    I was doing an email for Notre Dame and was just really pissed off at them because they were always asking for stupid shit, dumb changes and I hated them. Whatever. So they have me put in a few images of mens clothing and it’s late, I’m tired and pissed so I write in my own text in the description of the items. This was just for our internal review so we’d all get a kick out of it.

    Mens Herringbone Sweater – A sweater any man is sure to love except of course a real man because good Lord, no self respecting man would ever be caught dead in this.

    Rugby Shirt – Hey be original and buy this Rugby shirt so you can stand out from every other guy wearing the same shirt tucked into their oversized belt buckle bellying up to the bar buying .50 cent Natural light drafts on a Tuesday at 10am thinking they’re original too.

    There were two others but those are the only two that I can remember. I was supposed to take that text out when the email went live but I totally forgot. I got a call real late the night it went out being yelled at by the marketing chick who really should have seen that before she sent it out. Since it was calling all the info from our server (it was just 3 large images) I had to go in late at night and add in the correct text, push the images live so anyone who would see the email on Saturday would see the correct shit. I caught some hell for it but luckily my boss was a Purdue fan and hated Notre Dame just as much as I. To my knowledge not many people saw the incorrect version of the email but we did get a handful of calls.
