BITCHES!!!
Like I am BEYOND PISSED at this moment now. I am so pissed that this is beyond. For months now I have been following updates and trend spotting news from our headoffice in US with all the reports of what is changing the landscape of advertising these days and also to be in the know of the culture across the world. One thing about advertising is that we have to keep abreast with the latest.
It's no suprise then when we see advertising peeps are normally young because they usually represent what is out there and they would know first hand the latest things from music to internet habits. So back to their reports, one of the interesting one which they don't have to tell me is the moving trends towards blogs and blogspot in particular, being the biggest and most popular.
We, advertisers know the power of internet and in particularly the habit of blogging. In fact, we have employed or rather misuse some of the more popular blogs in Msia by inserting our advertising. I am not sure if some of you peeps spotted it or otherwise but whatever it is, the results are there to show. What the Client is paying for doubled in reward/exposure thanks to internet and blogs in particular.
Imagine my dismay when I couldn't access pages from blogspot since Monday. I thought the server was down but clearly friends who are not working in my office seems to be able to view the pages well. My first initial guess would be my IT dept blocking blogspot from our viewing. Futher probe revealed that she has not done such rubbish. Aside wasting time looking and reading, sometimes there are plenty to learn from blogs. From pictures to information - I believe that it should not be censored. Today, my colleague who is equally another blogspot memeber told me that a certain regional office IT dept has blocked blogspot completely from viewing within the office network.
IT'S LIKE, WHAT THE FUCK? I can't fucking believe what I heard. We of all people knows that blocking/censorship sucks. You cannot begin to imagine the redtape that Gov tie around us when it comes to what we can or cannot do in advertising. One of the sillier one is we cannot show armpit in commercials..can you believe it?? And now we are censoring our own people? Then again, this must be the work of some jealous asshole who couldn't get laid, what do you expect from IT dept? HMMMMPH! MAH HAI AH!
But this won't stop me. I will continue with my entries from work because I can still access blogger.com to post. Censorships SUCKS!!!!
Now that my social life is gone, I am going back to my books. I have found this very interesting book on the Saatchi brothers - founder of Saatchi & Saatchi and also M&C Saatchi. It's true when life gives you lemon...make LEMON CHEESE CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!

If they ever block you, try one of those nifty proxy sites out there.
Social life? Mr Wrong is just one phone call away... :D. Shall I make another faux pas by asking the "lady" to treat me to a movie?
and the thing is sorry niel i do not agree on blogging from work. i feel bad enough by turning on my msn and have it on busy mode.
i guess just too many people reading and blogging with their work hours and when things out of control rules are executed to cease the situation.
that's all
WILL: omg you scandalous flirt..enough about Mr.Wrong. YOU should be treating me to a movie. Going out with me is a treat by itself already! SUNGGUH!
enjoy saje la.
WHORE!
But an ad company censoring blogs!? WHAT THE @#$%@#!!!???
