Tried to catch you on oovoo this morning but it took 40 minutes to get the software up & running and then it was over or there is something I missed about turning it on. Will continue trying...software challenged

Hell of good time in the session, George.
An excellent way for a small agency chump such as myself to spend a Sunday, listening to the big dogs barking about the industry. Much enjoyed.
Thanks for this, and if you're ever in Baltimore, first round's on me.
Posted by: Matt McDermott | February 10, 2008 at 11:14 AM
It was fab. In fact I enjoyed it!
Posted by: The Cartoonist | February 10, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Great session, and even though the Mac version was a beta it worked perfectly. Thanks!

Enjoyed the ooVoo session today George. Next time, I promise I will be more prepared, but I signed up for the session after seeing your post this morning & I didn't want you to feel lonely!
Posted by: Jane Sample | February 10, 2008 at 12:15 PM
Thanks to all... It was fun. Jane should get her arse in gear and join the "topless" session on Thursday. That was funny with all the dogs and cats... Fucking hilarious. I bet no one else has a "Dog & Pony" show. Well we'll do pony's next time.
Sean, you can come in on a later session... Oh, if any of you want to do another session... Talk to Scott on a oovoo chat feed and he will arange it. At the moment the system only alows one session... To avoid spam, but Scott can oeveride it... He's listed in your oovoo contact list.
Matt... ONE beer doesn't do it!
Brent & Ralf... Keep the cats under control.
Cheers/George

George ... it might be just be a little bit hard for me to pull of the topless, web conference in the middle of the workday, in our modern, open concept office. Talk about outing myself.
Posted by: Jane Sample | February 10, 2008 at 01:12 PM
I can't get the app to launch, it tells me I need a different version of Java. I'll head over to Starbucks and see if I can't sort it out before Tuesday.
Posted by: Auntie Christ | February 10, 2008 at 02:44 PM
Auntie... Ha Ha fucking funny... Actually Starbucks should get into the softwear biz... Their quality is going down faster than their prices are going up! Get it fix so we can ooVoo!!!
Cheers/George

Cheers/George
Posted by: George Parker | February 10, 2008 at 08:07 PM
Why can't I fucking well sign up? You blocking me or something Parker?
Posted by: The Kaiser | February 11, 2008 at 06:12 AM
I still can't sign up for Thursday's topless session; looks like Scott doesn't want me there! :-)
Posted by: The Cartoonist | February 11, 2008 at 06:26 AM
Ralf I'll email Scott and get you in... Kaiser... What the fuck is wrong with you. Are you fucked up again... Email this guy and tell him you're a douchenozzle and need help...
scott@crayonville.com
I'll also email him.
Would you like me to change your fucking nappies while I'm at it?
Cheers/George

Someone should shut your session, this blog and all of you people down. The hate and anger you spew is simply disgusting. You constantly bash good people. If you have nothing good to say about people or agencies then you should leave the business. The rest of us are making a better world and wading through your vitriole is getting old.
Posted by: Sheryl White | February 11, 2008 at 07:28 AM
Sheryl - George is my dad.
Posted by: The Kaiser | February 11, 2008 at 07:30 AM
Sheryl's a riot. Please say she's part of Topless Thursday, Geo.
I've got a thing for angry, naked women.
Posted by: Matt McDermott | February 11, 2008 at 07:32 AM
Fabulous! Now who on Earth is Sheryl?
Posted by: The Cartoonist | February 11, 2008 at 07:59 AM
Sheryl is Howard Draft's mother. She's even uglier than he is... Which is hard to pull off. Howard was born after an all night "Sexy Rumble!" The ad biz has never been the same since... Oh, and Sheryl... Go fuck yourself!
Cheers/George
Posted by: George Parker | February 11, 2008 at 08:12 AM
I'm just pissed that she fucked up my steptoe gag. OK, it wasn't great - but still.
Posted by: The Kaiser | February 11, 2008 at 08:33 AM
"The rest of us are making a better world"
Through advertising really?
Posted by: Jane Sample | February 11, 2008 at 09:37 AM
If you don't like horror movies, why watch them? If you don't like a certain form of music, why listen? If you don't like a certain food, why eat it? If you don't like Adscam, why read it? It seems we are striking a nerve (or 50), although you are the first of the naysayers who can put some semblance of a paragraph together. We might just be moving up the food chain. Our mission is to create a groundswell of truth that will eventually do to people like you, what you have done to us - while amusing ourselves in a thousand tasteless ways. How would you like to be drummed out of business by greedy persons who don't know what they are doing and who have ruined what was once a lucrative field? A good freelancer in my area of expertise made $45+ an hour in 1999, now many make only $35. If the agency is getting $175 per hour studio time that is an 80 - 20 split. The smarmiest pimp gives at least 70 - 30. If I'm gonna "put out" I get paid or I take my services to huggy bear. And you get left with all the cowardly nit-wits.

We are the brain termites voraciously gnawing away at the house of cards of your own construction.
Posted by: Studio Maven | February 11, 2008 at 10:26 AM
As I said, you can leave the business. There are plenty of people willing to make $35 an hour without resorting to badmouthing the dead to get there. AntiChrist/Dale talentless Hazelton is found out, and I know who Nom de Blogg is and the rest of you purveyors of garbage will be outed as well.
Posted by: Sheryl White | February 11, 2008 at 10:39 AM
First of all, being that I left on my own volition, there is nothing anyone can do to me because I signed absolutely nothing. I do not care if I am "outed", the only reason I use a pseudonym because this isn't about me (I already over blog). It is about principle. I got a position that pays me $20,000 more than I made and have given 3 of my friends good freelance at $50 per hour. In a PRIVATELY held agency that is leaner and smarter than you could ever hope to be. You will notice that BDAs run by ignoramuses are dying a slow, protracted death. We are actually humanists in that we are just trying to put you out of our misery ASAP. It would be extremely stupid to mess with our friends because the resultant publicity would cause a thousand more people to visit here, perpetuating what you despise. But then again, I don't recall anyone accusing your crowd of brainpower. Last time I checked this was a democracy (albeit one holding on by a thread) and freedom of speech however tasteless rules the day. Mess with anyone and I promise that the entire world will know of the nepotism and looming litigation that lurks under the false veneer that is your employer. I will personally contact every periodical I can think of, and I am sure a classy venue like Page 6 will eat this up.
PS You can ban me from IPG, I guess, but I would melt my dead mother's jewelry before I work there again.

As previously stated, I never met the woman and MY comments weren't directed towards her. What Scums Around Goes Around alludes to the precarious financial position you fine folks are in, which is just desserts for the way many people I know were treated.
Posted by: Studio Maven | February 11, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Studio, who knew today was going to be the day you got to tear someone a new one? Nice show.
I suppose this is the kind of AdScam Rumble Geo. alluded to last week.
Threats! Mystery! McCarthy-style outings!
Feckin' love it!

There will be blood.

Wow, what a great movie this! Guys, you're not seriously trying to get into a discussion with this troll 'Sheryl', are you?
Posted by: The Cartoonist | February 11, 2008 at 11:50 AM
"I've abandoned my career!!!!!"
Posted by: Stokefactory | February 11, 2008 at 11:56 AM
I'm trying to sit this thread out, but someone wants to hand A.C. a slice of "just dessert." I'll hold my opinions when Al Qaeda rescinds the first amendment, barring them, then Rudy Giuliani or George Parker. Maven can cover me with a volley of fire until then.
Posted by: Auntie Christ | February 11, 2008 at 12:15 PM
Anyone know the contact info for "The Teaneck Titilator" (no, that's not a professional wrestler). We're gonna take this to the top.
Just trying to shake off the cobwebs from last nights "festivities", baked beans, hot dogs and bourbon. I am about to implode like a fluorescent light bulb.
Posted by: Studio Maven | February 11, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Is there still time to get sheryl and studio maven on ooVoo a'la steve and bob?

This is even better than the Garfield-Hall fight over at Saint Nicholas arena.
Speaking of St.NIck's (which I admit only I was), there was a fight in the late 50s named Yama Bahama who did quite well despite never winning a championship.
It was said that he came out of Nassau in The Bahamas and learned boxing by fighting in what the WWF would later call Royal Rumbles. 10 fighters in the ring and the last one standing won.
Closest thing I have seen to that are these blogs when the folks get going.
I would kind of like to see Studio Maven versus Auntie Christ myself.
George would be a good referee but he looks too much like Central Casting's idea of cut man.
Posted by: Tom Messner | February 11, 2008 at 12:39 PM
George Parker, the Michael Buffer of the blog world.
Posted by: Stokefactory | February 11, 2008 at 12:52 PM
George looks like he's boxed a few rounds himself.
Posted by: sean | February 11, 2008 at 02:19 PM
I never fight the ones I love. I realize I have a "blown head gasket" but my attentions are honorable.

Posted by: Studio Maven | February 11, 2008 at 02:38 PM
HA HA this has been the best laugh. I can't wait to be "outed" as a "rest of you purveyors of garbage"
Posted by: Jane Sample | February 11, 2008 at 02:59 PM
Tom... I remember Yama Bahama even though I was still a student in England, but he was a bit of a folk hero, even there. I must say, I enjoy how these threads wander about. Good that we don't take ourselves seriously... Not counting Sheryl and WD 40.
Cheers/George
Posted by: George Parker | February 11, 2008 at 03:39 PM
It’s not boxing, nope. It’s waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than boxing.
Btw, if nobody else wants to, can I be Paulie?
Just askin.
Posted by: bg | February 11, 2008 at 04:44 PM
Yama Bahama.
He must be an example of cultural sharing and crossing among the English-speaking peoples.
Orwell, whom you quote so pointedly here, was oddly much more popular in the U.S. than the UK. In fact, until my last year of high school, I thought he was an American.
Sorell, a cultural cross to bear, seems to have failed at blogging. I went to his Davos blog and thought I would do some dancing around and was only one of two commenters.
Posted by: Tom Messner | February 12, 2008 at 08:37 AM
I would, but I have St. Valentine's leave at home where I'll be banging the missus all day while the kids play on the Wii downstairs.
Posted by: FishNChimps | February 12, 2008 at 01:33 PM
Chimp... Shame on you... Well, maybe not... At least you'll be banging the missus and not that tarty Orangutan down the road, the one I've been hearing rumours about!!!
Tom... Why the Poisoned Dwarf would bother with a fucking blog is beyond me... Surely, as David Oglivy said to me many, many years ago when I broached the sordid subject of money... "Dear Boy, I never discuss money, I have people who work for me who discuss money!" You would think the Poisoned Dwarf would have a bunch of trolls in a deep dark cave somewhere blogging away like fuck... And if I worked for WPP, I'd be commenting like shit, saying how fucking insightful his posts were... I mean c'mon, sucking up to the boss isn't fucking brain surgery!
Cheers/George
