Just Say No To Forced Brothel Visits
Brands are fragile things, like snowmen in spring. That’s what Julie Roehm learned with Wal-Mart, a case study we concluded back in August. And now it seems Steve Biegel, former creative director for Dentsu America, is about to learn the same thing.

Wow!!
There are so many lessons to take away from this one it’s hard to know where to start.
I’ll drop back to my first lesson in morality from a good Nun in Annunciation Parish too many years ago. “When you are presented with a situation, just ask yourself “When my Mom finds out, will she be proud of me?”. Seems like a real easy standard to meet.
After applying that lesson, I know I wouldn’t have been in this fellow’s shoes.
Also, the blogger’s observation — about upset about being fired or upset about the brothel visit — was pretty spot on. You have to make your objections in a timely manner. Hours; not years.
So here we have an illustration of another later lesson in morality from one of my first bosses at AT&T (Joe DJ) “don’t come to work drunk. don’t steal their pencils. don’t dip your pen in company ink.”. So that particular piece of guidance would have also dodged this bullet.
Finally, my own internal compass would have tilted at the suggestion, with a reading off the scale, pinned to the end of the dial with the legend “Are you out of your mind!”.
I too just shake my head in bemusement.
… but it makes great blogging fodder!
