Charlie Gasparino reports that his sources are telling him Lloyd Blankfein and Goldman Sachs are so despised the world over that they get “75 to 100 pieces of hate mail in a single day.” Chaz wanted to give us a specific number, but doing so would’ve given away the fact that he himself has been the one faithfully clipping letters from newspapers and magazines each night to send LB variations on “you got some stugots not callin’ me back, Lloyd!” (“you better fuckin’ call me back, Lloyd!” and “do not test my patience Lloyd or I’m gonna make a bank holding company out of your stugots, LLOYD!”). So, a range of 75-100 it is.

Gaspo also reports, through gritted teeth, that Goldman has bigger things to worry about than his letters, namely “the future of Goldman given all the new regulations that are likely to come out of Washington in the coming months.” But don’t fooled: Goldman is indeed miffed about the shit they keep getting for doing nothing wrong, while other banks like, I don’t know, JPMORGAN could dispatch their CEO to teabag the homeless guy on Park and everyone would crow about what a great and generous guy that Jamie is, to share his balls with someone in need. That why Goldman, according to CG, is considering “launching an all-out media offensive including for the first time TV ads.” So! In what sort of scenarios would you like to see Lloyd placed in said ads? Obviously the commercials will have to demonstrate that GS gets it, so should LB be somber? Should he offer an on-air apology? Should he give the people what they really want, by which I mean film himself performing one of these four tasks? Everyone’s open to suggestions but I think the last one would go pretty pretty pretty far in ingratiating LB and GS to the people.

    1. It wouldn’t be a media offensive but rather a media defensive. GS is on the defensive here.

    2. Please add a tags “balls,” “Jamie D. teabags homeless” “Jamie’s scrotum got licked and Lloyd is furious” or some variation thereof (lest I impugn your genius)

    Thank you.

    I know dis to be a fact, cuz I send 50 of dem letters everyday. Dat punk Lloyd called me a “thug,” ya know, as if I wear a black leather jacket to work. Lloyd is un-fuckin’-professional.

    Like many others, he is jealous of my celebrity. I got da brains, and da beauty, and all dat punk has is a bald fuckin’ head. Da stooge….

    Will the Goldman TV campaign have the quality, craftsmanship, fit and finish of UBS ads?

    Goldman can learn a lot from the Swiss when it comes to presenting an image of excellence.

    Just sayin’

    Have a clip of LB slapping a bunch of children at a birthday party then cut to him stealing Christmas.

    There are an infinite number of ways for LB to publicly demonstrate his remorse, and show the humanity of GS, which after all, is doing God’s work.

    Soft music should be featured in the TV ad, as well as helpless stray animals being helped by good folks at GS. Advertising is not my thing, but something like Lloyd playing the role of Mary Poppins would get the people on his side, I think:

    I think a video of LB fucking a giant fish would garner the best reaction.

    Is some hate mail better than no hate mail at all?

    Gasparino gets 75-100 hate letters a day. Most of them come from Lucas.

    Run a contest of some kind, winner gets $1bio in gold ingots, ten lucky runners-up get $100mio each.
    For a paltry $2bio, Lloyd would become the best-loved CEO in America, plus, it would be the end of all this nonsense about how Wall Street is overpaid.

    (Especially if it was like a “best journalist” contest or a “best bureaucrat” contest or the like, just sayin’.)

    Definitely, definitely needs a commercial starring starring the truly compassionate ad veteran, Sally Struthers.

    Using the same music and replacing the Indian with Lloyd, show Lloyd walking through countries, villages, companies and subprime shanty towns, etc… that got screwed over by Goldman’s structured finance/derivative deals. Replace narration with:

    “Some people have a deep, abiding respect for the natural plutocracy that was once this country.
    And some people don’t.
    People start regulations
    And people can stop it.”

    Show a stack of Maiden Lane I, II, III term sheets and prospectuses being tossed at Lloyd’s feet.
    Fade to black with Lloyd having a tear trickle down his cheek.

    I see potential GS adverts along the lines of political adverts where the advertiser accuses the opponent of being worthless because he/she voted for Bill X and because he/she voted against Bill Y.

    A key difference, thus ensuring success, would be liberal use of the stinkeye to refute each useless claim/criticism. For example:

    Talking Head “Goldman Sachs accepted money from our government and used it to pay employees big bonuses”
    Switch view to LB showing stinkeye

    Talking Head “Goldman Sachs took outrageous risks and without our government bailing out AIG, would have gone down too”
    Switch view to LB showing stinkeye

    Damn. I knew I should have accepted that job in Creative.

    someone help me beg for help I have already written these emails to hundreds or thousands of people in the world’s richest and most prosperous companies, unfortunately without any response a good day would like to ask on behalf of myself and my father both conducting economic activities in the industry I work clothes and my dad in the power industry both our companies are on the verge of bankruptcy my dad founded the company in 1986 and I in 2006 in 2006, several employees left from my dad and started his own company with the same profile of activity taking us to 90% of customers along with them went to them my was a girl with whom I was 10 years people who have gone from my dad and started a competitive firm have the same arrangement with the local police for what my family and me are discriminated against and persecuted for what I most feel it every day in both his work and on the street today More than half of employees in the company my dad was released together with me was the number of unpaid loans used to my dad
    employed over 10 employees will now be only three of these are the people that the pension was only after several years and know that they will not find employment now, our situation is a dramatic turn because of the hot request on behalf of myself and my dad because he is too proud a man to ask someone for something so I ask me on behalf of interest-free loan or a gift no matter what the amount might be, for example one million U.S. dollars from my calculations comes out that even paying that kind of money on deposit to the bank for the year, you can multiply the money and the interest to pay off that we have a long
    eg, after a year or two to give back the money I know that such letters are replaced by the state and hundreds or even thousands, but I would ask a state to consider this request positively look forward to a response on this issue even when the rejection thank you and sorry for the busy time of Peter I greet Klimaszewski Poland street postcode Konopnickiej 5 25-406 Kielce PW AP-TECHNIC Piotr Klimaszewski in the century, ap-technic. pl
