Angry Advertising Aggressors Attack Adrants

bknd_glass_150_not_trans.gif

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in beating back the throngs of those who have been scorned on these pages, we are running on crutches with old, outdated equipment left over from the Draft/FCB carnage – monitors the size of a rear projection TV but with screens the size of a TV in the fifties and laptops only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.

A landmark study found that Catholic nuns who wrote sparse, simple autobiographies in their early twenties, when they entered the convent in the 1930s, were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease roughly six decades later, with about 80 percent of the low-complexity writers eventually developing the disease compared to only 10 percent of those whose youthful essays were dense with ideas

Psychologists did not coin emotional intelligence until 1990, and Goleman’s book did not popularize it until 1995, so people raised between 1945 and 1975 grew up with no shared vocabulary for feelings, many still improvising one from watching, guessing, and going quiet when intimacy calls for words.
