Generation Chatter: Platinum Bunny Multimedia’s Reorganization

Time is more valuable than money. One can acquire additional money. One cannot acquire additional time. Since Platinum Bunny Multimedia’s inception, I have enhanced my portfolio with exciting and intensive, yet unanticipated projects. Culture Popped, Googling Atlee Hammaker, and Gossip CBUS’ requirements conflict with these projects and therefore compromise must occur.

Generation Chatter , via a one hour weekday webcast and my twitter, will unite Culture Popped’s expansive opinion, Googling Atlee Hammaker’s expeditious comedy, and Gossip CBUS’ social and special event coverage. My twitter account, which averages over fifty tweets per day, has been operational since earlier this month. Generation Chatter’s initial webcast will occur on Monday.

In our modern online environment, one must remain nimble and properly allocate every moment. While Culture Popped, Googling Atlee Hammaker, and Gossip CBUS archives will remain available, their practical existence has concluded. Generation Chatter and my twitter will serve as my public method of communication. This announcement and decision will continue my current interests and permit supplementary projects.

Mad Men: A Southwestern City Schools Benefit Synopsis
Combining 1960s cultural commentary on the hit show Mad Men with real-time Columbus community needs, a local fundraiser/watch party will premiere the third season of the AMC hit at Renaissance Hotel Bar 41 on Sunday, August 16, starting at 9 p.m. A $5 suggested donation at the event will benefit Citizens for South-Western City Schools.

Nominated for a stunning 16 Emmy Awards… Local “maddicts” are buzzing about the show, airing from 10 p.m – 11 p.m. on widescreen TVs during the watch party in Mynt’s chic bar space. Whether you’re a suit or a skirt, don your fedoras or white gloves and get ready for a swanky, scintillating evening of chit-chat and cocktails to benefit a timely local cause.

“I’m fascinated by the depiction of the glory days of advertising on Madison Avenue, with the drama that accompanied gender roles in the workplace and a home during a cultural revolution of shifting family values in the 1960s,” said event organizer Crystal Olig, of Westerville.

Come early and stay late to sip a Tom Collins or Manhattan in Don Draper style. Show off chic 60's vintage gear that would make Joan Holloway jealous. Prizes will be awarded for best outfit, best MadMenYourself.com avatar (must be posted to the event's Facebook wall) and more.

“When we were starting to put the event together, right after the failed vote on Issue 2, we decided to try and help South-Western City Schools however we could,” said co-organizer Bridget Weizer-Granger.

Mad Men Synopsis
The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper (Jon Hamm), the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.
