Turns out, cash was the easy part.
The trouble was getting their drunk marketing team to agree on a what a paid article should look like.
Let me remind you, they paid us to run this article.
10:40am: Running a full page ad in Freeskier that just says Fuck Newschoolers
Thats it.
They said theyd pay for it.
10:41am: Boobs wearing sunglasses
Thats all I wrote down, actually.
Not sure what we were thinking with that idea.
They dont remember either.
They made that image, but were legally not allowed to post it.
11:32am: Jon Olsson Sues Pit Viper
The follow up article to above.
The award goes to Wabs, because Newschoolers.
12:14pm: Pit Viper Hires Eheath
As Director of Making Fun of Children on the Internet.
We support this, and hope they actually hire him.
12:32pm: Fuck Pit Viper
This was an article explaining why Pit Viper is ruining skiing.
I still think this is a good idea, actually.
1:13pm: …
Thats it, because the brainstorm turned to off-topic drunken gibberish.
Then we continued to email for weeks, liked none of the ideas, and posted this instead.
And Pit Viper paid us for it.
Frankly, I doubt theyll ever see this.
Moral of the story?
They asked me to kindly not include a link to our site(/kindly not include our names).
I asked them if I could just come hang out soon.
