DENIAL

16:19 Nov 12 2009
Times Read: 815


After meeting with reps from the printing industry, I am convinced that the dinosaurs were in complete denial at the end of the Cretaceous.



Complete and utter denial.



There is no way I can convince my clients to increase their print advertising efforts next year. Everything is going paperless. We see it in the decline of newspaper subscriptions, the reduction of direct mail, explosive demand for the Kindle, the increased reliance on email, and the constant demand for devices with ubiquitous web access.



Yes, I know that printed ads have their place in advertising, but it's an ever diminishing role. And it's not just because of the economy. The times they are a-changing.



And quickly, too.



I'm sure the dinosaurs understood this... eventually...

Yeah, they tried to tell me that advertising on the internet is actually WORSE for the environment.

*angry face*



Denial, I tell you.

I think the dinosaurs understood it right before certain doom.



Sometimes though you just have to stop and smell the paper. It's a very unique smell.

Advertising on the internet is worse for the environment?



Only if you throw away your laptop every time a pop-up comes across your screen.



Of course, if you do that and you buy your laptops from me, you'll be my favorite. :)

When the grid crashes, anyone with an antique printer that runs on hand or foot pushing will be the one to dominate printed communication.

I used to think that, but those days are gone, my friend. If the grid crashes, it will only be temporary.

Tell your clients I can do, door knockers, and Windshield canvasing, and bills at malls ( I have people snatch those bills up like i am handing out meth.)

PEEVE

My biggest pet peeve is the asshole who feels compelled to leave his effin' BlackBerry on during a meeting, and the damned thing rings every five minutes. Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzzz!



uh, sorry... I left it on by mistake... sorry...



Uh huh. Sure you did, fucker.

Instead of "mute", just turn the fucking thing off.



You know, if you try, you can be inaccessible for 30 minutes.



The world won't end. You won't miss a single thing. Really.



Off. OFF. Right now.



And don't try to keep it on your lap as if I won't notice. I can tell when you're checking your email and FaceBook. Because when you do this, you're not paying attention to me. Besides, no one EVER stares at their lap for that long unless they're jerking off.



This is a business meeting, fool.

Turn off your toys.

I wondered what that journal entry was about!



We don't have that problem, just lots of BlackBerries buzzing during presentations. It's RUDE. Rude, I tell you!

My sister had a dinner party recently to celebrate the completion of her Masters. Every couple of minute someone would beep and you could see people typing under the table. After quite a few drinks my sister stands up and says, 'the next fucker to beep is dead'.



It was amusing to say the least... but yeah let's get real they aren't all waiting for important business calls or docs to be sent over they are tending to their damn farms on facebook or some other crap.



If I was giving a presentation to a group and people started beeping I think the look I would give them alone would have them jumping out of the closest window. haha



I love it when you use the word fool Thoth, Mr T makes me swoon :D

Make sure you have your staff's email numbers. As you step up to the podium or head of the table in the meeting, pause and send a text message to all of them en masse. I'll leave it to your delightfully twisted mind to come up with your own text :)

A bigger pet-peeve of mine is attending a webinar that also has a conference line call in, and not being able to hear the presentor or instructor because some dimwit on the call can't figure out how to mute his phone and is clueless as the presenter says over and over "Please mute all phones."



Or the bigger dimwit that puts his line on hold to answer another call, so everyone on the conference gets blasted with his music on hold until he returns.



It's like people have never been on a conference call before.
