This will probably be the same person who picks out the Corporately Correct art that lines the hallways: you know, the paintings of 10 eagles soaring, 11 eagles swooping, 12 eagles perched on a branch looking triumphantly into the sun. Pretty soon it won't just be magazines who are in the business of selling audiences to advertisers: it'll be your boss, too. This is as offensive an innovation as product placement in movies. It is truly one of the stupidest ideas since the car doors that opened out with the hinge at the back. Of course, if you're like most of the zombies in the marketing departments at every place I've ever worked, you probably spend most of the day watching your screensaver while dreaming up ways to kill the company and run, so maybe that's exactly the target market they're going for. Save not your screen with text, for that is the slippery slope to the dark side!
