The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]


I Am A Muse …

So a while back, Marcus [remember him?] sent me this …

Like him, I immediately thought it looked like me.

Then I looked again and I am convinced it’s me.

Sure, the glasses are wrong, but the rest is scarily right … so scarily right, I swear it has been taken from this video.

Now of course, there is a chance this is all one massive coincidence which would mean one of two things.

1. There is someone very, very unlucky out there.

2. If this ad career goes to shit, my calling appears to be in Tech Support.

Perfect description.

Comment by DH August 9, 2017 @ 6:31 am

it could mean something else campbell. you have a cosmic fucking twin out there who is living the shithole life you should be fucking living.

Comment by andy@cynic August 9, 2017 @ 6:22 am

Oh I know that without a cartoon version of me telling me.

Comment by Rob August 9, 2017 @ 8:01 am

The thought of 2 of you is too much for me to deal with. But if there is a Rob version of you who works in tech support, I bet he’s going to get pulled for hacking in to bank accounts any day soon.

“How do I print a video?”
Definitely talking to a planner.

Comment by DH August 9, 2017 @ 6:32 am

I don’t know what scared me more.
The thought of a Rob evil twin (and which twin is evil?)
Or the idea that someone thought one of Rob’s videos was the correct place to find a catch all tech support image. In fact, the thought that someone decided watch the video at all

Thanks for making me sound like a member of the Menendez brothers.

Comment by Rob August 9, 2017 @ 8:01 am

That’s a scary illustration. But not as scary as the idea Rob works in tech support. I use the word work lightly, obviously.

The automation of marketing.

Comment by John August 9, 2017 @ 6:57 am

Hahahahaha.

Comment by Rob August 9, 2017 @ 8:02 am

Bet that is Rob. His way of getting more money and more holidays.

Comment by DH August 9, 2017 @ 7:00 am

that sounds far too fucking possible.

Comment by andy@cynic August 9, 2017 @ 7:10 am

Yes.

Comment by Bazza August 9, 2017 @ 7:22 am

Now there’s an idea …

Comment by Rob August 9, 2017 @ 8:02 am

Given that you won’t have been able to resist watching yourself again, let’s get this straight – when you say that “we’ll be promoting robots”, that’s not futurism. The real lesson of this video remains the reminder that your colleagues refuse to socialise with you.

Comment by John August 9, 2017 @ 7:08 am

Surely Robert would want to promote robots? Wifi enabled ones especially.

Comment by George August 9, 2017 @ 7:43 am

Well the context of what I said had nothing to do with futurism as you well know John. However as for the reference to my colleagues not wanting to socialise with me … that’s as true now as it was then.

Comment by Rob August 9, 2017 @ 8:03 am

you know how they say opposites attract? you fucking prove that statement is a load of bollocks. and there sure as shit is no one who is similar to you. thank fucking god.

Comment by andy@cynic August 9, 2017 @ 8:17 am

Maybe there is an army of Campellbots out there.

Comment by John August 9, 2017 @ 9:28 am

That is a confronting likeness.

Comment by George August 9, 2017 @ 7:44 am

Alarming.

Comment by Lee Hill August 9, 2017 @ 8:32 am

You are more a mule than a muse.

Comment by Billy Whizz August 9, 2017 @ 9:28 am

This means your future involves dealing with stupid questions from clients – now it makes sense.

Comment by John August 9, 2017 @ 1:35 pm

not as stupid as questions from planners. especially when the fuckers are trying to comment on creative work. it would be hilarious if you didnt want to smash them in the fucking face.

Comment by andy@cynic August 9, 2017 @ 9:43 pm

I’m still here. Lurking. Waiting.

Comment by Marcus August 9, 2017 @ 10:25 pm

By the way… they’re running another ad with you. You are now ‘content’.

Comment by Marcus Brown August 10, 2017 @ 2:11 am

Is the same picture? Please say it’s a new one with sandals

Comment by northern August 10, 2017 @ 3:04 am

New picture. Him behind his desk. Red background. Really shit.

Comment by Marcus Brown August 10, 2017 @ 6:42 am

With his lifestyle, of course he’s content.

Comment by John August 10, 2017 @ 6:03 am

[…] It was for some tech support social platform and – alarmingly – featured an illustration that looked very much like me. […]
