Kevin Spacey From The Emmy Winning House Of Cards And Senator John McCain With A Hilarious Spoof On Representative Nancy Pelosi by Brad Richdale ®

If you need to go to the bathroom do so now before you watch Kevin Spacey, and Senator John McCain spoof Representative Nancy Pelosi at the White House correspondents dinner via Kevin's smash hit on Netflix, House of Cards. A huge hit and demonstration of real Search Marketing.

I'm sure President Obama laughed pretty hard when he saw this.  Of course it mentions FACEBOOK.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2rAK_78mv0 also review Season One of  House of Cards at Brad Richdale Business.

How this has expanded using Social Media is mind-blowing.

The Truth About Media Fragmentation Slapping DRTV Revenues by Bradford Richdale

Obviously with the recent events happening around the world you must agree that we are no longer "in Kansas anymore". No, the World has changed forever. The debt rating of the United States is in the toilet and meanwhile the Facebook age is now upon us, it's not a fad it's a fixture.

I read recently that the average person spends nine hours a day using social media. Obviously that has impacted Direct Response Television and television viewing in general.

The major networks are drowning in red ink as media fragmentation has hit them head on and networks that are more nimble and have less overhead are taking market share through both reality TV and new production with series like The KillingSuits and Franklin and Bash.

Human beings are simply handling more media than ever before so how do you compete in Direct Response Television?  It's actually more difficult than ever before with short form spots advertising $10 products, and media time still costing a ridiculous amount of money but there is hope albeit with conditions.

If you look at continuity businesses they seem to still be airing but the question is why?  Quite simply the offers we see are gauging the lifetime value of each new customer and those producers airing those offers are savvy willing to buy customers up front knowing that they are acquiring customers for a business model not a deal.

If you are making a one time sale without continuity you better be at a 5:1 or above margin with a product that appeals to everyone and be at retail.

Things are different and the amount of offers that can work are few and between but you can't change the course of the world. Social media has shot TV in the head and no one can patch it up.  Social media isn't a fad it's part of how the world communicates.

Tread carefully if you are using Direct Response TV you can lose your shirt if you aren't prepared to patiently grow a continuity business or sell a mass market product that will work at retail.
