Someone sent me this quote. I don't know which thread it's in and am too lazy to read through all of them to find it, so here it is:
One step ahead of you. But first, the Pro Casino movement doesn't need my help. They're like global warming and I'm like mankind. Nothing I can say or do will help or hurt them.
Now, I'm sure you understand that in order for people to want to listen--or in this case, watch-- what you have to say, you have to get their attention first. Had I started with serious videos, you'd be able to check on them a year after they've been released and they would only have 60 views. Just like all of NCG's serious videos. Instead, I chose to make a splash (by local standards) by entertaining while making my point. Now, there's an audience for more videos. See how this works?
But taking advice on how to make videos for my cause from an NCGer is like a Republican taking advice on how to get elected from Democrats. Stupid. Hence we had Candidate McCain. There's a time and a place for these things and we just aren't ready for the serious ones now. But soon.
"Matt's videos about Violet. I know they play well with you guys, but if he put half that effort to play to what you consider the positive reasons for a casino to be here, how many more supporters might you have going for you?"
