I can't imagine this working for anyone. Doesn't make me want to buy jeans, wear jeans or feed my mogwai after midnight. I'm sorry, but Paul the Pincher is the stuff of nightmares. Yuck.

I am so glad to discover this has nothing to do with my age! (55) I find it "ew yucky gross" too.

I think it's tacky and makes me not want to wear my button-fly levis anymore...

Ed, I may have blogged about it but there are no links to Levi in this post for a reason. I don't want to give them any kind of link love, but I am flabbergasted enough that I want to understand why they thought is appropriate. Definitely lost a lot of respect with me.

I imagine they wanted to reach their male demographic, It's just not well done. (Major understatement.) So far, my male friends have had the same WTF reaction. Major FAIL!

I totally agree. Unfortunately, this seems to be the latest trend in "viral marketing". Do something that's ridiculously controversial to build up Google juice. Hey! It got you to write about it. While I'm not sure if this falls into that category, it's certainly more than a unusual and grotesque effort on the part of a long standing and respected brand, that just lost a great deal of their respect. People are going to write AND link to it.

Yeah, I agree. WTF!

Hey Ellie!

I'm currently tweeting at both chelpixie and Vibemetrix accounts. My approach is the same, deciding which bits of info to tweet on which account. The interesting thing with the election stuff is that I've made the mistake of tweeting something on the account during the debates during excitement. Oops, but the balance is a lot easier to find after the second week.

Thanks for the shout-out, Chel! I have to say, it can be tricky to manage both a personal and a corporate twitter account - going back and forth, deciding which great links/tweets to share with one or the other or both... would love to hear your thoughts once you're at it tweeting both @chelpixie and @vibemetrix . I feel like there aren't a ton of us two-time tweeters out there.

Oops! Glad we put some astonishment into the suits. Every time I think crank it out, definitely CC-ism. hee!

Thanks for the congrats!

C.C. Chapman — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:00:39 -0000

A CC-ism? That just made me laugh out loud. Of course since I happen to be wearing my new media nomad hat today I'm in a financial building in Boston and scared all the suits with my outburst. Priceless!!!

It is a balancing act and something you'll figure out the more you do it I'm sure. Congrats on your first week!

That number includes the most accurate count available of fatalities.

I agree it's important to include everyone, you can find this information on wikipedia if you want to refresh your memory on the specifics.

Does that number include the Pentagon and Flight 93 or just WTC?

Thank you for using the Atahualpa theme. You're using All-in-one-SEO and there's an issue with Atahualpa & that All-in-one-SEO due to the teme's own SEO features. (Look in the meta tags of this page: http://chelpixie.com/blog/2008/07/10/8-ways-jns... ). Please upgrade or apply the little fix (one line) as outlined at http://wordpress.bytesforall.com/?p=56. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Got Gmail?

I'm all that and more--I'm writing my novel on Google Documents! Somehow I missed the fail the other day, but the thought sent chills down my spine. I back up my novel notes on my hard drive and flash drive...but that's it. My email is backed up on another Gmail account! I'm not rethinking Google in the sense that I'd drop it (it's too convenient), but this definitely makes me realize that it's time to find an extra basket for some of these eggs...
