Episode 271: Baffling Ripples of Synergy

Play Now!

Just in case you don't get enough advertising in the privacy and sanctuary of your home, good news! Refrigideezers will soon show you ads on a screen on the door! It's true! I react to this silliness in this Episode 271: Baffling Ripples of Synergy.

In this episode, I read from or mentioned: an old Smart TV privacy policy*; an article describing a Smart TV maker inserting an ad in a streamed video*; Android Authority's article about ads coming to the Silly Screen on your refrigi-deezer; and a Billboard Insider article about combining radio ads with face plants.

I play: a BBC television news story* featuring a man named Peter Kent telling his telly to change channels. Musically, KMFDM opens the show backing Shoshana Zuboff; and I close with Julie & Rolf & the Campfire Gang singing "Over the Rainbow."
