    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.

    RED BULL

    RED BULL

    RED BULL ON GAWKER

    RED BULL

    Red... heats the blood...

    Bull... SEX. SEX RED BULL SEX GAWKER

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

    Well, if I've learned one thing from crowd-sourcing it's that everything it accomplishes is of unimpeachable quality. #advertising

    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.

    Off-topic, but I'm choosing this post to say that you know what, HamNo has been doling out the Gawker-brand goodstuff for quite a while now -- since I don't know exactly when, really -- and I think today's a good day to point out what a worthy job he's been doing.

    I promise I'm just a schmo from the distant provinces -- beyond even Far Rockaway -- and I've got no logs to roll here. I guess I just stumbled across an online photo of a former Gawkerite recently and thought to myself, kind of amazed, "Wow...that really was a long time ago."

    Things to do tomorrow:
    *Eat fragrant shepherd's goat cheese made in Bulgaria.
    *Write an essay outlining the differences and similarities between Sofia Coppola and Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.
    *Calculate whether the odds of Americans confusing Bucharest with Budapest are greater than the odds of them confusing Belgium with Bulgaria.

    Yeah Gawker, stick it to those Wall Street fatcats!

    I'm sure it must've been the people at the top of the pile that got fired, right? Not those just-out-of-college types. Certainly they'd never let go of the people at the BOTTOM of the ladder.

    So use that righteous anger and demand that eleven million back!

    @AndPreciousLittleofThat: Because educated college people on unemployment deserve extra special money more than REGULAR people on unemployment, right?! Pretty sure most of us understand who this money is going to - it's still bullshit.
