Big news! You're not going to believe this (if you're smart), but Caveat Emptor is switching to a 100% VIDEO FORMAT. Streaming video content, 24 hours of it a day, beaming from this humble blog to your homes and hearts all over the world. The Caveat Emptor Executive Management Steering Strategy Committee Board (affectionately referred to around CE HQ as the CavEmExMaSteeStraComBo) has determined that the time is ripe to sweep the Vid-Blog market and be the new Vid-Dooce.
I have to be honest, I wasn't thrilled with the idea at first. "I'm not good in front of the camera," I told the CavEmExMaSteeStraComBo when they called me in* last week to inform me of the decision.
"Oh, god no!" said the chairman. "We did focus groups and have come to the conclusion that you are not the right person to play the Scott character in the vids."
"Really?" I asked. "You did focus groups already? Wow."
"Well, to be honest, we just voted on it. But it was a unanimous vote."
"Oh, I see," I said.
So, they're holding auditions. I'm hoping they pick the dude who played Gandalf. They're leaning toward either George Clooney or some young dude who played Superman on some TV show. I don't know. I don't know that I can write convincing content for a sexy guy.
"Oh, don't worry," I was reassured. "We've hired some writers from MTV's reality TV division."
"They have writers?" I asked.
"Hey, listen, don't worry your head about it, Scott-man," said Todd, the asshole who runs Caveat Emptor marketing. "We were thinking you'd be perfect for adding color to the comment section. It's really your strength."
So, you know, it sounds pretty good. I'm trying to be excited about it. CE-TV starts soon! See you in the comment section!
Hello, friends. How are you today?
Later. Love. (I wonder if they'll still say that? Hmmm...)
* I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Hey, Scott, isn't this your blog? Shouldn't you be ON the CavEmExMaSteeStraComBo?" Well, I used to be. I actually formed the CavEmExMaSteeStraComBo and was the original chairman. Our first order of business was to vote me off of the CavEmExMaSteeStraComBo. It was a unanimous vote. Even I voted for it. What can I say? They made a good case, and their PowerPoint presentation had actual rock music in it. I was powerless to resist.)
P. S. - Aphter: ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE. SIX will be up after lunch, if all goes according to plan. Thanks for stopping by.
P. P. S. - SIX.
