It is the first rule of Radio Survey. Don't talk about Radio Survey. But throughout the six-week period that measures commercial radio stations' audiences and defines their advertising pull, presenters are implicitly shouting it in listeners' faces with stunts and promotions. It's a desperate war that's seeing an increasingly desperate approach from the stations. During the mornings on Mai FM they've regurgitated last year's stunt, wheeling out the Wheel of Tortune. The breakfast hosts spin in the hope a listener wins $500, instead of them being used as a human toilet brush, or their hair being gelled with tuna and bleach. This month ZM was forced to rename their Real Housewives of New Zealand competition, after the US producers of reality series The Real Housewives of Orange County, sent the radio station a cease and desist letter, saying the name was too close to their own. Now named ZM's Ladies of New Zealand, the competition has put up four women, including a colourful … [Read more...] about The first rule of Radio Survey: don’t talk about Radio Survey

Movie fanatic builds replica “Herbie” for $3,600
A movie fanatic in England built a replica Herbie for $3,600. Ross Nicholson, 27, bought a 1972 Beetle for $2,400 on Facebook Marketplace and painstakingly tracked down authentic accessories to make it resemble the cult race car from the iconic Disney movie The Love Bug . Film buff Nicholson said going out in Herbie sparks a wave of affection from other drivers, including fellow VW geeks who flash their lights at him. He often sees parents telling their kids about the car, and said it has taken a bit of getting used to. Other film props which Nicholson has replicated include a 6.5-foot Terminator, which took six months to make in his garage in Gorebridge, Midlothian, England. Nicholson spent $600 on transporting Herbie up from London, another $240 on vinyl stickers to go on the white paintwork, $360 on a new carpet, and used his own skills along with a friend to give the engine some TLC. He spent $240 on a race stick-shift that is a replica of the original used in … [Read more...] about Movie fanatic builds replica “Herbie” for $3,600
Ben & Jerry’s to remain on sale in West Bank after Unilever agrees Israel deal
Consumer good giant Unilever has sold its Ben & Jerry’s business in Israel in a move that will allow the ice cream brand to remain available to consumers throughout the country and the West Bank . Unilever has agreed to offload the division to Avi Zinger, the owner of American Quality Products, which is the current Israel-based licensee of Ben & Jerry’s.

New driving rules could soon include a £70 fine for those who park on the pavement
Parking on pavements could soon be banned across England with £70 penalty fines under new laws expected to be rolled out this year. The new legislation would ban antisocial parking to make pavements safer for families and people with disabilities and visual impairments. This law change – which already exists in London - is in response to complaints about pavement parking and the increased risks it poses to those who rely on them to travel. The Department for Transport (DfT) first launched a proposal into the new rules last September. It can obstruct roads for people who have disability of visual impairments ( Image: Getty Images/Tetra images RF) It set out three options to make it easier for councils to ban pavement parking - giving local authorities powers to fine drivers who park on paths and an outright ban. The public consultation period ended on November 22 with an outcome expected imminently. A DfT spokeswoman told The Mirror the government is now … [Read more...] about New driving rules could soon include a £70 fine for those who park on the pavement
EXCLUSIVE: Larry Elder Says U.S. Media Is Ignoring His Film On Black Conservatives | The Daily Wire
Larry Elder often lets filmmakers interview him at his radio studio, but the syndicated talker rarely sees the results. Well-intentioned filmmakers get distracted or come up short on the funding front, Elder explains. Director Justin Malone, eager to capture what it’s like to be a black conservative in America, was different. Malone shared his footage with the best-selling author and talk show host. “It was beautifully shot in black and white. I liked the angles,” Elder recalls. So he asked Malone how far along he was on the project. If this were a baseball game, Malone explained, he’d be in the top half of the first inning. That didn’t scare Elder. He offered to help raise funds for the documentary. Two years later, “Uncle Tom” is available for rental at UncleTom.com and has made back its modest budget and then some, says Elder, who co-wrote and produced the film. “Uncle Tom” showcases the abuse black conservatives like Elder receive from the Left, something the L.A. … [Read more...] about EXCLUSIVE: Larry Elder Says U.S. Media Is Ignoring His Film On Black Conservatives | The Daily Wire
