“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

OK, so I admit to loving Facebook. However, I question reconnecting with some of the people from my home town (Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey) including the guy who was just arrested for exposing himself in our hometown playground. Anyway you slice it, I do not need to read about Facebook every five minutes since it has gone public and the cover story on every media outlet on Earth. OK, Mark Zuckereberg made 19 BILLION dollars. Great. What charities does he support? OK, he lost 2 BILLION dollars a day later. Great. What charities does he support? I am very happy… Read More »

The film, The Social Network has forced Mark Zuckerberg to come out of the shadows, rather, his computer screen. Since then, it seems that Facebook, which I used to like, has evolved quickly into a mass marketing machine. I am accosted with invitations to utter nonsense making my email inbox seem like a spam free zone, which it is not. Gone are the good old days when long-lost eighth grade classmates would stalk me now that that they see I am no longer a fatso however they are. We see Mark Zuckerberg everywhere: Dinners, power meetings with President Obama or… Read More »

What started out as a great way to connect college students has turned into a key marketing strategy for many industries…most notably…fashion. When you think that a bunch of beer keggers were the original sought out members of this non-elite community, one can’t fathom how that changed to the point where now, so many fashion designers are retooling their public relations efforts to reach their audience through such a down-market channel. Most of the people trolling Facebook would otherwise be shunned. You too can be a member of the Chanel or the Oscar de la Renta fan club. The thing… Read More »

JOIN THE NEW FACEBOOK PAGE TO HAVE BETTY WHITE HOST THE EMMY AWARDS ON AUGUST 29 AND THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND. http://bit.ly/deTowG The numbers are in from Saturday Night Live hosted by Betty White. Apparently, they had the best ratings in over a year and a half. That should be proof enough for the Emmy Awards to consider having Betty White co-host the August 29 telecast alongside Jimmy Fallon, who I am sure is a lovely guy, but will he be a ratings winner? The Betty White Saturday Night Live was by far the best show in centuries.… Read More »

The Story of the Week in Women’s Wear Daily is about the beauty brand MARK selling their wares via Facebook. Do you really want to add another layer to your already meaningless visit to Facebook? Precious time that does not include reconnecting with your 8th grade friends…those who have gained all sorts of weight and are stuck in Podunk, reaching out to you for those last vestiges of a life? I didn’t think so. Look, I could be proven totally wrong here, but I am not convinced that Facebook is the place to shop. Not for me anyway. Facebook is… Read More »

Donald Trump* won’t discuss his failures like Trump University. What lying sack of shit would engage in an ongoing scam they’re embroiled in? I found a long, lost draft of one of my old Op-Ed pieces dated August 2013 about @realDonald Trump.  The content is so relevant to what is currently going on with his lame, reality show version of a political campaign that I wanted to share it with you as my first Op-Ed piece of 2016. FOUND DRAFT: ORANGE IS TRYING TO BE THE NEW BLACK- 8/24/13 – Midnight Rather than be frustrated by the fact that since my bicycle accident that’s put me out of commission, Kim… Read More »
