Prodo - Total Marketing Solutions

Well, to be honest, I’m not entirely sure that it was aimed directly at us, but from the chatter round the office this morning it may as well of been.

Listen to the news on any given day and you would be forgiven for thinking that you have a better than average chance of being killed that day by bird flu, binge drinking or drinkers, released mental patients, or quite frankly anyone you may bump into that day. But apart from rapping our kids up in cotton wool, we take most of these things with a pinch of salt. However, mention that the earth is just about to NOT collide with an asteroid and everyone starts frantically planning their last hours.

The fact is that nothing holds the same fascination and excitement as getting obliterated from the face of the planet in a huge fireball. Especially, when its likely that everyone in western Europe is going with you. We don’t so much have a fascination with death, more with all the things we would do if we all had at least fours hours notice of an impending mass termination. The fact that most of these things would involve some sort of Star Trek teleporter system never seems to bother us as our imagination runs riot, and it does make you wonder what we are all waiting for.

Now I’m not advocating that everyone drops everything immediately, but if you are harbouring a deep desire to break free of the shackles of corporate life and exercise your god given right to free enterprise then why not do it now. We were lucky this time, by all accounts the asteriod missed us by only a few hundred thousand miles, which in space terms, is about the same as me throwing an apple at your head and hitting the bloke next to you. Next time we might not be quite so lucky.

NB: Prodo would like to point out that we do not have any expertise in the field of astronomy, nor do we advocate throwing fruit in the office.
