Yahoo!'s attempt to reach out to the tumblr crowd by giving a peak inside of their corporate family, I presume?

*rim shot*

I haven't seen that much raw meat and business casual since I accidentally went in to the black door marked 'DO NOT ENTER' when I worked for Bank of America!

*rim shot*

Smells Like Corporate Spirit:
♪ our business plan, it's stupendous ♪
♪ going forward, it's horrendous ♪
♪ i feel woozy and defenseless ♪
♪ as we monetize these placentas ♪

Wow, three jokes in one post. Talk about value added!

Some of these concepts need more work. Better stay over the weekend. Let's go get drunk first!

Ooooooh. Twisted! "We must have all of them contracts so we can sign them". Priceless. I live some of this stuff.

This is actually more disturbing than I can deal with today.

After spending four hours yesterday doing online training for a retail position, this cheers me up. Mainly because I found myself making up increasingly outrageous scenarios for each character in those training videos and "learning" modules. (Hint: Telenovelas should hire me to write scripts.)

Reminded me of a few of my very favorite writer Dan Kennedy's best pieces for McSweeney's, so much so that I had to send this link to him on the Twitters because I instantly knew he would dig it. It hits a very particular, strange, and pitch-dark note that he also hits very well. Also, it is pretty much brilliant.

Some of DK's finest, in the 'Corporate Spirit' vein:
Use The Power of Subliminal Advertising in Your Brochure Text.
Truly Groundbreaking Advertising Ideas.
The “I’m Sorry I Failed To Make You Rich” Letter.

Where is the ski masked hacker typing on the computer that is not plugged in? (It might be there, my 16-bit Y-coordinate overflowed as I scrolled down)

There comes a time when you just don't cry any more. Because your soul is gone. Gone.

This reminds me of LiarTownUSA (occasionally nsfw), maybe because it's a bunch of weird hi-res images with infinite scroll.

Oh man, that LiarTownUSA is great.

wowww. That LiarTown link is hitting some wonderfully Chris Onstad-ish notes for me, especially the farther down I go.
