! (For the record, we would never do that.)

Multiply sent this email to all its users. I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to respect a company that bitches to its users about drama on someone else’s blog comments.

Sesame Street Season 39: Parodies and Cameos

Kids today are more media-savvy than ever. As such, Sesame Street can afford to make more cultural references than ever. That’s why Sesame Street season 39, the first season to be filmed in HD, will feature more parodies and cameos than Cookie Monster can eat.

Call it a reflection of mashup culture going mainstream. Kids see parodies and cameos all the time on YouTube, so they probably expect Sesame Street to deliver both.
