I almost clicked on the Playboy link. Is it even considered NSFW?

Still the best AIG commercial (and possibly one of the best commercials) I've ever seen:

@2 - if you're not blocked by big brother, it's SFW. but do you really want to answer to the internet security people as to why you went there?

day in the life of hank greeeenberg
12:00 pm: Lunch at Four Seasons in the Pool Room. Informs the coat check girl that “it wasn’t my fault, I left in 2005″ on the way in. Arugula and Shaved Fennel Salad followed by Steak Tartare. Jimmy Cayne drops by the table to say, “Don’t let the bastards bring you down, it wasn’t your fault.” Pretends he doesn’t know who Jimmy Cayne is, mortified that this pothead is talking to him in public.

I love the postscripts at the end. It's easy to preach about ethical breaches among bankers, eh? I bet you're even more persuasive when you make shit up. Good job Emily, you've got a great career in journalism ahead of you.

We wanted to blast the world free of history.... picture yourself planting radishes and seed potatoes on the fifteenth green of a forgotten golf course. You'll hunt elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center, and dig clams next to the skeleton of the Space Needle leaning at a forty-five degree angle. We'll paint the skyscrapers with huge totem faces and goblin tikis, and every evening what's left of mankind will retreat to empty zoos and lock itself in cages as protection against the bears and big cats and wolves that pace and watch us from outside the cage bars at night.

That guy is pretty creative, wonder if his tours are full and what he charges. That is the kind of creativity that Tim and ben are up against.

I wonder what the interest would be for a tour of all the dumps I've strumped in the last year. I'd wager significant, significant interest.

@ 12- give it up, "brah"... it'll never be counted amongst the ranks of ShamWow, Mayo, tl;dr, wideclops, etc.

Good point - I should do a "spots at which to blart a fart" tour instead.

@6 - Give Emily a break. She's writes human interest stories for a little-read web site. Every day she has to chose between fictionalizing her stories to try to make them even moderately interesting or realizing the true status of her career and killing herself.
