stumbled across this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Cool_%28film%29At the film-review aggregator Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 for reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score of 1, based on 4 reviews, indicating "Overwhelming dislike".[4] Frank Schreck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review, stating, "Filled with ethnic stereotypes, scatological humor, profane language and characters who are not so much caricatures as cartoons, Not Cool well lives up to its title."[1] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times opined that the "characters are vile; the acting is terrible (Mr. Dawson, who has had some YouTube success, cast himself in a leading role); the tone is a confusing mishmash; and there’s not an original thought or joke in the thing."[5] The Los Angeles Times also gave it a negative review, calling the film "an abyss, an insult to the craft of filmmaking, storytelling and entertainment in almost every way, which is maybe what Dawson's 10 million YouTube subscribers want. (There must be some reason they find him appealing.)"[2]

lol. "Here’s a statement from Maker: “Lisa and Ben have left the company. They will always be an important part of the Maker family [what? they left the family! maybe they are alums?]. We [the amorphous we] are forever grateful for their pioneering vision in founding the company five years ago that has since become the world’s leading provider of online video content for millennials. Lisa and Ben are among the most creative people we know and we wish them all the best.” "Earlier this week, Maker announced it had hired new managers who had worked at AOL and Yahoo." oh goody, AOL and Yahoo, full of creative groundbreakers, I am sure.

totally unclear if there was cash exchanged in the deal? but it could be a consolidation to make a unit that appeals more to Disney and whoever else thinks they need to buy up this stuff.

Look for the NSA to start vlogging in the coming months. They are, they are Smosh. I like your observation that perhaps the way people interact with computer video can create a closer emotional connection than a TV does. I passed along the link to the article to hyemew, who reports feeling out of the youth pop culture loop entirely at this point. even to the point of not understanding "bae".

none of the recent reporting says anything about Vogel's backstory. Found a 1997 wedding announcement: www.nytimes.com/1997/04/20/style/carol-vogel-and-thomas-heneage.htmlShe married Thomas Peter William Heneage (2nd married for him it says) on April 11, 1997. Vogel gradated from Sarah Lawrence Colllege, the daughter of Faye (Henle) Vogel and Raphael Vogel. will update this entry if i find more. --- www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2004/aug/01/features.review27"Thomas Heneage, owner of Thomas Heneage Art Books in London, agrees. He has been married to Carol Vogel, the art market correspondent for the New York Times, for seven years, but they have never lived together. 'When we fell in love, neither of us was prepared to give up his or her career. My shop has been open for 20 years and Carol loves her job. But we did not want to give each other up either,' he explains. 'We decided the best way to keep it together was to get married. You have to have a grown-up, pragmatic approach to relationships to make this work. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't.' The couple's complicated travel schedule takes in trade fairs and art sales around the world, while always keeping to the three-week rule. 'We would love to be together more but I can't see it happening while we continue in our current careers,' he says. Thomas is 54, with a child from a previous marriage; he and Carol have no desire to have children together." [well, being 50 would make that biologically hard for her ....] ==== Carol has a linked-in page, but its private (one can tell its likely hers because its linked to her husband; but she only has 12 connections so she isn't active there ...) --- www.nytimes.com/2002/10/16/classified/paid-notice-deaths-rebenfeld-ellen-vogel.htmlobit for her aunt. REBENFELD-Ellen Vogel. Died at the Medical Center in Princeton, NJ, on Monday, October 14, 2002. ...wife of Dr. Ludwig Rebenfeld... In addition to her husband she is survived by a nephew Frederick Vogel in Connecticut, a niece Carol Vogel Heneage in New York and a cousin Ellen Viner Seiler in Princeton. ... == Born October 1953, currently lives in Manhattan (not a shock)

On Monday, Fishbowl DC uncovered a section of a NY Times article by Carol Vogel which plainly lifted a paragraph from the Wikipedia entry of some old dead painter, Piero di Cosimo. A few words are changed, but its actually a plainly clear case of plagiarism. The NYTimes ombudsmen (public editor, whatever she's called) has already agreed, today. www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/an-nyt-lede-too-close-for-wikipedia-comfort_b221364publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/07/30/carol-vogel-plagiarism-investigation/?_php=true&_type=blogs&partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0And just last week, Buzzfeed editor Benny Johnson was fired for copying wikipedia -- the atrocities being unearthed by anonymous twitter types after Johnson bitched about a claimed copying of some article he did on George H.W. Bush's sock fetish. I've seen some of my wikipedia entries being used as a source for articles before (because the articles cite facts in the same light that I cast them on wikipedia) without attribution, but not wholesale copying like this. As the NYTimes is still held up as a bastion of journalism, though, this is disheartening. Apparently Vogel has had past scrapes: blogs.artinfo.com/modernartnotes/2013/11/oops-carol-vogel-did-it-again-and-again/"Among other journalists, New York Times reporter Carol Vogel is about as unpopular as can be. Why? For one, she routinely runs stories other writers and publications broke first, and presents them as her own." The plagiarism charged now appears in the first paragraph of the NY Times article, that surely made it easier for someone to find. Vogel also is not some 20something whippersnapper who doesn't know how to crack open a book or flip phone. The first byline I can see for her in the New York Times is way back in 1981.

www.dailydot.com/lol/amelia-bedelia-wikipedia-hoax/I helped the author with this one a bit, she kindly attributed me far beyond my true worth. This kind of "subtle" vandalism (it wasn't really that subtle, but somehow it struck a chord in people of being fascinating but somehow still true) is apparently hard to detect, its amazing it stayed in the article for 5.5 years.
