My dear friend Truus … who brought the Travelling Tractor to my attention … has emailed me about another ‘charitable cause’ being promoted by some Dutch nutter.

I quote …

Sorry it’s all in Dutch, but if you go here, you can see a little film celebrating ‘Swap Your Vibrator Day’.

A couple of weeks ago a company sent a bus around Amsterdam exchanging old vibrators for new.

And of course the Dutchies went for it, coz it was for FREE!

I’m so happy we’re going home!!!

To be honest I’m not sure what to make of it … though for the first time I AM happy Jonathan and Truus are heading back to Clogland because I don’t think I could look them in the eyes anymore.

🙂

I don’t really know what to say about your posts today except your choice of photo for the Dutch vibrator thing was inspired.

Comment by Pete

It would be interesting to hear Jonathan’s view on this.

Comment by fredrik sarnblad

Very funny Andy. I’m still confused about Jonathan swapping his vibrator for a new one!

Comment by Charles Frith

Lazy post. Good gag Boucher. Good morning Bejing.

Good Morning all.

So wrong and yet so right.
Now who’s hiring in Amsterdam?

Comment by NP

i’m glad you qualified the ‘Swap Your Vibrator Day’ title with a bit of an explanation, ‘cos i imagined it as a swap meet, with loads of women trading used vibrators amongst themselves. ew.

Comment by lauren

so all we had to do was throw in a vibrator and youd of left your beloved north? i like you more each day.

Comment by andy@cynic

i think i should stand up for campbell here because the fucker is away and did write a shit load of posts in advance.
of course theyre all shit and lazy and nobody actually gives a fuck, but he tried and thats more than he normally does.
as for swapping shared vibros, maybe lauren has hit on something. could there be an environmental edge marcus and i could applaud before throwing bleach at them?

Comment by andy@cynic

I love it when you stick up for Campbell Boucher.

In todays crazy world of green things you can find an environmental edge to almost anything you wish; even vibrators.

You could make them carbon neutral – setting off the cost of their C02 emissions by investing in a brothel in a developing country (Wales for example).

Then you could throw bleach at them.

Comment by The Kaiser

You know it’s not just the North you cheeky little scamp.

But a vibrator may have helped.

Comment by NP

is that because its so rare?

because were having all this “green talk”, ive decided i want to be one of those environmentally hypocritical twats so from now on ill stop polluting the world with my “colourful” language and be one of those annoying reformers walking around like shit wouldnt melt in my mouth. fuck i love mixed metaphores.

Comment by andy@cynic

to be honest np the issue was how much it would cost to keep your vibro in batteries as we know youd be using it more than some 90 year old nun thats just left the monastary and has the uber horn.

Comment by andy@cynic

my farts are now CO2 Neutral. How fucking cool is that?

Comment by The Kaiser

Think clockwork Andy – windup sex-aids for the ecologically concerned – just think of the fun a creative director could have with that insight.

Comment by John

Your so oldskool Dodds. Either that or you’re a sicko.

Comment by The Kaiser

Solar powered sex aids anyone?

Comment by Rob Mortimer

Stick it where the sun does shine?

Comment by John

Sicko.

Comment by The Kaiser

for any hot ladies out there, id like to publically announce im solar powered and available for hire. the hotter you are, the cheaper my price.

and brown your carbon neutral fart comment is better than almost every fucking blog post campbell has ever written.

Comment by andy@cynic

Thanks Andy. It’s funny, I really do feel that I’m making a positive impact on the climate. Costs me a fucking fortune mind but I’m buying quality carbon neutral certificates and investing in solar powered cocaine production in Peru (which means that the Advertising Industry benefits as well).

It’s the small things people! Every little helps.

Comment by The Kaiser

Paint your roof white everyone.
If the whole world did that we’d reflect one hell of a lot of heat.

Comment by Rob Mortimer

Andy would have to paint the insides of his underpants then. Apparently.

Comment by The Kaiser

is that reference to my arse or my cock. it works for both 🙂

Comment by andy@cynic

We don’t want to start an ice age now…

Comment by Rob Mortimer

Andy, you know at some point we’re going to get a jolly good telling off from George don’t you?

Comment by The Kaiser

rob, may this fabulously typical comment thread be a lesson to you. either don’t post in advance ‘cos we all end up rather ‘lord of the flies’-ish, or have george as gatekeeper from the get-go to keep us all in line 🙂

Comment by lauren

“auntie g” is with rob in the land known as incommunicado 🙂

Comment by andy@cynic

They’re just asking for trouble!

Comment by John

good. Let’s start a riot.

Comment by The Kaiser

Or we could repay their trust by having a serious discussion about agency structures, media-neutral marketing and the role of the creative.

Comment by John

i leave it in your capable brown, im still feeling a bit fucked up over our recent news so need a few more days before i can happily join in campbell blitzgriegs.

Comment by andy@cynic

we could john but why the fuck would we want to do that?

Comment by andy@cynic

andy dear, take it easy.

Comment by lauren

Roger Captain Boucher.

Comment by The Kaiser

stop being nice, remember im the guy you call mr shit or maybe thats just the ex bitches name for me 🙂

Comment by andy@cynic

I’ve never called you Mr. Shit. I’ve called you a cock, but never Mr. Shit.

Come over to my place – there’s a riot going on.

Comment by The Kaiser

Yes Andy. You are needed at The Kaiser’s…

Comment by Rob Mortimer

Andy trying to make people feel guilty or just plain uncomfortable. After all our troubles of the past few weeks, it’s nice to see him ‘coming back’. 🙂
