Economy Continues to Roller Coaster, Star Trek Engagements, Kanye West Jay-Z New Album The Throne Released: What your business can learn from amusement parks, star trek & hip hop

Posted by Salem Global on Aug 16, 2011

So it was actually my nephew who clued me in to realize that Kanye West and Jay-Z had a new album out. And then I started hearing some tracks on the radio. Well if each of them sell millions of records and cds on their own, does that mean that two heads are better than one? And the answer is absolutely! So if Kanye and Jay-Z are getting together, so should you. Think about it. Your website might be powerful and get lots of traffic, but if you have special features and links coming from another huge fantastic website, google is going to recognize that and give you credit.

Besides new music and the economy and the dow and nasdaq going up and down more than the Yo Yo rides I was at when I visited Six Flags Great Adventure a few weeks ago (where some of the rides made me smile from ear to ear and others just made me nauseous), the only other thing I have of entertaining value this week is this clip that is going around about a geek who proposed to his girlfriend at a Star Trek convention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jd1Ih8EUmw&feature=player_embedded. The reason why its funny is because Captain Jean-Luc Picard or Sir Patrick Stewart (also of X-Men and American Dad fame) recreated a scene for them which made their day, week and life! Here is the follow up clip:

Of course the above is reminiscent of Tim Alan’s Galaxy Quest take on the following Saturday night live clip. doesn’t get too much better than these folks:

and the classic SNL skit with William Shatner when he says to the trekkies to “get a life!”

“You. You over there. You look almost 30. Have you ever kissed a girl?”

“It’s time to move out of your parents basements!”

“Oh. Sorry everyone. That was the evil captain kirk from episode 29. The enemy within!”

SalemGlobal Fixes The Economy By Remaking Dirty Dancing. Ex-Gov Hugh Carey Dies: What your business can learn from government mess ups and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Yes ladies and gentlemen. What you heard and just read is true. Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey is being remade. Not by SalemGlobal. That was just a trick to make you look. But the funny thing is that that is my point today… what your business can learn from false advertising. By the way, I say remake movies as often as possible. Every generation. Spiderman. Superman. Batman. Begins. Returns. Ends. Sequels. Hey. I am a capitalist and an entrepreneur. So its all about making money and merchandising. I wish I had a piece of that action. This is sure to make money for all involved. Read more about it here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/jennifer-grey-is-cool-with-dirty-dancing-remake/2011/08/10/gIQAzyga6I_blog.html

Very similar to the latest in awesome videos on YouTube that show cool sports things that are actually real advertisements. Check out Evan Longoria’s crazy bare handed catch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMujgAAyH-I&feature=related It’s actually an ad for Gillette. And then the funnier video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imtJpRoT1uM&feature=related (Oh. And most people have seen the video because they think it’s Eva Longoria (not Evan)

And on a sad note, Ex-Governor Hugh Carey died this week at 92. http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Funeral-Thursday-in-NYC-for-ex-Gov-Carey-1786773.php
