Alcohol appears to trigger violent behaviour in people who have a particular overactive gene.

The MAOA gene produces an enzyme that breaks down brain chemicals involved with mood.

When alcohol is mixed with high levels of the enzyme it can create a ‘dangerous cocktail’, according to new research.

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.

the greatest CV in the world is no hoax.

months ago, hatim sent me the pdf file which has been making new rounds in a forwarded email. apparently, one of me good buddies who was attached with a headhunting company met the stunning and ravishing ms. hong herself.

if you haven’t read it before, the 5-page CV includes gems such as:

the only person in Asia to create a desk organiser for consolidating & streamlining workflow documents for followup/action

the person who started the phrase ‘Only shortlisted candidates will be notified’ in recruitment advertisements’.

have a hereditary hourglass figure

am exceptionally stunning and ravishing in person

super beh tahan. hahahaha.
