    I hope advertising is the first thing to go after the revolution. Specifically, the commercials for the Hovaround where the old lady gets up the side of the Grand Canyon on her old person's scooter and then shouts into it so it echoes:


    HOVAROUND

    HOVAROUND

    HOVAROUND


    It makes me lose my damn mind.

    Oh my God, we're still living in Mad Men. That will be the twist ending to the whole show.

    So the surge in brown faces in advertising in the last month was just a coincidence?

    Donny Deutsch made bazillions. And probably fucked in the office regularly pre cell phone camera. That's all you need to know about the rigors of advertising. You either have the magic touch, pun intended, or you don't.

    If there were more blacks in advertising the cubicle sex videos would be a lot better.

    Apparently, according to the above quote, if you play table tennis and get high for four years you'll still end up an account executive somewhere as long as you're a white guy, so you totally shouldn't worry about it.

    I agree that diversity is important, especially in advertising. However, did he just say that any dumb, uneducated fool could succeed in advertising and that is why Whites dominate the field? Yet the article is about minorities entering the field...so is he saying minorities are dumb and uneducated too? Or that the field should only be opened to dumb, uneducated minorities?

    Well, there's one ad agency that employs three fewer white folk after the Turfucken massacre.

    Can anyone advise me of the proper manner in which to make holiday gifts to the editors and contributors to Gawker?


    Is it appropriate for me to make a cash payment to the managing editor for him to distribute as he sees fit to the other editors and contributors? Or should I make individual gifts myself.


    (I also plan to send individual holiday gift packages from Jo Malone to each of the female editors and contributors and gift certificates from the Marc Jacobs Store to each of the male editors and contributors---because just giving cash gifts at the holidays is so trashy!!)

    @Iceland_Spar: *ahem* I was here first! (commenting about this, that is) I think it only fair that the money come to MY house for delivery or be split 60/40 for us to distribute.


    (60% for me)
