The New York Times...noting that some actors actually stipulate in their contracts that studios must promote their projects in the paper....

So now we know why the Times so assiduously caters to brainless actors/actresses....IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS.

Web advertising is much better for movies. They can stream their trailers from any of a number of sites.

And would the NY Times be dumb enough to not include a web link to a trailer just because the studio didn't advertise in the paper?

Theaters will still take out ads with schedules of what movies they are showing and the showtimes. But some theaters now only advertise on Thursday-Sun. Blame moviephone, not the web.

The young, male fans that patronise horror films, for example, are easier and less expensive to reach on pornography websites than through newspapers, according to studio executives.

Anyone ever see a porn website advertise anything other than porn?

I doubt that such ads have been placed (there would also be a backlash against the studio and probably outrage from those involved in the film on both sides of the camera).

They are probably more successful to advertise them on Viacom's MTV website, cable channel, and to create a music video tie in "from" the soundtrack so they can run the movie ad, er video, on eMpTyV throughout the day for free.

REAL horror films have been made overseas for the past 20 years and information about them spreads by word of mouth. Japanese horror especially. SOME of them come out on US DVD maybe 2-5 years later. SOME of them are remade for dumb mainstream audiences 5-10 years later. But the die hard horror fans aren't as susceptible to the same type of advertising. Horror films are much more than the same old slasher films.

How many Freepers, who hate the NY Slimes, are supporting the NY Slimes with their mutual funds. Without mutual funds owning the NY Slimes non voting stock, the NYT would be in real trouble.

How do I find out if my mutual funds own NYT Stock, and what can I do if they do?

Here is something, we can all do today to start eliminating the NY Slimes as a threat to our nation's security. We can do it at our computers and do it in less than 1 hour. Besides sending a severe warning to the NY Slimes and the mutual fund companies, who buy NY Slimes stock, we will stop the fund company wasting our precious investment capital on NY Slimes stock.

If a few thousand freepers did this simple action this week and a few thousand new freepers, friends and relatives each following week, we will have a terminal impact on the NY Slimes acts of sedition. Please send this how to your blogs, friends, relatives and email lists. This action will serve as a cannon shot across the bows fo the other Dinosaur Liberal Fish Wraps re sedition will not be tolerated any more, and any mutual fund daring to buy their stock to support treason and sedition by the NY Slimes.

TODAY, SELL/TRADE MUTUAL FUNDS OWNING NYT!!!:

 

Want to smash the NY Slimes?
Check your mutual funds to see if they own NYT, the NY Slimes Stock

 

 

How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

Go to this link to see if your mutual fund owns NYT.

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/ownership/ownership.asp

When the MS Money stock home page comes up, enter NYT into the search area and hit enter and the following screen will show up re ownership of the NY Slimes stock:

The New York Times Company: Ownership Information

  • Shares Outstanding 145.00 Mil

  • Institutional Ownership (%) 83.40

  • Top 10 Institutions (%) 58.60

  • Mutual Fund Ownership (%) 42.64

  • 5%/Insider Ownership (%) 7.77

  • Float (%)

Highlight the Mutual Fund Ownership and hit enter.

If thousands of Freepers, whose mutual funds own shares of NY Slimes did the following:

  1. Sell those mutual funds or trade them for funds not owning NYT.

  2. Send a letter to the fund managers and the CEO's of the mutual fund company telling them why you sold/transferred their mutual fund owning NY Slimes stock. Then demand to know why they are wasting your precious $'s on a treasonous/seditious company which is a terrible investment.

  3. Contact the SEC to investigate why this mutual fund and mutual fund company invested your $'s in one of the worse investments of the past 2 years. On 21 July 2006, NYT closed at the low for this decade. If your mutual fund owns, NYT, was the investment of yours and others a political bailout of the NY Slimes?

    The link below will take you to the SEC site and enable you to use the email form shown on this page. Or you can print the form, fill it out and mail it to the SEC.


    https://tts.sec.gov/acts-ics/do/complaint


  4. Send this how to re Mutual Funds with NYT stock to everyone on your email list for a wakeup call.

We might have a lot more impact selling/trading any mutual fund, which owns NYT, than trying to boycott companies which sell to the elite liberals of NYC and advertise in the NY Slimes.
