Everything you ever wanted to know about fucking advertising!
Joseph Jaffe & Scott Monty of Crayon have come up with a pretty clever idea on behalf of their client ooVoo, a start up company with a group video chat product which actually has amazing video and audio quality. A series of group chats will be hosted by world famous blogger's, change agents and rock stars... So naturaly, they asked me!!! He said fucking modestly! Up to six people can chat in any one session. I'm hosting mine Sunday 10th, Tuesday 12th and Thursday 14th of February. All at 10.00 AM Mountain time. That's two hours behind East Coast Poseur time and one hour ahead of West Coast Wanker time. So get your arse signed up here My ooVoo Day, free software is here get the ooVoo software and you don't have to have a Web cam as you can just do it in audio. Plus, if you're really fucking ugly, that's a plus, right? The full list of stars, besides me is below. Bob Garfield and Steve Hall will be staging a "Cage Fight" to the death to determine who knows more about Super Bowl ads. Agency Spy and Angela Natividad, have promised to appear on my sessions topless, so you should sign up early. To thank those taking part, ooVoo is making a donation to the Frozen Pea Fund, to support the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign, in honor of blogger and cancer patient Susan Reynolds. Here are my fellow "Rock Stars."

.- Yeah... Me... Live!!!
A) I offer free Photoshop makeovers for people I admire
B) I now have what appears to be a viable alternative to a scarecrow for my vegetable garden

Frankly, as I have the perfect face for radio, I'll decline the Webcam side of things but do my best to sign up for the catfight ... I mean, discussion.
Oh, and today's gaping void cartoon could also read "Writers" in the smaller section of the pie, and "talentless, cliche-slinging hacks" in the bigger bit.

Take my word, I am no beauty myself. If it wasn't for dimmer switches and vodka the tide wouldn't go out with me.

Well, fuck me if it isn't closed. Closed? Closed? How can it be fucking closed? What was it that little girl said so brilliantly in the VW spot some time ago? Oh yes, I know "Bollocks!"

SM... Cheeky bugger... That is a picture of me AFTER a photoshop makeover!
Pop... As my dear old mum used to say... "He's got a face only a mother could love."
That picture was taken in London when it got to 70 degrees for one day. They declared a drought emergency and started rationing water. Typical! Thank God they didn't ration the beer!

We've learned from the best...you. This is your pixilated demon spawn. I apologize in advance if the notion causes you distress or insomnia. Make sure the liquor cabinet is full. Hope that verbal ninja lifer shows up, I have something special, just for Valentine's day.

George, I'm supposedly down for Sunday morning to say hi, but the site says it's 10AM Eastern. Are you really going to be lucid at 8AM?

I'm trying to get the times sorted out... Stay tuned.

This should be interesting!

Fucking computers! They get on my tits, really they do! Close on the Web wossname seems truly fucked if you're looking at it on a Mac, but on a PC, it's fine. Now, how can I get out of my regular tasks to sign up for the catfight ... I mean, session? Hmm. I need a plan.

Pop...
You can do it... Have another drink. It won't be any fun if you're not on it.
Cheers/George

I'd go if julie was speaking.

It would be hard to ascertain what she's saying. Too busy gargling with Howard's bozac.

Oh, great idea. I’m wearing a Julie mask for my session.
