mediaroar finds himself a bit coy. Approaching a once-used path, now slightly overgrown and neglected... mediaroar is pleased to announce that the roar blog is back! Almost... A brief glimpse at the date of the last entry, along with a look at recent headlines is surely enough to recruit a few more sceptics and disenfrachised consumers to engage in the struggle to ...fight back! ( Dammit

mediaroar has spent the last 10 years working in the crazy world of media. mediaroar understands that there are, indeed, many tricks of the trade that are, frankly, needed in our 24 hour consumer tastic industry. now sometimes not all is as it seems. .. Natasha Kaplinsky, mediaroar has it on good authority*, needs a staggering 12 hours in makeup just for a lunchtime bulletin. Tom Cruise, among

Take a good look at this man. Here is a great example of how the media can build someone up so very much. Sure, we all enjoyed the various 'Hoff' emails a year or two back, but really... poor Dave isn't aware the admiration for him is ironic. He thinks it's real. He is, however, nothing without his robot car. evil media. Toying with this poor, alcoholic* fool's life. * not technically

Now mediaroar likes telly. In fact, mediaroar, like you, loves to watch a good bit of telly. One of the most predictable battle grounds for the all important audience figures. It is, obviously, in the best interests of everyone if all channels are competing to put out the 'best' programmes, to attract the biggest audiences. iTV1,2,3,4 and the offensively real iTV Play are, I admit, victims of

mediaroar often likes to flatter himself - indeed mediaroar admits it is one of his favourite things the point being, mediaroar sees himself as somewhat of a people's champion. This blog will always hear the call of those pissed off at something, therefore if you have a problem, media based, and if no one else can solve it, and if you can find him, maybe you should hirezzzzzzzz you get my

The first day of the week, and mediaroar walked through the alarmingly warm autumn sunshine, keeping to his usual routine of coffee, paper, tube. Some like to walk their dogs through the park. Some like to take their morning newspaper over breakfast and radio 4. Some people even do 'jogging' , or, 'yogging'...I'm not sure if it's a silent 'J'. mediaroar rejects all of the above for the warm,

mediaroar has yet to finish his sandwich, and already I feel the urge to cry and commit violence. In that order. click, listen and vomit you simply can't buy class. Never mind the daily express readers who want to ban muslims, why not concentrate on one of the true horrors of our times... At least Bob the Builder bothered to sing in tune. Does it get any worse than this? grrrr x

If there is one thing that mediaroar loves more than a day off, it is the feeling that someone has actually read his blog. Waiting in the inbox this morning was the confirmation we have all been waiting for. mediaroar can confirm that BBC Newsround favourite Ellie Crisell does indeed choose monkeys as her favourite animal. Also, Ellie was kind enough to read mediaroar and provide the

As mediaroar watches the rain, the grey sky, and feels the temperature falling like leaves - It would be easy to get depressed at this time of year. SKY news, on in the background, is playing its part too - Israel wants to bomb Iran, North Korea wants to start a fight with the world, and according to reports yesterday, Britain is now the top target for Al Qaeda. Joy. So, surely nothing else can

"whatever you do, once you start posting, don't stop" The wise words of esteemed wordsmith beefbagel, spoken to mediaroar not three weeks ago. I'm sorry - I've been away, and busy, and away again. mediaroar was not entirely surprised to find out that some people are clearly quite mad. 4 (four) people saw fit to complain about multi-national TV maker Sony, for making an advert that 'evokes

mediaroar has been a little upset today. It wasn't the utter lack of ANY decent Halloween programming on mainstream TV, (although granted, the sight of Chelsea winning again was disturbing)nor was it the actual arrival of Autumn, which involved mediaroar exclaiming ''fuck me, it's freezing!'' in front of a disapproving nun outside a tube station. mediaroar has been upset by the fact that no

Firstly: Don't ever start off by cooing 'hiya!' at me down the telly. Second: Don't ever tell me it's going to be a lovely lunchtime 4 hours after lunchtime. Third: Don't ever contextualise your ramblings by saying 'if you're anything like me..' I'm not. If I was, I would do the honorable thing and resign. Still, you are infinately more pleasing, effective and engaging than

mediaroar has been feeling rather guilty recently. Yes, yes, I have been as faithful to my blog as Bill Clinton was to the next President Senator Hilary. mediaroar has also been feeling bad for his old chums at ITV. Falling share prices, no boss and as popular as Christiano Ronaldo in Kent. Whispers were heard over the last week. "wait and see, we have an announcement that will knock your

mediaroar loves new things. A new day, a new car, and especially a new TV channel. For those of you who are familiar with the little known war going on in Iraq, you will recognise the name of the oft-used Arabic news agency Al Jazeera. Not content with serving the world in Arabic,' A-J 'has spread its wings and, only 17 months slightly late, finally launched its much heralded Al Jazeera

Justice is a funny thing. Freedom of speech is a good thing. The 'leader' of the BNP has just been cleared of all charges of inciting racial hatred. He has now just stated that young men, young Muslim men are a threat to little girls everywhere. mediaroar must be careful, and respect the verdict of the Jury - who have found him unanimously not guilty. mediaroar abhors the facist racist

Well hello there. Welcome to what I hope will turn out to be the start of a beautiful, vitriolic and downright honest reporting of everyway the 'media' has managed to piss me off. What do I mean? We are surrounded by it. Everywhere, all the time, in everyway. T.V. Interweb, newspapers, adverts, Radio, posters, text messages, WAP, WiFi, everywhere you go, the media is there. To serve,
