OK, the economy is fucked... The ad biz is double fucked... But wait, there's more... This just out from Somalia, where local drug dealers disguised as pirates suddenly got smarter and instead of demanding silly sums like $10K for the ransom on hijacked ships, they have taken a giant fucking page from Dr. Evil, and are now asking $25 million. Because, they think it's a bargain. Why? because in the words of their SpokesHack... Yes, even pirates have PR people now..."What we want from this ship is only 25 million dollars because we always charge according to the quality of the ship and the value of the product." Hey, I'm into that. It's the traditional BDA business model... Charge these fuckers whatever you can get away with. But... That aint going to last for much longer!
OOOh... Can we buy you for a gazzilion dollars... Please?
