Good Griefing

July 15, 2010 By WHC Insider

The best advertising can also be the most unfortunate, especially when it comes to Photoshop or domain registers.

Cases in point: Lawrence Bender, producer of Inglorious Basterds and Kill Bill, was in D.C. to promote his newest feature, the nuclear arms doc Countdown to Zero and addressed how a few Tea Party folks re-purposed the poster art from Bill.

He told Politico:

“It’s slightly humorous what they’re doing,” he said. “They’re ripping everything they can to make their point.”

On the front-end of the media spectrum, KeithOlberman.com now takes you to The Daily Caller, which is just as Tucker Carlson hopes it would. He owns the domain after all.

The moral of this? Good grief can always be avoided.
