The Prisoner
Aug. 31st, 2006 10:09 pmMore fallout from the vulture lawyer ads: A group of concerned citizens is taking out an ad in Sunday's paper (providing us with more revenue than the offending ads did) calling for a boycott of us. Maybe we're all a terribly arrogant bunch, but nobody thinks such a boycott, if it comes together, will do any good.
Message for you, folks - when you have never patronized a business, calling to tell them that you'll never do business there again if they continue to advertise in a certain publication won't impress anybody.
Having said that, though ... Gad, what a cockup this was. Our advertising VP sounded like a chimpanzee when he tried to defend the decision to run the ads. The podcast (all three hours of it) of a local radio call-in show is at http://www.wlap.com/cc-common/podcast.html. ; I think the nonsense is in hour 2.
Anyway, moving on.
I discussed this whole mess with my immediate supervisor today, and it was cathartic for both of us. She complimented me, or at least commented positively, on my ability to go from model employee to full-on jackass and back when necessary, and without any elapsed time between modes.
Some asshattery for your further listening pleasure - Pat Buchanan his own darn self is going to be on Coast to Coast AM tonight. With any luck, he'll go into a good rant and we'll hear once again how much better his speeches sound in the original German.
