Gus the Polar Bear

My name is Gus Hartwell Polar Bear and this is my confession.....

As you all know, if you are reading this, I am dead.  It will be reported that I was "put down" by the vet staff (or as I would call them, my captors), but that is untrue.  The truth is....the truth is that I did it.  There was no more I could take.  The torture, the captivity, the gawking.

I started my life in captivity in Toledo, Ohio (a lovely little hell hole of what you people call a "zoo").  From there I was sold to the highest bidder to be a puppet.  I was unloaded in the dead of night after a drugging and prodding to "inspect me".  Had those vets put those needles down I would have torn them limb from limb.  I was placed in a white room with bright lights and was violated in ways that would make you sick.  They played with my junk, my ass, and my mouth.  Sick.  Just sick people.   This occur regularly for the next 27 years.

I was given not one, but two arranged marriages.  Let me tell you, those were two of the most disgusting polar hags to have ever graced the earth.  But I had no choice....I was kept in a "habitat" with them both encouraged to procreate.  Spectators would watch, hoping to see my bang one of them.  And I couldn't perform, they were both so gross.  They even once...........they even once tried to hold me down....both of them.  It was horrible.  It was looked at as "playing", it was not play...it was torture.

Did you see my pen....my slave pen?  It was designed to be like the arctic.......there was no ice.  It resembled Africa more than an ice laden land of seals (what I wouldn't give to get into that sea lion pen and eat every single one of those little fuckers).  I had a cold bit of water to cool off, but it was terrible.  I often wanted to drown myself in front of a flock of school children.  The only thing that kept me going....revenge.  The thought that someone would slip up or jump the wall to come pet me so I could rip off their limbs.  Be so much tastier than than 3 day old salmon.  I hate salmon.

So one day I stopped eating. My own hunger strike.  My revolt against my life of slavery.  Just know that if you loved me, I hated you.  You terrible, terrible humans.

Gus Out.

Save the Pandas

Let's get this out in the open.  I love Pandas.  They sit around all day eating bamboo, climbing trees, rolling around........pretty much enjoying life.  I dig that.  If everyone in this world were more like a panda it would be a friendlier, fuzzier place.  But alas, we humans do not resemble the Giant Panda.  Therefore, perhaps, we need Giant Pandas to remind us of how simple life can be.   (OK, I'm only speaking for myself here, but Pandas are simply a cool animal that I enjoy going to the zoo and watching for an hour - or however long they let me stand at the Panda reserve) So that is why this news report is so very upsetting to me: http://rockcenter.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/21/16964074-are-giant-pandas-worth-saving?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=1 The idea that we need to be putting fewer resources into the preservation of the panda species.   I have some arguments here: 1. What would you rather save?  A lizard?  Liz...

What Is the World Coming To?

I have been working on a huge project at work.  I could tell you about it, but I will wait until the ink is on the page before doing so. My point here is that I have been able to be creative with how I plan a huge event.  Rather satisfying to create a concept and work it through.   You know, better than cubicle living. I hung out at an ad agency last night.  I wish my company had beer taps, free food, a pool table, and bean bag chairs.  No really......that was amazing.  Was also able to have an hour long strategy session around my event - while drinking free beer.  Yeah, so that didn't suck.  At all.  In the least.  In any capacity.  Whatsoever.  I may ask if they need an intern. Bought tickets to a Brian Fallon concert.  He is the lead singer for The Gaslight Anthem.  It is in the middle of New Jersey.  I have no clue how I will get there, but I will manage.  I mean, how tough could it possibly be? ...

Follow Up Emails - Marketing Rewards Program

A few years back I was working on a customer loyalty program.  Frankly, the idea and intentions were excellent, but what we quickly realized was that we put in place WAY too many steps for a person to join the program.  We lacked the technology to have a one step enrollment process.  You live and you learn with stuff like that.   Anyhow, the process and the amount copy I wrote for follow up emails made me think....what if a company actually wrote what they wanted to say to customers who weren't visiting the store or utilizing their rewards card.   I created Gorilla Guns.  Welcome E-Mail Thank you for signing up with the Gorilla Guns Weapons Rewards card!  We are thrilled you have selected Gorilla for all of your weapons, ammo, and gadget needs.  Remember, your rewards card entitles you earn free ammo for every third gun you purchase.  We thank you for choosing Gorilla and look forward to putting our sites on you!
