Benita Veliz for Red Brown and Blue: “Life Inside the Music Box Ain’t Easy.”

Recently, I heard the song “Music Box” by Regina Spektor. The first few lines of the song say, “Life inside the music box ain’t easy. The mallets hit, the gears are always turning. And everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out”.

Identity theft, which carries a two-year mandatory prison term, is the crime of using stolen credit cards and other personal information to purchase goods and drain bank accounts. That’s very different than an undocumented immigrant using a bogus Social Security number to obtain honest work. The high court’s recent… Continue

Four Tips To Consider When Going Viral

In a recent episode of NBC’s reality show, “Celebrity Apprentice”, contestants were requested to create a viral video for a laundry detergent. Although many of us think of a viral video, as a spontaneous, non-professional video created for fun and entertainment, many marketers are going viral to promote their products and brands in a non-traditional, less expensive way. In this case, the video needs to be aligned with the company’s conservative image, message and values, which could make it… Continue

SUMMER BLOCKBUSTERS…ARE THEY WORTH THE TIME?
