TWITTER LOSING CREDIBILITY - TMI

Clicking away on YouTube, sifting through videos and we find another video about Twitter. BUT this song about Twitter makes you think, is Twitter losing credibility because most people are using it to talk about things no one cares about! Who cares you drank a coffee, who cares you are late for work, who cares you woke up happy today.

Remember TMI: Too Much Information

Twitter is just TMI!!!

5 Steps On How To Become A Great Short-term TV Presenter

So, last week we prepared you for becoming a TV Presenter really fast in a short amount of time. Now we have step 2 of the process:

5 Easy Steps On How To Become An Excellent Short-term TV Presenter


  1. Always live your day as a SALMON! Meaning there is no tomorrow, today is your last chance and in the end of the day you have to deliver some eggs or be serving or be served on a plate. It entirely depends on you. We suggest you also eat loads of salmon because it helps defy the aging process.


  2. Go to Brazil to ALTER YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE! Consider getting porcelain teeth, but if your real problem is hair loss than either spray it on or go for implants. Brazil has the best plastic surgeons and prices for liposuction and silicone implants (FYI men’s breast implants are a must) however, if you made it this far in presenting than you probably don't need to get man boobs.


  3. Always make sure to have MORE FRAME TIME! In other words, make sure your face is in that box, screen, tube, telly more than your fellow presenters and guests. Here's a TIP: Always be the first in for hair and make up, which allows you to then be first on set, catch our drift... Also, make sure you have a chair with wheels, so that you can roll into shot at any point, therefore that secures your face on that screen every minute. During the Break, encourage your fellow host to drinks lots of water and keep refilling their cup this will gain their trust as you are doing such a kind gesture, but this also guarantees that they will be uncomfortable and wanting to pee during the entire taping which then causes them not to present well.


  4. Always BLAME THE A.D! When your fellow presenter seems to be getting more screen time than you, show them who's the boss by nudging them under the table, tickling or pinching them, and steal their lines. Most importantly, make sure to tell them that the AD advised you to do so. Noone really checks with A.D about anything anyway....


  5. Always FLIRT! We mean it, flirt with literally every single person in that studio. Don't be picky, everyone counts, forget your type, taste, or even gender preference, it's ALL or NOTHING. At the end of the day make sure to pass by the director’s office and offer to help them out with anything they need. Be Proactive! (and also always use this word as much as possible)!

Let us remind you, that these are the true experiences of a stupid small town DJ who went on to become a stupid successful international TV senior executive. So these things did really happen, and many presenters do REALLY go by these rules, and go on to be very successful!

Funniest TWITTER ShitMyDadSays

For all you twitter peeps out there, we have to introduce you to the funniest twitter account!

There is a 29yr. old man who lives with his 73yr. old father. His father is constantly commenting on his son's life, or about life in general. The comments his father makes are hilarious and better than any Hollywood writer can come up with.

Who needs Seinfeld when we have this....

Here are a just a few of the sh*t his dad says:

"Son, no one gives a shit about all the things your cell phone does. You didn't invent it, you just bought it. Anybody can do that."



"Oh please, you practically invented lazy. People should have to call you and ask for the rights to lazy before they use it."


"Nobody is that important. They eat, shit, and screw, just like you. Maybe not shit like you, you got those stomach problems."



"The baby will talk when he talks, relax. It ain't like he knows the cure for cancer and he just ain't spitting it out."


"Does anyone your age know how to comb their fucking hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their head and started fucking."




We would love to buy a t-shirt with these sayings!!

5 Easy Steps On How To Become A Presenter Fast

Is TV Presenting your dream, but you don't have the patience to wait for your break?

Well here are 5 Super Easy Steps on how to become a TV presenter fast!

  1. Always wake up with MAKE UP! (men included). You never know when you are going to be posted on the web after a beautiful night of networking. Do it Venezuelan style "Always be prepared to be on a soup opera."

  1. Get on a REALITY SHOW! Make sure to get the press's attention by declaring that you are on the show for the sake of your parents. OR that you suffer from agoraphobia, both reasons are juicy bait for the press. Always somehow get your parents on the reality show. Most importantly, ALWAYS SMILE and FLIRT with the producer. They will then be kind enough to advise you on which camera angle is best for you.

  1. Get FRIENDS! Become friends with everyone and we literally mean every single person you meet. Believe in the LA talk!

  1. Go to every CASTING you can until 2am. This is for those of you who go to casting and are the last call...don't fret because that's the best call time! From 2am onwards its time to start networking! When casting directors are wrapping up the casting, they always go for dinner, drinks or join in on group events and you want to make sure to be in on that!

  1. Participate in the COUCH TEST! If any producer, director or media professional mentions the couch test do be aware it’s not a trip to IKEA trip or a suggestion for a siesta. Just do your best and ignore the noises! If it worked for Robert
    Pattinson, it should work for you...

This is based on the true experiences of a radio DJ from a small-town that became a stupidly successful worldwide senior TV executive in only 2 years!

SPICE GIRLS TO LAUNCH TV TALENT SHOW

Another reality is in the talks of being created, so that's not new news is it...but when the spice girls are involved than that becomes pretty bizarre news!

The Spice Girls are reportedly in talks to star in a new reality show, which will be about the Girls going on a search to find 5 girls to play them in a Spice musical. This idea was brought about because the spicy ladies were reluctant to go on another tiresome tour, yet they still want to work and squeeze whatever is left from the Spice Girls brand.

One insider says "It's a fantastic new way to broaden out the Spice franchise, and it appeals to all the band members."

Do you guys thin its a good idea??
