    <subtitle>A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

the thumbscrews on their respective BDA’s.</a> Let me re-emphasize a couple of
things I have beaten the shit out of for the last couple of hundred years. As I
spell out in the first chapter of my previous opus… <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1439226822/georgeeparker">“The
Ubiquitous Persuaders,”</a></em> Advertising is the second oldest profession in
the world… And we all know what the first is! The so-called management of BDA’s,
and their respective BDHC’s will sell their first born, prostitute their wives,
and take it up the arse for the chance of landing a big account. Having won it
(usually at a great expense, never to be recovered) they will then allow the
BDC to humiliate, penny pinch, and generally fuck them over… The phrase du jour
is <em>“Launching a major ROI review.”</em>
But it still means what it has always meant… Taking it up the arse. That’s why
the world’s dumbest business continues to get dumber!</p>
<p><strong>Don't fuck with creatives!!!</strong></p>

that <a href="http://gawker.com/teens-flee-facebook-citing-too-much-drama-mostly-cau-509159535">a
new study by Pew</a> (as in phew) Research has discovered that teens are
increasingly beginning to realize that Facebook is a giant wank, and so are switching
to Twitter. Not only because there are fewer parents and old farts over the age
of 20 on Zuckernozzle’s giant scam, but also because having to put together their
asinine drivel in just 140 characters, presents less of an “intellectual”
challenge. Anyway, neither has a <em>“Porn/Quotient”</em>

<p><em>Everyone, I’m <span style="text-decoration: underline;">elated</span>

team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – <span style="text-decoration: underline;">to empower creators to make their best work
and get it in front of the audience they deserve</span> – certainly
isn’t changing. </em><em>So <span style="text-decoration: underline;">what’s
new?</span> Simply, Tumblr gets better faster. The work ahead of us remains the
same – and we still have a long way to go! – But with more resources to draw
from. </em><em>Yahoo is the
original Internet Company, and Marissa and her team <span style="text-decoration: underline;">share our dream to make
the Internet the ultimate creative canvas.</span> I couldn’t be more excited to
have her help. We also share a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">vision</span> for Tumblr’s business that doesn’t
compromise <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the community</span> we love. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Plus both our logos end
with punctuation! </span></em><em>As always,
everything that Tumblr is, we owe to this <span style="text-decoration: underline;">unbelievable community</span>. We
won’t let you down.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Fuck yeah, David</strong>.</em></p>
<p><em>Sorry gotta go… The banks in Zurich close in thirty minutes. Do you have
any fucking idea how much $350 million cash weighs?  </em>OK, I added the last
bit, the martinis made me do it. But, anyway you look at it, he's still a wanker!</p>

ambassador to Russia, Polad BulbulogluNozzle, disclosed that President AliyevNozzle

its business out of a virtual pub in Dublin. One of its Irish affiliates
reported profits of $30 billion between 2009 and 2012, but because it did
not technically belong to any country, it paid no taxes to any government.
Another paid a tax rate of 0.05 percent in 2011 on $22 billion in
earnings, which is just a tad under the U.S. corporate tax rate is
35 percent! Isn’t fucking capitalism great? Deep throats inform me that <em>“The Irish Caper”</em> was designed by <em>“The Poisoned Dwarf”</em> working as an
off-the-books consultant from his Gramercy Park Love Nest. If WPP can fuck the
