“The Jace Hall Show” Hops On The Bus

I used to ride the bus almost exclusively during my days living in Chicago. When I wasn’t busy fending off homeless people looking to “ask me a question” I spent the majority of my time bored, staring out the window wondering if it could possibly get any colder (the eventual answer was “yes”).

Current passengers on the Los Angeles public transit system don’t have the “cold” problem, but boredom i.e. a lack of anything interesting to engage in, certainly is an issue.

Enter the Jace Hall Show…

From Hulu to IGN, Metacafe to Machinima the Jace Hall Show has appeared on almost every major online destination that you could imagine. But now, it’s going where no video game series has gone before.

The Bus…via Transit TV.

What is Transit TV, you say? Well, it happens to be the largest out-of-home digital network that provides information and entertainment to transit riders in North America. And it’s now carrying episodes of the Jace Hall Show.

That’s right, the same episodes that included Steed, Felicia Day, and Stan Lee are now airing on your local Public Transit (this includes just Los Angeles, for now).

You might just miss your stop…

But why Transit TV? Jace Hall Show producer, Todd Roy says:

Media is spilling out into different forms–be it on the Internet, streaming TV’s, or public transit. The interstitial nature of the Jace Hall show was a perfect fit for what Transit TV’s programming needs were, which is why it made sense to be on there. It’s a straight forward monetization model, we know who the audience is and it’s an ad-based system.

Perhaps what’s most alarming is how big that audience is. According to Transit TV’s public site:

The weekly reach of their programming is over 1.3 million people, with nearly half of those being18-34.

Metro Bus is the second largest bus system in North America with over 2,000 vehicles and 4,300 screens. That’s essentially 4300 TV’s on wheels…

Rumor Squashed: Nope, No Galliano for Topshop

Sorry Betches.

We all got excited at the prospect of Galliano and Topshop teaming up but the British retailers took to Twitter to imply that it was all BS by saying: “It’s incredible how rumors get started!” Later Sir Philip Green (Topshop owner) explained to Vogue, “I saw John Galliano at Kate’s wedding last Friday. I did not discuss any business with him then, nor have I since.”

Then Galliano’s people decided to spoil any remnants of hope when they said, “His only focus for the foreseeable future is concentrating on his rehab. There is no truth in this rumour.”

Well, damn.

Monica Cruz in a bikini

Penelope Cruz's sister Monica was spotted vacationing in Ibiza on Thursday, and I can't help but wonder, who's the more famous Cruz sister? And I know what you're thinking "C'mon, Penelope dated Tom Cruise and was up for an Oscar." True, but on the same token, Monica is on this site and in a bikini. So it's basically a toss-up.

In fact, not even NASA knows for certain and, on a related note, have threatened to launch me into space if I keep asking. Which, jokes on them, was my plan all along. I'm gonna bang a moon-maid!
