creative destruction

What do you do if you're the Gap chain of stores? No-one likes your clothes, your image is in the tank, and you need a radical makeover. Well, you could get Spike Jonze to make an advertisement for you featuring the destruction of one of your stores.

Watch the advertisement (6.4M)

It's genius. I particularly like the sales rep's flying tackle of the mannequin. Of course, the Gap, being a large corporation, and therefore totally stupid, did almost nothing with this ad: The sorry story

trust me. you wanna watch this. it's fucking gold. "One step over the line and he will FUCK YOU UP." 'What? No I won't!'

Some moderately bad language - headphones if you have the workplace of suck.

So for the end-of-year Crikey, they had a "Australia's Sexiest Male and Female Politician". One of the submissions:

"Without a doubt this inestimable honour would have to be bestowed upon Senator Vanstone. Her polka-dotted silk blouses leave naught to the imagination, and her thunderous bosom quivers fantastically whenever she speaks, indubitably enriching question time, and indeed democracy itself." - Ben

If any of the people I know called Ben were responsible for this, I will find you and hurt you. I never want to see the words "Amanda Vanstone" and "thunderous bosom quivering" together again, ever. Jesus Fucking Christ.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and bleach my brain.
