There must be a severe lack of talent to do ads anymore

Maybe its because I give attention to media things more than the casual TV viewer or something, but I’m seeing all too many repeat or at least the same people pitching products and services on TV.

Take for instance, CenturyLink, has this one with some guy asks how long it would take to download a movie with a 1gig speed/bandwidth connection. About as fast as he eats a cookie, which is sped up quite a bit, but the same portrayed CenturyLink tech, is the same guy trying to find a good buy on a used car on a CarMax ad. Of course if you look elsewhere you see quite a few unemployed actors doing ads or voiceovers. For instance we have rather still hot looking Jennifer Garner doing ads for a credit card company. Of course there’s the dude overdubbing on the Arby’s ads, saying We have the Meats. Terrible writing for that ad btw. But its Darth Vader himself. Of course there’s the VW car ad, using good ole Waylon’s song as a music bed. First the song and the ad does not connect. Plus I’ll bet you lunch, that VW or its ad agency isn’t paying royalty fees to Shooter or Jessie . But here’s what kicks me in the groin, and see it a lot, how come, all too many hot filly's will show off their legs and other body parts on Facebook and Pinterest, but few will dress in rather conservative threads to photograph with a warbird(military aircraft) or a classy toew truck? As an example, the Knytes through its production subsidiary HazzardAyre Media, pays on average $100.00 per on camera hour. Yet finding suitable or at least uninhibited gals to enhance or visual productions. Or and I think this goes hand in hand, you pitch to a gal in church that she could do such a task at church you get a serious, look of not here, yet at the local stake center a daughter, of one of the most influential LDS families in Evanston can dance and prance in front of the public in a For Broadway play. Really?

Bottom line? Don’t say ya’ll don’t cause I know ya’ll do.

TV is in trouble money wise anyway. Most advertisers have cut way back in how much they spend on TV ads. The show they support must be a grand gig, for them to spend big money. Even this years Super Bowl had some serious lack of production quality.

However, I take my hat off to Google, they are running an ad for one of its advanced apps for smartphones , and its very simple, very clean and gets to the heart of the product without sex, or crap. Of course in the other lane, you have DirecTV running the ads, with the blonde on the horse that talks like Mr. Ed. Guess when consumer advocates cried like Coyotes about Rob Lowe, DirecTV did a change. Yet in either case they miss the boat.

Is there a solution? Yes, and I’ll chat about that in a later entry here to HazzardAyre.

Now closing, and while not on topic there’s much changing in the workings of both the Knytes as well as my own company.

You may have noticed that there is a new title cover page on our blog. That predominately focus’ on my company HazzardAyre Aviation. With some slight resistance the Knytes granted me the ability to use that, to get me back into the air as well as on it. As you know or maybe not, AyreWolf for all intents and purposes, has been sold to my cousin Gordon, out of Alaska. But I’m not allowing the ability to get wind under my wings, either. So with the $7.2, million, paid out every two years at $600K we are recreating my half of the company as HazzardAyre Aviation which will become a major supporter and sponsor of both the Knytes as well as the AyreWolvez. Now as far as Highway Hooker Toewing, while the terms are quite innocent in the usage here. Highway is okay, Hooker isn’t as widely accepted by a rather conservative LDS dominated client base and population. After doing some research and all, the company will go by the handle of SteeleEagle Toewing, west of Burley to the Oregon line. While RodeWolf Toewing will be us east of Burley into Utah as well as here in Evanston.

More L8R this evening.

The light is on, anybody at home?

A Good Morning from high above Evanston in the Wentworth towers, well it’s morning to me. Lots of things came into view this weekend with and concerning the Knytes. First the vote was unanimous in retaining the handle of the club. Knytes-of-Anarchy stays, The Rode Knytes Association will be added as a subsidiary as our towing and disabled vehicle resque half of the club. Guess ya’ll know whose in charge of that huh? Next and I would be derelict in my duties not to report this so I will. The club as far as the radio werx has chosen to award the contract for our telecom CenturyLink, with AllWest being chosen as a back up. So our gal from Lost Wages Nevada best get the paper work to us ASAP. This was on the news this morning so I must tell you that, I think while not saying it outright, other media platforms such as KSL TV and others do read the blog, as well as NBC News. The poll taken as to the topic do women still wear nylons to the office anymore. A dramatic increase the survey said was yes. Out of 100 women surveyed 75% said yes, while 25% said they don’t. The basic reason was a fashion protest, of a synthetic product was worn to please us male corpuscles only, the other complaint was the lack of durability and a scratchy feeling against the leg. One survey respondent said the rubbing on her personal parts got her over sexually stimulated, and thought that might be bad at the office. Really, Nylons give me a stiffy so maybe that’s accurate. But then I saw on Facebook and it still bugs me some, that while my postings are frequently removed from Facebook faster than sliding into your long John’s on a cold winter morning, that others can post nearly if not exactly the same thing, but it said doesn’t violate Facebook’s standards or TOS’s. So then hit on a few of a few of those suggested pages about the subject, and 80% of the posters were of male corpuscles ogling over some hot mama, on there. There’s in my opinion a large divide, on admiring a woman’s body or legs, and looking like a hungry Coyote at the proverbial RoadRunner. Then saw on Evanston Auto Classifieds, page that there’s going to be this year at their annual rod show, a pin up girl contest. They didn’t say girl or lady, but there’s the continuation of the contest being more women not men. Really? Hope they have better luck at it than we do. Finding hot hiney to photograph with customs to trucks to toew trucks to warbirds is a constant talent search. But bet money they got the idea from us.

Something we are working on here that is paramount, and very costly is side of the road billboard signage advertising giving a slight boost to both the radio werx as well as the club overall. Something that might look like this. THE OTHER OBJECT TO THE SIGNAGE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE RIFF RAFF does not even think of invading Evanston, we exterminate riff raff, everywhere we go, and if you think we are attempting to be the fuzz, think again, but while law enforcement can only do so much, The Knytes can do what cops can’t.

It was great bein on air again this past two days or so. But I’m feeling kinda caged. Not to fear, this next week or so, going to fetch LexiBelle, and ya’ll know what rests on LexiBelle’s shoulders, my Harley. As I close, think of it this way, Ever see a Harley parked at a head shrinks office?

This Nation needs Ethics cleansing

I did not say Ethnic Cleansing, as there are assholes of every color, and cultural background, yet when some people research me or the club they see just a small window, and very little of the view. The Knytes have been around since 1968 and have evolved into a one of a very kind. Yet I get called a d—k, from some idiot on some smut Facebook page. As far as I’m concerned its like my mom told me when I was young, its one thing to let people think you’re an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. While the good book says not to hate, and forgive others, and never ever lie, which I do all that, yet I do have my roots, and my Dad always told me you’ve got to stand for something. Or ya’ll will fall for anything. I have relaxed that a bit, over the last 8 years, but I’m getting more of a stronger backbone. I stand for several things, mostly that of defending and proclaiming life from that of a servant of Jesus Christ. Sure I do have my nyloned clad bevy of beauties that help to enhance the visual images of the club’s promotional operations. But even I as well as the Knytes, know you can photograph hot looking gals in classy and upscale threads, rather than trashy scummy and all. I just don’t like showing off something that no guy, that rides a bike, or flys a military aircraft, would ever have the chance of scoring with. It’s like so many hot rod parts and TV shows shows off rides that many of us who home brew rides, from street machines as well as tricked out trucks can’t completely build due to lack of tools or full sized fully equipped shops. Who has a full 6 post lift, in their hobby shop? Or a environmentally certified paint booth? I don’[t, so as Clint Eastwood said in one of his Dirty Harry movies, “ a man has got to know his limitations” .

So went to church today, the Bishop wasn’t there off on vacation. Somewhere living life. So I sat through Testimony meeting, which was all well and good, and I felt more inspired to get up and howl, but held my tung. So Sacrament meeting ended, went to Sunday School, but left Priesthood meeting. I will not go where I am not wanted, or honored. The feeling goes much further than simple pride. After went to KFC, got a Spud Bowl, and came home, ate and now just calming down, after two weeks of absolute bstuff. Plan B still in the game, tow service first, then help club with radio station thing.

I have more to say just can’t put the words together now, see ya’ll l8r tonight.

Just what was on that piece of Sausage this morning?

This morning as a perused over the bin containing something that looked like sausage I noticed this piece of a whit speck on one little piece. Which made me ask the obvious question of just what was that little piece of meat anyway? There are people, that think and have said so, that I gripe about Evanston, even worse than I did in Twin Falls two years ago now, when I flat departed from there. Something that I have been kicking myself in the ass for ever since. Not that Twin Falls is much better but at least Twin Falls has albeit slowly but has advanced into the 20th century , while Evanston is barely climbing out of the 19th century. So the questions I’ve been asked is why stay here? Why keep trying to fit a square peg in a round hole? The reason is , Evanston became a sort of refuge, when my spirit and emotions not too mention my heart was broken , by Janice, aka Monkee. Too many nights alone, too much of a climb to the top of a mountain, that kept looking like more of a climb, consumed what could have been a great connection. I truly, even with the hurt, still miss her. I never met anyone like her, that would have went through what she did. Moving just about every 8 months so I could find that just right place to create what had been lost in Hazzard many years prior. Sleeping in a shop, in Springville, the deep snow in Grace, the millions of female model cover girl, pin up auditions that she sat through, not being at least I thought at the time, phased hardly a bit of jealousy as she just accepted that’s what we did in the club, for our films, motion pictures, ads etc. Until that night I finally got to Montpelier, she was not there. Her stuff packed and a note that said she had taken Mike here to Evanston. So instead of doing what my brain told me, my heart moved me to here to Evanston. So in an attempt I worked my butt off to build the empire here. That was 1997. That’s when Nate and I connected. Over the years I look back and say what a dumb ass, but hey you do what you do right? I see so much potential here in Evanston, that its not funny. Sitting just out of metro Utah’s back door, if just given the right stimulus might grow faster than those marijuana plants in my neighbors apartment. I see a place where the eyes of the performing arts are ignored unless done by a select family, or the ability to grow a meca of not only industry, but of film, music, and yes other performing arts.

If my small radio/TV station can ignite a fire here I’ll be satisfied. But you have to garnish performers. Having at least one decent low cost place to eat, a chamber of commerce, that doesn’t charge $350.00 to join, and an attitude that welcomes albeit moderate growth, but welcomes growth, and agility. A internet system that meets today’s streaming up and down needs, and a newspaper that doesn’t charge $500.00 for a half assed half page. Nate said the other day at lunch, that he has yet to hear anything praising Evanston Wyoming. My response was simply isn’t that what the Knytes are here to do, is to improve this area? I don’t just bitch I intend to fix. But it’d just be nice to get some local support. Fine big companies like Pilot/Flying J does, and a few truck dealers in Utah does, let alone flying groups, and yes a big donation through sponsorships from Harley Davidson, and John Deere, but can we just get a one or two people out there local, to cough up $100.00 for a months advertising. Face it where is there and when can you find ads running for just a flat $100.00 with unlimited airings, for that month? You can’t. What you barely get from other places from the local Dodge dealer, to City Drug Store can’t be bothered is we can’t afford $100.00 , but they’ll buy ads from our broadcasting competitors for several thousand dollars a month.

As I get ready for a night of sleep, as church comes early at 09:00 for one service and 12:30 PM for my LDS Ward, I say this, my bitching is not just bitching. There’s a lot of good people here, there’s people with open minds. Sure I’m sorry some idiot ripped ya’ll a new rear end and you bought it, but KEVA is not us, and add to that we ain’t him. Going past that one simple thing my Bishop mentioned that the Ward did not know me. Well the door is open, get to know me, don’t just wrap your arms around me on Sunday in church and shun me the rest of the week. One member of our ward, as a hobby messes with HAM radio. How about him becoming a assistant engineer here for HazzardAyre. Granted no big if any pay check right now, but what is on the mere doorstep is $200k a month in station revenues if we can just get back on the air full time. The list goes on and on. Like Charlies xyl, who said we’d never have a online radio station. Guess we proved her wrong.

As I taxi in, and park this byrd, just what was on that piece of sausage this morning?

I am Their Flag

No wonder Evanston wants the Knytes here.

Been off the rocks a bit here, over the last few days, caught a stomach flu bug that was having me hurl at anything, so just settled into the Eagles Nest aka Wolfs Den, and watched TV, caught up on paper work.

So with my tummy ache just about healed I decided to go to JB’s here in Evanston.

$13.00 for one trip through the breakfast buffay? Naw that ain’t right. The syrup was already starting to glaze over, the eggs cold, bacon well can’t say what that looked like and add to that a bitchy wait person. Naw, going to avoid that joint. No wonder folks here need us to open up the Reaper, or at least the Hazzard County Grill. I mean, shit, the ability to go get good homemade real food, cooked from scratch, in Evanston is what’s needed here yet few doing that. Oh don’t get me wrong Jodies Diner is still good, but the owners hang with a former intern that I’d just assoon stay away from, hey she quit we didn’t fire her.

Looks as though one of our key people at AllWest is moving to Vermont. Going to miss her, she’s one of a damn few at AllWest that knows how to get at things, and get em going. Of course there’s another situation that comes out.

I had to miss signing the lease to the office space that will soon become the HQ at least in Wyoming of HazzardAyre Radio. The main thing is, who else besides me is going to work it? I can’t do it all, but I can’t as of yet turn much if any of it over to anyone. The response on getting some help for the Reaper has been good, but bring up the idea say at church of getting some of the youth or other unemployed to intern to gain employment once we get rolling is like telling the Bishop, you had a bottle of Jack Daniels before going to church. Say become a broadcaster or radio personality at church? The words are different, but it’s the same attitude, That’s just nasty, just plain nasty. Yet Someone has to deliver the news, someone has to produce church films, conference meetings etc. Do they even understand that going to work at say KSL, if your LDS at all, requires at least a Bishops recommend? Better yet, a Temple recommend. Guess they don’t, KSL is owned by the church and is one of if not the Big dawg of broadcasting in the region, only seconded by us here at HazzardAyre. So for this gig to run like a champion stallion, we need to hire people, trouble is there are too few many here, that even know how to be on radio.

Finalizing here. The community is desperately needing the Knytes, yet are doing everything to keep us from going past the germination phaze.

Why all the phony and fake TV commercials?

Okay so you’re sitting there, all your snacks, coffee and soda watching latenight TV. When all of a sudden a TV ad comes on about some diet product like Lipozine or something. Or the Tread Climber. The people all say how this or that changed their lives. The question is always how low does somebody have to ruin their reputation for a few dollars to endorse a TV ad for a near worthless product that just makes you go to the latrine more. Everybody knows that you loose some weight just by going to the latrine and having regular bowel movements. But it’s not just diet products. The same thing comes from such so called reputable companies as DirecTV that in case you haven’t seen lately replaced Rob Lowe with a female model and a white Talking horse. They claim you get this or that for one price for a year maybe 6 months. Really? They jack your rates nearly triple after the trial period, and try to get out of that contract. DirecTV even tells you, taking your service with you is painless. If you move, sure you can take your box and all, that’s free, but you’ll have to cough up nearly $400.00 to have some just above poverty college boy to come out , climb on your roof and reinstall the damn dish. Why not tell the whole truth so YOU can make an intelligent decision. CenturyLink is nearly as bad, they advertise that they can deliver you 1gig internet. What they don’t say, (you have to read this in the very small fine print) Only good in some areas. If you do look at 1gig Service in say rural Wyoming, look at raking out nearly $2,000.00 . Why not just tell you the truth, and who is at the helm of the Federal Trade Commission as well as the Federal Communications Commission? There needs to be full disclosure and truth laws past. If not to protect your wallet, but protect your health. Many of these ads for diet pills will kill if not seriously make you sick, but they don’t say that. What’s more disturbing, is that one can approach a TV network, and or station to advertise a military aviation organization such as ours, and be turned down simply because you want to show a good looking lady in a form fitting flight suit, but will allow fraudulent or near fraudulent TV ads on. If you think its just nation or big dollar firms, think again. There’s a cash advance company out of Utah, called Mountain West Loan Centers. Their ad features two near twin girls, saying they don’t check credit, bad or no credit okay. Don’t believe it. I applied there once and because my income was military pension and SSI, I couldn’t even borrow $600.00 . Okay some bad credit items popped up, but their ad said that was okay. There’s a zillion horror stories about the firm, yet KTVX will air those ads, but turned down ads to plug HazzardAyre Radio. I read not too long ago, that an LPFM was being fined nearly $20,000 for allowing some program support announcements to give a web addy, as well as a phone number. Yet I see PBS programs running very close announcements, that are disguised ads. Yet no one is knocking down PBS or CPB, for this. Kill the small broadcaster, but let University TV stations get away with it. Bullsbreath. There’s all too many examples, my question is, why? There’s a bill coming up in Congress to address this, and I for one say its about time. Although there will be many of these fraud companies out there lobbying against such a bill that would allow them to keep defrauding the American public, but hey, advertising is the grease that keeps broadcasters on the air. Good, honest ads for real products even spiced up with a hot looking pitch girl, is good. Telling people they can loose a bunch of weight if they take a pill that could kill them isn’t. We watch and explain this because America needs to heal, and this junk ain’t no way to do it.

My opinion I could Be Wrong!!
