oh, you silly ad people

apparently two employees of BBDO Atmosphere in NYC were caught and filmed having sex in a cubicle. at 5pm.

how lax. no jobs to rush out, guys? must have been account servicing. tsk tsk.

the person who filmed and sent out the video was fired.

And how did the video get out?
I showed a couple of officemates on my phone and everyone was shocked and awed. I downloaded it to my computer and sent it on to two other co-workers and that was all the digital distribution I did and it just went viral from there. And a week later it ended up on Gawker and Mediabistro and then the word got back to me that all the creatives were sending it around. I freaked. I thought it was amazing how something could go viral and end up online so quickly when I had nothing to do with it really. I didn’t call Gawker. I didn’t e-mail anybody.

with no understanding of social media and the power of the internet, it’s little wonder boy genius got fired. must have been another suit.

a link to the video. boring stuff, really.
