If you’ve been looking for an excuse to do morally questionable things, we have a pretty flimsy one for you. See over at BEST* we are constantly expanding our “It’s the End of the World so Eff It List” that breaks down all the things/people we would do if the world were ending and there were only like seventy two hours left to live…they are all otherwise reprehensible things that we could not be held accountable for if the end of modern civilization is pending. Important things like “make out with best friend’s fiance” or “sleep with married co-worker on office desk” or “try crack.” So if you have a similar list, you might want to dust it off and revisit it before August. That is when the most powerful atom-smasher ever built, the Large Hadron Collider, will be switched on in Switzerland. And a black hole that will swallow the entire Earth may or may not immediately follow. Read more here: Critics Fear Collider Could Doom Earth
We definitely do not advise checking stuff off the ‘Eff It’ list yet. We’ve all seen the scene in the movie where a character confesses something horrible just before the plane goes down, only to have to live with the shame of the admission once the turbulence ends. Don’t be that cliche. Wait until the panic has ensued and the end is eminent. Then get your freak on.
And not just because we shot this with them. It’s actually because they have all the criteria we look for in a dude. Smart funny- check. Dirty funny- check. Look good in work clothes- check (would also accept dresses like Pirate here). Ability to talk freely about mustaches- check plus.
The show premieres this Sunday, 6/29 at 10pm. We’ll be watching it so if you watch it too, then it will be kind of like being on a date with us- except better- because on a real date we’d just drink too much, laugh at our own jokes and then not put out.
This is an oft discussed topic. Which is worse? We have experienced both and although the feeling of someone blowing a hair dryer on your face for ten hours a day in a convection oven is terrible, there is also something miserable about suffocating moist heat, other than just the word moist. Wanting to give our readers a real answer to this age old question, we have been doing some field research and we arrived at two concrete facts in the humidity vs. dry heat debate…
One: When drinking, either can be dangerous.
Two: When hungover, both will make you vomit.
On behalf of the Best Company Ever, Inc. please remember to stay hydrated during this nationwide heatwave.
After a marathon research session which consisted of 13 episodes of Mad Men, we arrived at some thoughts about working in advertising in the early 1960s. And as with everything else, our perception of this era is based solely on television shows we’ve watched. Here is our list of the pros and cons of an advertising career in the 60s:
PRO1- Drinking at work is not only acceptable, it is celebrated and embraced
PRO2- Free flattery at every turn in the form of blatant sexual harassmant. But even the homeless guy masturbating in front of our New York office in the morning can feel like a compliment when we’re having a bad day.
PRO3- We’d get to write awesome copy like in the ad below. Imagine the hours of debate spent on whether adding “it” to the line would be pushing it too far.
CON1- Because we are women and it was 1960, we’d be secretaries.
SPIKE TV took a gamble and brought in the BEST* girls to produce and direct a campaign for dudes. But luckily, the only thing we have more experience with than tequila, is dudes. Check out one of the spots below. And if you haven’t seen it yet, another one is on our work page.
And because they were seriously one of the BEST clients ever, we encourage all six of our readers to watch Spike’s Guys Choice Awards on Sunday June 22nd at 10pm. On Spike TV of course.
PS- we’re Mendes all the way.
Normally, over here at BEST*, we avoid waxing political. But first the soft-core was taken from our illegal cable box, and now, we’ve been alerted to a scary prospect….the end of the internet (read no more free porn, gossip blogs, politico.com). Seriously. One of our BEST friends alerted us to this and we want to spread the word. Basically, “net neutrality,” or the ability for small companies like ours to waste time and gigs putting up slow-mo videos of ourselves in plushy outfits is something we take for granted. But internet suppliers, such as Verizon, AT&T and others, are lobbying for the government to put an end to that. Basically, they would prefer to limit the amount of info traveling through their “tubes” by offering big companies, with a lot of money, the option of buying the equivalent of an internet EZ-Pass, ensuring their info gets through quicker than everyone else’s…like ours, yours or youporn’s. Which would mean unless you got the scrills to compete with google, your company would not be able to stream videos, post photos or possibly have a site at all. Perez Hilton and fetish videos aside, this is some 1984 style shit. So unless you want to end up like Communist China, read more about it here and spread the word:
Because we are so stoked on our new blog, we figured we?d reward our new readers.
