How do you manage to find all these negative articles? Do you have google news alerts send you an email every time there's a new article with the word "layoff" in the article? Does your mailbox overflow? Or do you just do searches in Yahoo News or Google News every 20 minutes for the word Layoff? It just seems like all you ever post here is something with the word in it...

Every once in a while someone comes up with a really great ad. Most of the time though it seems like Darin from Bewitched thought them up.

Yeah, well it's really quite flattering to become the target of such shallow commentary.
I interpret it as a positive indicator of my effectiveness.

When you stick a pig, it squeals.
The more pigs you stick, the more squeals they produce.
After a while, you begin to notice the different tonal qualities.
And when they squeal in unison, the results are quite harmonic and almost musical.
To: Willie Green
So that's why you go around being poked with a stick?

You're drowing in metaphors here.

Good to know that metaphors predate perception.

Most of the time though it seems like Darin from Bewitched thought them up. There's a new ad campaign for some compamy (shows how bad it is right there --I have no idea what they're advertising) where somebody is in an awkward situation with someone else, then suddenly shout out, "Thank you!" while the other person turns from angry to inexplicably flattered.
Somebody thought this up, and this company approved it and paid lots of money for this crap. Somebody should be fired -- wait, a lot of somebodies should be fired.
Recent effective campaigns I've seen --Sonic Drive-in, and Sprint PCS.

Do you ever see positive articles about Thebusheconomy? If so, why do you never post them?

You must be a real riot at parties.The old lampshade on the head routine isn't my idea of a party.
I prefer more mellow gatherings where I can dance with the women.
To: stands2reason
then suddenly shout out, "Thank you!" Oh I hate that commercial. Yes, I agree. One of the bad ones.
