Video: Daniel Eric Gold Talks About Nothing But Nets
October 2, 2009 by Tom
ABC has posted a short video of Daniel Eric Gold explaining a little about the REAL UN program “Nothing But Nets” that is tied into the Ugly Betty October 9 season premiere. (Sorry, non-US readers. I wish ABC didn’t restrict their YouTube postings, but they do).
As Gold explains, Nothing But Nets is a UN program where people can donate money, which is then used to buy mosquito nets for people in countries that are prone to malaria.
You can find out more about the program at its web site.
Gold also gives away a mini-spoiler (at least to me). Betty’s tie-in between the fashion world of Mode and the Nothing but Nets program is that the models are wearing clothes made of mosquito nets. That’s pretty cool.
As we’ve seen, the photo shoot goes awry, after all, this is Ugly Betty.
Gold does mention that it is an honor to be able to shoot at the UN, very few shows have been allowed to do that. It helps that Ugly Betty is promoting one of the UN’s initiatives. So, in a way it’s cross-promotion and product placement, on a slightly higher level than the Cherry 7-up thing in episode 3.22, In The Stars. 
Nothing But Nets is a program everyone can get behind, and I hope donations increase as a result of the show!
OMG did you heard ? Ugly Betty returns only on October 16th, not in the 9th anymore :’(
OMG kE2o, I just found out. it’s TERRIBLE! Ughhh… but did anyone see the new episode of Mode After Hours? haha. It seems like there is an all out war with them and the security guards!
