    Whoever is behind that puppet is a very lucky man.

    If Zivity empowers women why do they have to pay women to post their nude picture?

    Women should post their pics for free that is what emancipation is about!

    But I give Cyan credit for putting all on the line and revealing her nakedness to us!

    Loren, great video interview!

    You cannot get enough of Sobleizer? he is everywhere! lol

    We all follow him!

    Cyan has some nice headlamps, but you know it’s not that hard to get women to show some tit in real life down here in Florida, especially if they’re drunk.

    Even gay guys like some delectable cans, but those Scoble heads are nightmare-inducing.;-)

    Closest Scoble will ever come to boobs?

    When Scobles leaves fastcompany in a year or so, maybe Loren will give him a job as his assistant or something - Scoble, your videos SUCK! No one cares you will be interviewing CEO’s of Top 100 companies, any of Loren’s recent 5 minutes satirical videos would be much more interesting. You are YESTERDAY’S NEWS Scoble.

    The best thing you ever did was Channel9 and specifically the Bill Hill stuff, you have not done anything as good since leaving MS except earn more money and watch your waist-line expand into “obese” territory.

    ah, Igor,

    maybe you do not understand the nature of the art of Burlesque??? Or maybe you have never had the pleasure of meeting this amazing side of American culture? From my very fun adventures in the NYC scene the girls are smart, beautiful in nontrad ways and ALWAYS underpaid by the shmucks. Even at the Slipper Room the artists only make about $75 a night IF they are lucky.

    Hats off for Cyan for making a platform for the girls!

    sex sells. whoring lives on. what’s new here? the fact that VC’s invested? yes. but it seems clear why they invested after watching this clip.

    Shel (the puppet) is disarmingly cute thus really brings out the natural in his subjects. Cyan is easygoing and attractive…and Zivity? Sounds like a brilliant and appealing concept to me.

    Kudos to everyone in that video. (cept Scobs, his contribution was counter productive).

    “This weeks SHOW brought to you BY…”

    Friggin’ love it. Can’t wipe off the damn Kool-Aide smile.

    Probably the best Shel Israel interview ever. Cool as a cucumber. I would have been like, “Homina homina homina” like Ralph Kramden.

    I have to agree with the pink comment as well.
