Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
All the cute you need….
Blog Guy, I’ve had a very draining week, and I need something to cheer me up.
I hear you. I’ve had kind of an emotional roller coaster ride myself this week.
Wow, Blog Guy. Yes, I imagine humor blogging is a gut-wrenching, high-pressure profession. How do you keep your sanity when the going gets rough?
Well, I wouldn’t say I ever actually keep my sanity. Let’s not go overboard here.
But I can tell you that when I need to lift my spirits I go to our photo archive and treat myself to a little animal therapy. Like this dog helping to raise a newborn lion cub.
That’s very sweet. I’m feeling a little better already. What else?
Couch potato scuba! Yeah, baby!
Welcome to a new Great Challenges in Advertising. Think scuba diving, what comes to mind? Crystal waters, coral reefs, Barbados, Hawaii…. But Siberia, not so much? We need to change that. Bring people around.
Look at the photo. What are the strengths of Siberia’s scuba diving? That’s right, it’s convenient. Good! You can do it downtown! No boring tropical boat rides. And, they have chairs! You haven’t really experienced scuba until you’ve done it from a chair!
Brainstorm with me here, people! The pool is small – you won’t get lost! And what else? MAGAZINES! Instead of looking at fish, like you could see at a fricking fish market, you can read! It’s scuba for couch potatoes! Can we shoot this guy watching a plasma TV? Now we’re cooking!
Advertising news: There’s your problem right here, ma’am…

I don’t get it? That’s like a guy sitting on top of a lawnmower parked in a concrete lot.
