    I actually started a new branding media company called "Dittany of Crete" wherein we revolutionize content by engaging consumers in positive product dialog through increased utility and necessitation. In short, we're confident that people will buy products that they want or need, especially if these products are well made.

    Riding down the subway without pants on is basically the height of theater. It really shows that improv comedy is its own art form, which can be used to challenge people's preconceptions, to force them to think in new ways, to illuminate aspects of the human condition. It takes a rare, special kind of genius to come up with the idea of having some people ride the subway while not wearing pants, and every time I think of this, I thank god that we've got Charlie Todd in our world--someone who can really push the boundaries and limitations of aesthetics and meaning, who can provide such a mirror to our natures.


    Why would anyone ever do any kind of art, ever again? They are riding the subway without pants on. What more is there to say? What more is there to do? Charlie Todd and Improv Everywhere are the apotheosis of modern performance. Everyone else needs to just go home, because they've got nothing to add to the form.


    We've reached the end of an era, surmounted a peak, and it was Charlie Todd not wearing pants while on the subway that got us there.

    @katastic: Commitment to a joke is a little secret that I learned from a guy named Charlie Todd.

    Mm. Dandelions, Campfire...why are all the new ad agencies trying to be flighty, flirty hippie love-in fests?


    Why not cash in on Mad Men?


    "At Stucker, Smith and Smith we don't tolerate losers. We're here to win. To pull in the consumer and make them realize that they need the product. We drink martinis at 8 am. At noon, a highball. At two, another martini. Gin. So you'll be mean and ready for the pitch meeting. Also, we're changing your name. Has to start with the same letter. Has to be cool. You have to come up with your name.


    And if you can't look incredibly stunning in either a red dress or a suit, you'll be deemed 'the gay one' or 'the one we won't sleep with.'"


    ...


    yeah, ok. I just need to justify drinking at 8 am.

    I was really hoping that they'd go for "bacterial marketing."
