stoosh Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've watched your show for a few seasons. This year, it's like watching one long Becks commercal with some tech floating in amoung the suds. I mean talk about being 'owned'. I think a good policy to implement is: if you have to sellout, do it as little as possible, and subject your fan-base to as little as possible.

wetelectric Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I don't think they've 'sold out' dude. They just need to be open with what is an ad and what isn't. From what i've seen, they generally are. Although, I haven't had a chance to watch the latest eps yet. ps. Becks = cat urine. They lose many man points drinking that stuff.

You must not have watched the first season because they drank beer then also...but now as a bonus a company is paying them to drink beer....Win Win situation lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lestock Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 We've concluded our becks sponsorship, and are now back to drinking our everyday beer. Sorry if you felt that it was forced, we just really like beer! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'd like to go on record, Becks Dark is not that bad. Still not my everyday beer though...see the drinking thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoosh Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Sorry, Yesterday was just a really bad day - really, really bad day and I was pissed at the whole world. This show is great for so many reasons, and I guess I just want it to remain so - forever. Again, sorry 'bout that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydT0ne Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 No problems dude,...it's perfectly natural for a noob to create a thread that flames our favourite tech iptv show. Think nothing of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moja Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Sponsors are a good thing. Kudos to Becks for supporting Hak5 & Revision3. FWIW: As former brewer, Becks (or any beer) can spoil due to the green bottles not being able to block the UV from your local beer store's lighting. Buy it still in the box whenever possible. And if you really want to see what your beer tastes like, don't put it on ice, and pour it into a glass! Of course, none of this matters if you are drinking budmilloors.

That's some good advice right there. I wonder if the same goes for clear bottles like those found in Land Shark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Deats Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Woah, a thread against beer, that's just wrong :P Beer has been a rather big part of the show in the past too, who remembers the first or second season where buffer overflow attacks were explained using beer? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corstar Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hey, what with the lack of becks in 409? I don't think it's bad that you do product placement. You guys put a lot of time and effort into the show, and it's appreciated. It shouldnl't have to come out of your own pockets. Anyway, I love becks and tiger and bintang. BTW, Shannon is SuperHot...;) and Darren would be if he shaved his goatee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoosh Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 It's good to see freedom of speech is alive an well in the Internet. I still can't believe that any critique against TV-like commercialism (not beer) THROUGHOUT the WHOLE show is censored by just referring to it as a flame. If some Brit wants to think about my 'e' penis, it's his right, as it's my right to wonder about the integrity of my planet. So, as Christopher Hitchens (the only rational Brit) would say "take a number, stand in line, and kiss my ass" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
