My Personal Rebrand

 

“Imitation is the sincerest form of television,” said radio satirist Fred Allen. In that vein I am contemplating changing my handle so that I can get in on the cutting edge of media today. Introducing EJHill+.

What will be coming from EJHill+? Not much more or different, really. But I’ve got 1,300 posts in the can and hundreds of photoshops. “But all of that stuff is obsolete and dated,” you say. Of course it is, but we know that value is all in the presentation. To begin with, this obsolescence will never be referred to. No, no, no. This is the stuff from The Vault. Everyone knows only valuables are kept in The Vault. It has to be important. I mean, it’s both italicized and trademarked.

Next, everything in The Vault™ will come with a trigger warning:

This content includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of liberals. These depictions were dead on the money then and are mostly vindicated now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact on Progressives and their causes, learn from it and spark conversation. EJHill+ is committed to creating content with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe. And screw you, you whiny little turd.

Ok, maybe it won’t carry that last line. Legal is still working on that. But this is to let you know that you’re walking a fine line just by showing up. By God, how could you read that paragraph and not feel you’re committing a subversive act from the get-go?! Why the article itself will be considered so hot you’ll want to order your own EJHill+ branded hazmat suit. (Merch!)

To be honest, Major Investors* are questioning this move. Ratings for the regular EJHill have been, well, stagnant, especially in “the coveted demo.” There has been talk about delaying the launch until The Board votes on it. (I swear the dog gave me her proxy! She’s a Wire Proxed Terrier!) But I believe I have set reasonable goals with reasonable expectations. All it has to do is last one day longer than CNN+.

    EJHill: And screw you, you whiny little turd.

    A sentiment that needs to be expressed more frequently.

    Those albums usually come from the record label’s decision, not the fact that the artist doesn’t have any new material. Same with Christmas-themed albums and suchlike.

    Chuck did the music for the movie Children of Sanchez. That was pretty good. My band worked with the arranger who put together an arrangement for bands that did it justice.

    EJHill+ (NYSE SYMBOL EHL) 

    Major Bets Placed On Multiplatform Merchandising

    Intellectual Property Holder and Website Operator EJHill+ announces national cross-promotion agreements with the National Football League, Major League Baseball, global toymaker Mattel Industries, and energy provider ExxonMobil to merchandise a range of children’s toys for the 2022 Christmas season.

    Called “EJ’s Posse”, the 1/64th scale plastic models, action figures, and spring-loaded devices resemble the varied mobile units involved in live television sports production. Toys include a Live Truck, Camera and Cable trucks, a Microwave transmitter and antenna vehicle, as well as generators and the tankers that fuel them. 

    “There’s nothing woke about us”, said company founder and CEO EJ Hill. “We know that these will be boys’ toys. But we welcome any customers buying them for their daughters as well. If they want to grow up have jobs that require them to roll up hundreds of pounds of wet, dirty camera cable, I’d be the last to stand in their way.”

    When I was in high school band, everyone in the brass section was trying to learn that song. I’ve heard it enough. I’ve heard it on Tuba.

    @garymcvey RE: Toy line.

    Two of the best sports camera operators I ever knew were (are) women.

    But the set wouldn’t be complete with out the guy with his arms crossed, just standing around and wearing white gloves. That would be the graphics guy.
