If you're going to make fun of us. Make fun of us for what we did.
Diesel.com wasn't us.

man, I think I'm actually tired of the 2A bashing. Don't get me wrong, I was like a 60 year old woman watching Dynasty as the matte painting soap opera was unfoldiong. Honestly though, why does everyone hate 2A so much? Seriously... is it their work, or is it the people that work there? Did they do something that I missed?

have any of you considered that perhaps that is part of the Diesel brand? Jaysus, you're bashing an agency for giving a client what they're asking for.
Diesel has always had a history of campaigns that are either sorta retro or in some way "stylized" king frank, miami, happiness, that weird mannequin thing they had... those are just a few that come to mind over the years.
a name like RETURN OF THE SISTER YES, seems to me this "futuristic" type site fits well with the campaign. as in what would the year 2000 look like when we're living in 1975. Like a Terry Gilliam movie or something.

Yeah, we get it, it's tongue in cheek.
But the site still sucks.

3d can be used in some cool ways.
But any site that uses 3d spinning logos SUCKS, for fucking cripe's sake.

websites suck. that's what i said today in an interview and it didn't bode too well.
- flavorful0
No more Super Deluxe?
Websites suck.
Portfolios suck....
That is why I have no real website outside of making fun of my friends.

i was asked to interview so i did. figured it would be good experience if nothing else.
- flavorful0
Ah, nice. How is Hotlanta treating you by the way?

Yeah, I'm sure that 2Advanced, reknown for making cheesy chintzy blinky 1999 'the future is NOW' firm had nothing to do with the whole sci-fi cheesy chintzy blinky concept.
checklist?
navigation with small bold leading-zero numbers attached and single or double pixel line dividers?
CHECK!Cheesy loosely-techno trash-hall dance music dsoundtrack?
CHECK!Ridiculous non-sensical copywriting? (Emotional Networking, Galactic Positioning System, Diesel A.I.® V.5)
CHECK!Overwrought longish twitchy transition animations using copious amounts of pseudo- holographics?
CHECK!Tiny unreadable type?
CHECK!Giant wallpapers?
CHECK!Site hierarchy making it extremely inefficient to actually do what you came there to do? (look at sunglasses)
CHECK!Completely confusing concept that obscure the actual information a user would want?
CHECK!
(What is this crap about holographic entertainment network linkup crap? People are supposed to possibly think these glasses do something other than block UV rays!?)I'm sorry 2A.
I'm really sorry.Drop some e, hug each other, and do some pushups before going to that rave.

it said 104 fahrenheit on my car;s dash. more than slightly miserable i'd say. had to wear a mini-dress to the interview just to keep cool.
- _salisae_0
sorry. i think the heat has gone to my head and i've forgotten my manners. how are you doing, flavorful?
nothing like a 2A thread to catch up in.
- canuck0
salisae please keep all blog posts, in the blog thread.
kind regards.
- flavorful0
Hahah, fuck this thread. I only read your posts anyway.
104 is quite hot, it is actually going down to 70's here this weekend which should be a nice change as it has been in the 90's the past few weeks and when it rains it produces steam, haha.
I should wear mini-dresses, I feel like I sweat when I go to work in a pants, long sleeves and a tie. :X
(Sorry, I didn't respond earlier, I am playing poker online ... and losing at poker online, haha.)
I need a reason to convince my friends to take a trip to Atlanta, is there anything going on throughout the rest of the year that an out-of-towner should see before they die?
- _salisae_0
hmmmm .. in atlanta? i heard someone built a new skate park. don't know much about it though. (you a skater?) otherwise mmm .. no atlanta is pretty dull. i am most likely going to qbn sessions so maybe i'll see you there?
- _salisae_0
and, yes sir, canuck. it won't happen again.
- flavorful0
I do skate, but not well, haha. I know a few people that live there and have met others that say it is pretty fun, but I guess that is like any town.
My boss has been on vacation for the past week, so my QBN Sessions is still up in the air.
Should be tits though ... well better with me derailing everyone talking kind of like threads and such, haha.
P.S. canuck, until I catch up on the blog thread, I feel I cannot post there. :X
