Melton Barker and the Kidnappers Foil 7:59 PM
Melton Barker and the Kidnappers Foil: From the late 1930s into the early 1970s, Dallas native, Melton Barker and his company, Melton Barker Juvenile Productions, traveled all over the country – from Texas and New Mexico to North Carolina and Indiana – filming local children acting, singing, and dancing in two-reel films that Barker titled The Kidnappers Foil.

‘The Kidnappers Foil,’ a Local-Talent National Treasure - NYTimes.com: Call it vanity, or proxy ambition, or love: Parents have always itched to see their kids’ real or imagined talents showcased. “I would argue things like ‘American Idol’ evoke this: ‘Hey, do you want to be on the silver screen? Hey, do you want to be a star?’ ” Ms. Frick said. “Barker was more direct in basically saying, ‘You guys are never going to make it, so you might as well be in my film.’ ”
It's like The Music Man with movies.

Accidental Shifts in Meaning 4:00 PM
Accidental Shifts in Meaning: In a Looney Tunes cartoon featuring Bugs’s fumbling nemesis Elmer Fudd as a hunter on the rabbit’s trail, the carrot-chomping coney sardonically refers to Fudd as a nimrod — insulting him by derisively comparing him to a biblical personage renowned for his hunting skills. Apparently, later generations of Looney Tunes fans who hadn’t kept up with their Scripture picked up on Bugs’s attitude without understanding the ironic allusion, and the word acquired a new meaning, while its original sense faded into the background.

the death of the demographic 8:31 PM
YouTube Stars Fight Back - - News - Los Angeles - LA Weekly:
Today Machinima describes its content as being about not just video games but anything that appeals to men ages 13 to 34. CEO Allen DeBevoise calls them the "lost boys": males of a certain age largely unreached by advertising. They don't watch traditional TV; they don't read magazines. They just play video games.
