So with the news on Wednesday that Dell was laying off workers around the globe, but wouldn't commit to how many, or where these poor fuckers will soon be queuing up for food stamps... I went hotfoot over to the Enfatico Web site for all the latest news... Mmmm... Wishful thinking? nothing there, apart from one blog post in the last two weeks... Never forget, these are the fuckers who head up their blog with the description that it is "a marketing dialogue." Sorry guys... There ain't no dialogue there. Interesting though, if you go to the "work" section, they've finally taken down that very tired Indian campaign and replaced it with... Fuck all.. Just a blank screen and the words... "Watch this space." No doubt it will be full of all the great work they've done for all those new clients they talked about six months ago. Yeah, Maybe! Meanwhile, did I tell you about "Enfatylitics?"
OMG... Enfatylitics... They're like the coolest thing since fucking Twitter!
Enfatylitics.... isn't that baby formula?

Enfatylitics: prophylactics against good work.

Not related to this post, I want to congratulate you, George, for the great victory yesterday by ManU in the Champions Cup (sorry I will not call it UEFA Champions League, I am old fashioned, you know?).
Although I was rooting for Inter Milan, I take my hat off to the greatest football team in the world, proven yet again yesterday, Manchester United.

I almost feel sorry for Boone. He seemed smart and sincere about what he was doing. But, he sold his soul to the WPP devil. Always a bad idea.
Well, he won't have a job back at Digitas when this is all over, that's for sure.

George,
Love the photo. I see pretty much the same woman in her car all the time, not only engrossed in cell phone gab, but applying makeup and drinking coffee simultaneously -- while changing lanes.

GI, you're claiming they've actually done work? or the enfatylitics prevent work? in which case Dell had really better rethink their strategy!

I'm down to either fraud, con-game, or performance art for how you justify an advertising company that produces no advertising.
Has anyone proposed the notion, yet, that someone over at Dell is using Enfatico to embezzle money? Or launder it?

i do have a question about that picture:
where did you get the Carla Hendra shot from? that is her, going on about perpetual beta, isn't it?

Donald Tramp - Boone is clueless, way out of his league and has never run a real agency. No expereinced manager would take hte position as they knew the proposition was f'ed up.

Andy, careful what you say about my ex wife!

Take a screen grab of that “Watch this space,” kind of your own personal Enron sign souvenir.

Donald T,
I surely would not want to incur her wrath. I shudder at the thought of the verbal abuse.

Soon "Watch this space will be replaced by "Ad space available".

After reading this post i realize that the writer of this post lost a lot because of Enfatico, i think he expressed his anger by writing this post. Have you lost your job man? I think so.
Best of luck...

Rakibul...
Don't be a wanker, read my bio... I have never worked for Enfatico... I wouldn't be caught dead working for Enfatico... Which won't be around much longer.
Cheers/George
