Watching this poor women above be denegraded by having “I HEART HP” written on her forehead with a Sharpe by the slimebuckets over at PayPerPost hit me as nausiatingly familiar. Like I had seen it in some science fiction film where poor people had the cold hard boots of corporations gone wild pressed against their neck and were being forced to shill for their brands.

Then it hit me–I had seen this before. The underground Bumfights video series where a group of really demented and sad people paid bums to beat each other, and gave some poor soul $200 to tattoo their logo on his head.

If I was an HP employee I would be disgusted right now. What they hell are you guys thinking!??!?! You’re Class A brand you don’t need to resort to this kind of shilling. Really.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
