Random Wednesday thoughts.
Even though they’re one of the most fun clients I’ve ever had, I’m glad I wasn’t handling the Great Ice Pop Debacle for Snapple yesterday. (Although they’ll get great press out of it.)
Michael Scanlon is not a smart publicist.
Colin has interesting thoughts on prostitution as a form of marketing. I’m sure we’ll see street women working CES next year.
Anyone want to guess on how long it’ll take for a post-death (with death being an operative word, anyway) album?
And on a personal note, why can we send men into space, put microchips onto the head of a pin, and into the head of a cat, yet we still can’t figure out ways to make the weather somewhat decent so I could sneak off and do my AIF Levels 5 and 6? I mean, seriously. I don’t ask for much.

Street women working CES next year? Why wait? Anyone who went to CES, Comdex, Networld + Interop in the 90′s found many a woman “working” the booths in short skirts, low cut blouses, bikinis and more. Can’t remeber what companies attended but I have clear memories of the women “working”. |

Actually, I remember a story from Comdex 1999, I think, where there weren’t enough “booth babes,” and the contracting company used “ladies of the night…” who would then attempt to make some, how shall we say… “extra money,” off the conference attendees. Huge story about it when a whole bunch of Microsoft execs got approached for… how shall we say… downloading and uploading? |
