Margin of Error
What happens when you combine the sleazy course pictures (without the sleazy course) with the haunting/cyberpunk music without the cyberpunk?
No explanation for the WordPress addition of a Russian (not Mongolian) caption. (“Musical interlude.”)
Why Bredemarket Reshares Old Content On Its Socials
Resharing old content can have surprising beneficial consequences.
It’s safe to assume that even though you are reading this Bredemarket blog post, you haven’t read all 2,000 posts I’ve written since 2020.
OK. I admit I had some help.
Regardless, there’s a lot of old valuable content in the Bredemarket archives, so I like to share it with new audiences via my social channels.
Especially the “deep cuts” that hardly anyone has seen.
But I’m not the only person that revives old things.
From Art to Al
In case you didn’t know this, Merv Griffin developed a game show called Jeopardy that was incredibly successful during its 11 year run on NBC from 1964 to 1975. Its host, Art Fleming, was permanently linked to the show as a result.
While an 11 year run is respectable, Merv wanted more. He tried to bring the show back a couple of times, each with host Art Fleming, but was unsuccessful.
Enter an up and coming song parodist named Weird Al Yankovic.
Weird Al decided to parody a popular Greg Kihn Band song that happened to be called “Jeopardy.” Yankovic’s parody was entitled “I Lost on Jeopardy,” and the music video was based on the old NBC version and featured Art Fleming himself, as well as Don Pardo.
As I previously noted, I’m prohibited from embedding this video in this blog post. You can find it here.
You won’t believe what happened next
The video was popular, and there are two different versions of the aftermath.
- Some say that the video’s success gave Merv the push he needed to sell a new syndicated version of Jeopardy. Rather than Fleming, this edition included a Canadian host named Alex Trebek. I understand the revival did fairly well.
- Others say that Merv had already sold the Trebek version of the show, so the video helped to publicize a show that was already in the works.
So is there a chance that my resharing of an old 2021 Bredemarket blog post will result in a 2026 wave of adulation? Maybe. It can’t hurt.
Correction: I Have the Timeframe For The New Jersey Evidentiary Hearing
“It is ORDERED, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 43:6A-13, that former Appellate Division Chief Judge Carmen Messano, retired on pension and having given consent, is hereby recalled by the Supreme Court for temporary service within the judicial system other than the Supreme Court effective September 1, 2026 through March 1, 2027, or until further Order, to serve as a Special Adjudicator in the matter of State v. French G. Lee (A-6-2025) (090662), as set forth in the Court’s Order of June 29, 2026.”
Additional Details On State (of New Jersey) v. French Lee
A follow up to my July 16 post “Is Fingerprint Evidence ‘Fryed’ in New Jersey?”
- Why was fingerprint evidence challenged?
- How will the evidentiary hearing be conducted?
- Who will conduct it?
- Can Carl Lewis run?
Why?
Significantly, the defense cited two recent reports that cast doubt on the old notion that fingerprint match determinations are infallible.
“Before trial, the defense moved to bar fingerprint testimony, relying heavily on two major scientific critiques: Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward (NAS Report) (2009) and Forensic Science in Criminal Courts: Ensuring Scientific Validity of Feature-Comparison Methods (PCAST Report) (2016). The trial court denied the motion without conducting an evidentiary hearing. Defendant was convicted.”
How?
Once the higher court determined that fingerprint evidence requires review, it set up the mechanism for that review.
“Rather than immediately reversing the convictions, the Court:
“Appointed a Special Adjudicator(Hon. Carmen Messano, retired Chief Judge of the Appellate Division) to conduct a plenary hearing and develop a full record.
“Directed the adjudicator to determine:
“whether the fingerprint evidence satisfies State v. Olenowski (Olenowski I), 253 N.J. 133 (2023);
“whether limitations/guardrailsshould govern fingerprint testimony; and
“if so, what those guardrails should be—explicitly including potential revised model jury charges.”
No idea when this hearing will take place.
Who?
Ballotpedia has an entry for retired judge Carmen Messano.
“Carmen Messano was a judge for Part E of the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division. He assumed office on November 20, 2006. He left office on May 23, 2023.”
And Messano has at least one celebrity case to his name.
“Carl Lewis Cannot Run
“On Monday May 2, 2011, three appellate judges Philip Carchman, Ronald Graves and Carmen Messano upheld New Jersey Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State Kim Guadagno’s decision to remove nine-time Olympic gold medalist and former New Jersey State Senate candidate Carl Lewis from the 2011 ballot because he failed to show he could meet the four-year New Jersey residency requirement. This ruling came after Lewis filed a federal complaint against Guadagno, claiming her initial decision, which found him ineligible, was in error.”
But Messano has been busy in retirement.
“The Supreme Court has appointed a retired chief judge of the Appellate Division to chair the panel that investigates allegations of unethical conduct against judges, Chief Justice Stuart Rabner announced today.
“Effective Sept. 1, Judge Carmen Messano succeeds retired Justice Virginia A. Long as head of the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct (ACJC).”
But his future work will focus on fingerprints and ACE-V.
Which raises the question of whether this case will move to the feds if the state denies fingerprint evidence. But I’m not sure if there’s a federal law that applies to this case, which involves two September 2018 burglaries of a Moorestown, New Jersey restaurant.
For Fans of Uzbek-Mongolian Relations
Even though Bredemarket primarily operates in the United States, world awareness doesn’t hurt.
In my quest for world awareness, I have mentioned both Uzbekistan and Mongolia in past separate posts.
Time to double down.
“President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev arrived in Mongolia on June 24 [2025] for a historic state visit at the invitation of President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh. This marks the first official visit by an Uzbek head of state to Mongolia, signaling a significant step forward in bilateral relations.”
Remember that both countries’ histories are intertwined with the Soviet Union. Uzbekistan was previously part of the USSR, and Mongolia became independent of China and allied with the USSR in the 1920s. Today, both countries maintain a careful balancing act regarding the Russia-Ukraine war.

Attracting the Mongolian Audience
According to WordPress, no one from Mongolia has EVER visited the Bredemarket website.
In reality it doesn’t matter, since I primarily do business with United States companies, and tens of thousands of people from the U.S. visit Bredemarket.
But I can’t achieve my goal of total world domination until I conquer Mongolia.
A lofty aspiration. Mongolia isn’t into being conquered.
So I have to have a…customer focus. Among other things, this means I have to address them in the official Khalkha dialect.

Maybe These Artificial Luxuries Can Only Compensate (Taking Stefan Gladbach Seriously)
Product marketer Stefan Gladbach (the guy who masterminded the “A PMM Christmas” video) has dispensed some sage advice on how to be a millionaire.
Here’s the “too long; didn’t watch” version.
- Be deceptive about wealth.
- Sell garbage.
- Lose morals.
But because I am a product marketing expert (albeit in biometrics, not monetization), I have improved on Gladbach’s inferior suggestions.
Rather than arranging for Robin Leach-inspired “rich and famous” Ferrari/Rolex photo shoots (Stefan’s first point) and laboriously writing up an expensive course (his second point), I assigned the tasks to AI. This offers the added benefit of satisfying Stefan’s third point, losing all morals.
So here is my course, thanks to Google Gemini. But don’t tell anyone that.
