    Russia is a seriously fucked up place. Last year my company sent me over about once a month for almost a year to help bring a new affiliate office up to speed, and let me tell you, its like the twilight zone. Its the only place I've had to go where I honestly felt afraid for my personal safety pretty much constantly (and I've spent a lot of time in South America).

    The people and general atmosphere are terrifying in a way that is really difficult to describe. Its just a lingering sense of unreality that is so disquieting it makes your hair stand up if you really stop to think about it. Bad news. #publicrelations

    This is not a brand, it's little dusty sign that's fallen to the floor and's been kicked to a corner. RED BULL... now that's a brand.

    This has been a public service announcement from your local ad council. (What *is* a local ad council?)

    Urgh, Moutain Dew is just nasty.

    Couldn't the ad campaign be something like, "Liquid iridescent antifreeze that works like cocaine, but without the whoring and nosebleeds, maybe...we're actually not sure what this nuclear waste of a lighter-fluid tasting product is made of, so drink responsibly, or never." #advertising

    ...all in the name of connecting the consumer public with the brand image interactivity category extension dialogue Twitter Facebook engagement crowd-sourcing.

    This is the greatest single sentence fragment about modern advertisting strategy.

    In reply to Scandal: Bill Before Congress Is Long, Complicated
    Well, to be fair, its not so much that the bill itself is so long, its that its very long, remakes a huge portion of the economy in itself and apparently needs to be voted on RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW OMG THE WORLD WILL END IF WE DONT VOTE RIGHT NOW.

    Which is different than how most other bills are passed. #congress

    @Han Valen: We've been debating health care reform for decades. And the particulars of this bill for several months now. And thousands of people lose their health insurance every day. So what the fuck are you talking about? #congress

    @flossy: Maybe the reason it's taken decades is because there just isn't a good way to do it. But now that an actual bill exists, perhaps a couple more months may just be worthwhile for everyone to, you know, READ the thing and talk about what it will and will not specifically do. The only reason to rush at this point is if there's something to hide.

    If its so wonderful, then it'll still be wonderful in a month, and at least we'll all know exactly what's in there. #congress

    Actually, it's totally unsurprising to me that the Republicans can't read. Literacy...not for dummies.
