We don't have a PR firm and I don't think J.TV does either. They're just doing something colorful.

Or not,
but because the medium is perfectly suited to Mr. Warhol's taste..."I like boring things," he once wrote
I guess the site might make its millions by stroking people's vanity (which is why I suggested a while back to rename it to something that doesn't so obviously stroke someone else's vanity, viz, Justin Kan), but it's so wrist-cuttingly dull I don't even want to think about it. I really hope it was more than high costs that marginalized Cinema verite so many years ago--perhaps that viewers want something more than voyeurism.
The idea of letting everyone broadcast is colorful, even if the median broadcast is not.
I thought it was also a clever play on "just in" as in "this just in".
