Adventurers and advertisements

June 27th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Jim Clash posted an interview with Frank to his charming online “Adventurers” TV series at Forbes.com:

Jim Clash’s work deserves much wider notice for his quirky and quick-witted and very short incursions into the lives of interesting folks–e.g. Roger Bannister, Joe Frasier, Buzz Aldrin, and my own adventurous husband Frank Wilczek.

It’s a shame that the Forbes “video network” seems maniacally determined to tax your patience and interest to the limit before letting you access the content you came to see. Blaring and obnoxious video ads just don’t quit! Have an ad for Microsoft–now have an ad for Forbes.com–now have another ad for Microsoft.

Do you need to search for the content using Forbes’s search box? New search results page–new ad for Microsoft! Click through from search result to content–sorry, first you have to watch another long pre-ad for some extraneous Forbes content before the video you want to see.

Still, none of this slogging should overtax the courage of a real Adventurer!

    Hurray–Adventurer Jim Clash cut free and got his own channel on YouTube–what an improvement!

    You can now see Frank 1 and Frank 2 without annoying Microsoft ad interruptions.

    Thank you, Jim, and thank you also to YouTube!
