Marketing email I just got: "Do you ever wonder which apps influencers (like yourself), celebrities, or Jersey Shore castmates have on their phones?"
My response:

Marketing email I just got: "Do you ever wonder which apps influencers (like yourself), celebrities, or Jersey Shore castmates have on their phones?"
My response:
*highfive* I think you win the meta award.
I wonder if they have ever tried to sell this picture to some other blogger…
I love this so much.
Careful, Wil, they might call you a moron and then completely and utterly destroy their already non-existent credibility with the entire internet.
ROFL! The Bloggess will be proud!
The uncool half of the internet won’t get this.
Between you and the Bloggess, I think you own the internet. You certainly pwn the marketers.
Pretty sure that sound you just heard was The Bloggess fainting.
#WINNING
How can I collate paper? Also, what kind of paper do you prefer to collate so I can get some just like it?
While this image fills me with absolute joy I hope it shames every unthinking PR/Marketing rep.
And that’s why I haz interwebz.
You rock! I so hope they want a demonstration of your relevancy!
LIIIIKE
I have seen this picture several times now. It is still funny, and a percest response to the email you received, I hope The Blogess sees this soon.
“Jersey Shore castmates”? That’s low.
I am relieved that this particular PR firm, at least, does not consider The Jersey Shore cast members influencers or celebrities.
Hahaha, awesome. I needed that today.
Anyone who sends me anything with "Jersey Shore castmates" in it that isn't immediately followed by "strapped into a rocket and launched into the heart of the Sun so let's have a party" clearly knows nothing about me.
I am suffused with happiness. The internet is a wonderful place.
I don’t think i’d show as much restraint, was I included in the same sentence as the Jersey Shore cast members. Apparently, you’re not a celebrity either, according to this PR firm.
This makes me furiously happy.
this is awesome.
So they’re asking you if you know what apps you have on your own phone? Or they’re asking if you want some brain dead reality whore to drop around and tell you? If so, do you get to keep brain dead reality whore as a pet and/or science project?
Poorly thought out marketing email is poorly thought out.
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.
How does one go about getting an autographed copy of this photo? That would be awesome.
I bring a few of them to conventions for people who enjoy being furiously happy.
That’s about the best response you can give in that case.
Wil Wheaton (and The Bloggess) for the win!
I enjoy being furiously happy, but am also way too broke to enjoy being furiously happy at conventions. They would have to be here in Los Angeles, I might have to drag my husband who may or may not be kicking and screaming, and I would have to find the money for tickets. Sad.
I might have to make a special trip down to ECCC next year to get one from you!
You beat me to it. :thumbsup:
If they talk back, tell them that your favorite app collates paper for you.
I’d be willing to travel for something like that, probably. Off to search for conventions near Florida
This has made my day
Awesome!
Every time I see this photo of you, I want to draw a red Swingline stapler in on the corner of your table.
I hope you were allowed to listen to the radio…at a reasonable volume…from 9 to 11…
Something of a tangent, but what brand of paper are you collating? I’d love to purchase some, as any paper that can look that white next to Wil Wheaton must be quality stuff.
dangit, @jadeddo, I would have beat you to that reference if my T-Mobile cell service wasn’t so dodgy…
Make it a real smartphone app and I think you’ll really have something.
Hey Wil. Where did you get that T shirt from? I love it!
I like to imagine those pages are a flip-book animation of someone stabbing Snookie in the face with an iPhone… That’s the only app I’d have on MY phone…
+1
DO EET.
I bought it at an LA Derby Dolls bout last year.
Genius idea: An app that scans your email for irritating PR pitches and auto-replies with this photo. Perhaps we could ask other former Star Trek cast members to perform office tasks as well so there’s some variety. Patrick Stewart filing? George Takei watering plants? Lenard Nemoy Xeroxing? As amazing as the original photo is, I’m surprised The Blogess hasn’t thought of this …
Thank you sir! My day is now complete.
So. Much. LOVE for this. You and Jenny win at the internets! (Hey, anyway you can get your new friend @NathanFillion to pose while holding twine? Jenny and her BloggessArmy would be in your debt forever.)
At least the Kardashians weren’t involved this time. But I would want them to die from a million papercuts while you collated paper.
For whatever reason, the ambiguous nature of the word “influencers” creeps me out.
So, reading that as a pedant and proofreader, they’re asking you if you wonder which apps YOU have on your phone?
