It’s nice that i still get job offers from Romanian media companies. It’s nice to know that i have not been forgotten.

I got some links with German bloggers linking to this post of mine about “Blogging in Germany and America”. I needed a translator to understand they agreed with me that the conference was not so nice.
I got a feeling I was back home in Romania when i heard the guys on the stage saying the german companies do not trust and invest in bloggers. Wait, is this Germany, one of the most advanced countries in the world in terms of tech and civilization? That is what i thought so far. That things are more open and more interesting here, in terms of technology. But i did not expect 30-something men complaining about the companies that do no invest in blogs.
In Romania, i make a decent salary blogging. It did take me 3 years to get here (i have been blogging since 2005), but things are more relaxed and more fun now. The media pays attention (even if the are still used to steal from us) and the advertisers do also, because it’s in their best interest.
I’m in the middle of a media storm. I have defaced a poster for an antismoking campaign, and some tv producer took the picture (which says the pretty tv star will give you a blowjob if you quit smoking) and broadcast it live on tv, claiming that it’s the official image of the campaign. And worse, called her live to ask her about the ad.
The tv star got angry, the talkshow got canceled, and heads will roll. All very easy to avoid if they would just printed the source. INsted, they did what media always does in Romania.
I found it on the internet!
But that does not always take the blame.
