rewatching two of my favorite frontline episodes on PBS.org :: the persuaders and merchants of cool

Comments (4)

me too! old fav of my fav pbs show. the whole thing ends up rather circular. How do you know who is a "trend setter?" that the merchants of "cool" are watching them? How did they find them? Are they unpaid shills? Are they future PR hacks?

eek.. Thanks, Ze! I've been a follower of Douglas Rushkoff for quite some time and have always meant to watch this. You just provided me with the reminder I needed.

"The Persuaders?!" I just read the Frank Luntz interview at Frontline's site a couple of days ago...when I discovered he's on Twitter.

Heh, my grandfather is the old guy running up the stairs in the nike commercial in the persuaders in the second chapter. Both these episodes are pretty cool.
