Yesterday, it seems, the ad industry had had enough of our uncontrollable whining, bitching and kvetching and attacked the depths of our IT department bringing our publishing operation to a halt. But, by the end of the day, we had beaten them back with some blow up Donny Deutsch dolls and a rolled up buff shot poster of Alex Bogusky we had on our walls until that Strawberry Frog kicked his ass off. While we were successful in beating back the throngs of those who have been scorned on these pages, we are running on crutches with old, outdated equipment left over from the Draft/FCB carnage – monitors the size of a rear projection TV but with screens the size of a TV in the fifties and laptops only one of those giant McDonald’s kids could fit on his lap after consuming a 32 ounce Coke, two large fries, three Big Mac’s and several apple pies.
So, we’re back. We’re sorry for the interruption though we’re quite sure you didn’t even notice since who reads this crap anyway? Despite Jeff Jarvis’ Dell Hell, we are outfitting the office a collection of new Dell laptops which should arrive in a week or two. Hopefully we’ll be able to fend off any other angry advertising agressors.
