Yeah, HN, there was a thread about this last year, with much discussion and criticism.
Smatter of fact, there was somewhat of a call-in or write-in campaign by ex-wayfers to that network, and TWIt was pulled as "pick of the week" very quickly, and you can't find it on that network's website any more - but you can find plenty of other past picks of the week.
WELL!! Now dont I feel sheepish.. Gettin all indignant bout something that happened a year ago....um let me back away quietly now....shhhhhhh b..y..e... :D-->
On the other hand its hilarios, because they always taught us that the "media" was devilish. I mean they went so far as to dictate what music, television shows, and books to read. Now they have an infomercial....thats AWESOME! Fun stuff kids!
Heyya hockeynutt, It IS hillarious, if you can find the old thread, you will find that twi spent tens of thousands for that little *info mercial* .
The consequent uproar generated, caused way more information than twi would have liked *revealed* to the network and advertising folks.... ended up being a huge bite in the bu tt....lol
Those details were NOT shared with the TWIts. They are under the impression that it was an award of some kind and that TWI was chosen for their spectacular organization. -->

Shewt, old subjects get resurrected all the time, no worries.
Lotsa new posters here, lotsa people that may never have seen that video, actually, commercial for TWIt.
No reason to feel foolish at all.

Thread about TWI Commercial
I recall lots of people here called or emailed MSNBC and asked them WHAT they were thinking when they aired this spot!

Well.. I guess that makes sense. If no one is willing to give you an award for something, go and buy one.
