Thomas Madsen-Mygdal at DIA07
A little late stuff from DIA07.
My friend Thomas Madsen-Mygdal was the last speaker at DIA07 and intended to be in opposition to the ‘marketing guys’, taking the side of the people - and not just looking at us, the people, as eyes, customers, consumers, but as people… And so he DID, big time - in fact in such a way that fellow speaker Matias ‘I’m a god and like to listen to my selves speaking’ Palm-Jensen (Farfar) and our local viral man Balder Olrik (GoViral) got closed to pissed… Balder managed to try to interrupt Thomas’ speach and Mathis did feel very offended and pissed in the panel discussion later . so pissed he made one of the WORST personal attack I’ve ever seen at a panel discussion… well done guys! Respect to Thomas!

I can only speak for my self, but I was not pissed at Thomas, I just like to discuss with him, he have his opinions and that’s fine. But he claim to represent “The people” and if anybody disagree with him, they disagree with the truth itself. Well then you ask for and interruption from me ; ) Growing up in a home, where idealistic/fanatic politicians where frequent guests, I know this approach all to well - anybody who disagree with us - disagree with the truth - sadly it is to look back to see that non of them where even close - and many bad decisions have been made on that account. So lets just say it rings a little alarm bell when somebody claims to speak of behalf of the people and the truth…
But my interruption was actually mostly meant as a joke, because he said “I never receive any funny virals from anyone - Do you?” Knowing as a fact that good virals spreads likes epidemics through millions and millions of inboxes, it, might have more to do with his sense of humor, than the popularity of virals.
With that said, I like Thomas as a person and admire his dedication to all his projects, not to mention all that he have done for the Danish Internet.
