You're Adink

Someone in marketing needs to be fired.

Let me explain.

The other day, my wife handed me an advertising flyer from our newspaper.

Wife: "Tell me how you read this."

I looked at the flyer.

It was full over advertisements for local companies.

But...

...At the bottom, was the name of the company who created the flyer:


Adinkvillage.com

Me: "Does that say, 'A Dink Village?'"

Yes.

This flyer was brought to you by:

A Dink Village.

Aside from probably being Paris Hilton's favorite vacation spot, I cannot imagine what A Dink Village is.

Is it this:


Or maybe this?


Yeah, I stuck that stupid douche canoe Barry in there.

He should feel privileged that I still think about his fat ass once in a while.

Of course, I'm picturing him in a village full of dinks, but whatever.

Curious as to what exactly A Dink Village is, I decided to go to the website.

Oh.

Ad Ink Village.

That makes more sense.

Still, though - whichever dipshit won the 'Name the Company' contest needs to be fired immediately.

Maybe they can go work for Acocktown.com.

I'll shit if there's a website for that.


*********************
ALSO:

I've created an audition tape to try and have my VERY OWN TALK SHOW!!

This is not a drill.

Please check it out and vote for me. That would be awesome.

Then what would be awesome is if you spread the word and got me even more votes.

Then I get rich and we're all happy. And by 'we're all happy' I mean "I am." I see this as a win.

  3. I think THAT is a super duper name for my employer.

    I've been referring to it as cock-henge (due to the fact that it is a colossal stone phallus) but adinkvillage has its merits as well. I wonder if it is trademarked in Canada...

  6. I just returned from your Barry story and I wish you would put some kind of warning on your posts.

    "Don't read before breakfast or even thinking about eating" would be helpful.

    Eww.

    I don't even remember what this post was about.

  9. I clicked on that canoe link and read about your co-worker- from the way you described him he sounds like he might have Aspergers Syndrome- a high functioning form of autism...

    the callouses/fingernail thing- still gross...ewwwww...
    but he may have a legitimate reason...doesn't make him any less weird- just sayin...
