Y&R New York, VLM are a bunch of Ungrateful Bastards

I think the Inbox needed one of those “We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties. Please Stand By” sign thingies for the past few days while my computer recovered from the digital sniffles. Then again, that wouldn’t have stopped the cool stories from coming in. Ah well, time to clear out our actual inbox and put it all up here!

Christmas is done — even for my Orthodox neighbours who had their tree up in the window right up until yesterday — and if you’re like most people, you probably got some stuff that you didn’t really want but couldn’t return to a store. You know, like the pink bunny pyjamas when you really wanted the Red Ryder BB gun with that thing that tells time. Well the folks at Y&R New York and digital shop VML have created a month-long gift exchange site called “The Ungrateful Bastards“, where you can ditch your unwanted presents and trade them with someone else’s unwanted presents.

Hmm, I wonder if I could score a new external hard drive for a large number of brand new socks?
