Tina Fey retires Sarah Palin

Mollygood was quick to note that Sarah Palin can rest a little easier on Saturday evenings now that Tina Fey has officially retired her. And while the spoof of the former VP hopeful was created in the guise of good fun, I think Tina's clever, and quite frankly, spot-on satire of Palin did in effect send her packing.

While some political spoofs on SNL tend to dramatically exaggerate personality ticks and public gaffes, Fey's depiction of Palin was a compilation of near verbatim recitations of things Palin had said while on the campaign trail. By branding her as an air head whose startling self interest led her to one embarrassing public encounter after another, Fey may have inadvertently taken down the Alaskan Governor's hopes for not only this past election, but for a future in the national political spotlight.

Fey for her part has said "I have to retire [her] just because I have to do my day job" which is of course 30-Rock. And plus write that book we heard about a few weeks ago.

Corporate Social Responsibility walks hand in hand with the New Social Media
Almost everyone I know has seen the now famous Sarah Palin impersonation by Tina Fey. SNL racked up 10.2 million viewers for their season opening a few weeks back. By the middle of the week, the NBC website had streamed the video of the Palin/Fey sketch 13 million times. As of this week, the New York Times is reporting an astounding 56 million views of some 200 viral videos of the sketches as estimated by Visible Measures, a web analytics firm.

People don’t watch TV anymore. They watch the web.

I know I do. Every Monday I wait to watch Mad Men on the CTV website. I do this, mostly, because I don’t own a TV. At first it was an economic choice. Now, I just don’t think I need one. But honestly, there’s just not much out there that can’t be found on the internet these days. And when I don’t want to bother, I just rent a video (and if I lived in the US, I would probably do that online as well).

Increasingly, we are interacting with the world through a singular medium: the web. Newspapers are redundant and inky. Magazines are still cool, but I can zero in on what I want more quickly via the net. I don’t have to buy maps. I haven’t used the Yellow Pages in a decade (how is it not illegal to use that much paper for something no one wants?). The last bastion of stand alone media is TV. But I’ve discovered a disturbing secret - I don’t need a TV to watch TV.

This little secret brings me to an important point for anyone hoping to utilize Corporate Social Responsibility. Whether it’s as a strategy for customer relations, or employee recruitment and engagement, it is all about the web. If your CSR strategy does not include a Social Marketing piece, then you probably don’t understand your customer segment for CSR.

The following slideshow is an excellent overview of the concept and the importance of utilizing this medium as a tool for your business.

File this under "Please Let This Be True": Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is rumored to be considering an appearance on NBC's Saturday Night Live. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Palin may show up on the program as early as Thursday, when NBC will air a special Weekend Update (next Saturday's show is a scheduled rerun). Wouldn't you just love to see a Sarah-Tina Fey showdown? You just love the idea, dontcha?
