Not hottie, hot, hot, hot for ABC
Monday, September 24th, 2007Former Rocketboomer, Best Damn Hottie, Hot, Hot, Hot winner and more recently, ABC’s answer to new media has been quietly released from her contract (or has apparently decided not to renew) with the network after it became quite evident that the experiment bit the big one.
Traditional media (and traditional viewers) have traditionally had a difficult time adopting new media so it shouldn’t come as a huge shocker to us. I thought Amanda was a pretty risky choice. Her quirkiness was at times a little too quirky, even for a quirky bastard like me so for old schoolers, it was most likely, too much. A spot like Rocketboom was a far better platform as it has an underground vibe to it rather than being smothered with an establishment feel. Overall a failed experiment but no harm, no foul. Amanda is off to pursue other things (of course we wish her well), ABC will go back to the drawing board and most likely come up with another potentially lame option. Maybe Chris Crocker on assignment?
