Tributes to... fictional fluff?!?

Gee - some real-life couples, that actually LASTED too, never got such treatment! I can think of Elsa Lanchester and Charles Laughton for instance...







All I can think of bothering to add is...
Onwards to 2012!

Oh - and Trust No One - yeah!

Now, How To Persuade *You%#!%Tube*...!!!

Let's see how long it will take them now...
About a week ago, I posted on TLB Prime the short one-minute long classic and unforgettable (for near-perfect, no less) intro to THE PERSUADERS. The music, the presentation, the two profiles, side-by-side, perfectly laid-out for us to get a sense of the two characters portrayed so joyously by Tony Curtis and Roger Moore's "parallel lives" yet worlds apart... Within a week indeed, they took off that video for it "violated terms of use" somehow! Here, click on it and see what it says! Double-click and go to the website itself - there you will get the sad statement that makes no sense whatsoever!


(However, you can still listen to the great music - minus the great visuals from the classic intro, alas - by clicking on the player below! ;)
(You can't beat me YouTube - you just can't!!!)


WHY did this violate terms of use? Because it's copyrighted material? So are thousands of video-clips that are shown on YouTube.com - even entire episodes of trendy TV shows such as "Entourage", cut up in several parts so that they do not infringe upon the rules regarding the time duration of a video on YouTube.com! THOSE get to remain on the site "forever" - but not the good stuff?!?

Now, I double-dare YouTube.com to take off THIS video (below), which is another intro (vastly inferior) from yet another "action duo" short-lived series (Hardcastle & McCormick, which, in French, was unrecognizably titled "Le Juge et Le Pilote" - yikes! Not the best of Stephen J. Cannell's offerings back then or ever, so it had it coming! At least, The Persuaders were charmingly re-titled in la langue de Moliere as... Amicalement Vôtre! You just can't beat that either!)
Damn You, YouTube Turds! The Persuaders theme is GREAT MUSIC! Great music by one John Barry - THE MAN! While this thing right below here is CRAP in comparison! You will likely leave it on for a while... For everyone not only to be lukewarm about it but to IGNORE COMPLETELY! I guess that, if it isn't even noticed, it is not violating any rules or terms of use THEN - right???
THAT makes as much sense as any of your damn rules - YouTurds!
