Trying to think of better excuses since 1995

Sign o’ the Times

This morning, as I walked from the subway station into my office building, I saw a group of people standing around a television.

In this day and age, such a site makes my stomach flip and my heart sink.

Expecting to see some tragedy unfolding, I stepped up closer to the crowd and squinted to see BellSouth’s CEO delivering a speech.

Whew Corporate tragedy is so much more palatable than the human variety.

    Of course, the part you probably didn’t notice was that the speech was laying half of them off ;)

    Was it just a close in shot of his head, like Max Headroom?

    That wouldn’t shock me. My theory always was that the CEO was computer generated, I don’t know anyone who’s ever actually seen him in person.
