Linda Mickey - Reflections. A look at modern communication - what do articles, ads, and statements really say? Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Yup It's the holiday season. I noticed it just after Labor Day and it was in full swing by November 1. The stores were outfitted in their annual red and green. Television and radio stations started holiday-themed programming. Even Black Friday was moved ahead. The first ad for it was in July. What does "Christmas creep" say about us as a nation and a society? I sugg...

It is Google - again. Good grief. What part of Do Not Call don't you understand? The frequency of these calls is increasing and I'm tired of it. Is it really Google computers that telephone our numbers several times per day? Why isn't Google shouting warnings from the rooftops? It seems logical to me that Google would make sure...

A neighboring town broadcasts its board meetings on local cable. While the discussions are hardly on par with a new episode of NCIS. The voters made their position clear when they did not attend the fundraisers or donate to the committee. Low participation was a visible demonstration of the lack of support. Sometimes s...Now A...

With so little life experience, will a four-year sympathize with the rage that drove the good guys? Did he get the sacrifices people made for each other? Was death something he could truly appreciate? Did he see the first film? Even if he did, did he understand how those plots integrated with this one? The sights...

Three cheers for public television's criticism of realty TV shows. (See the story here. I couldn't agree more. Puleeze. All I can learn there is that some people will do anything, including humiliate themselves and their families, to get on television. Make no mistake. Reality television is scripted. Not in the sense that lines are ...Relea...

My mother had a saying: Fools names and fools faces always appear in public places. She referred to graffiti.
