To all staff,
I would like to take this opportunity to address the rumors that have been floating around the office about a potential merger. Yes, it’s true! Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce will be merging with Cutler, Gleason & Chaough effective immediately.
Undoubtedly this WILL affect some of you. The merger offers an exciting opportunity to grow our business and reevaluate all of your contributions as we embark on an exciting future. While we know that this might make some of you nervous about job security, we encourage everybody to embrace the changes and continue to strive for excellence. Please know that while restructuring does create an opportunity to address redundancies, we hope that everybody knows that we are grateful for the start-up challenges and appreciate all of your work.

To all staff,
We hope you had a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year to boot! We know that 1968 is going to be a huge year for Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, one in which we’ll see all our targets hit. On that note, we hope you all enjoyed your holiday bonuses, which–while not as large as the number circulating around the rumor mill in the office due to some financial irregularities–were still quite competitive. A new year is a fresh start, and with that in mind, we ask that you all take a moment to review the SCDP employee handbook, so we can learn from our hiccups last quarters and move forward. (Note on handbooks: If you haven’t received yours, ask your secretary to find it.) Read More
Hey there, welcome to New York’s Authentic Sports Club, the first gym that specializes in a truly authentic New York workout. Is this your first time visiting one of our 900 locations citywide? It is? That’s cool. I could tell, because most people who have been in the scene a while know that the best spot is our new pop-up gym in Brooklyn. It doesn’t even have an address, actually. It’s just “the old bread factory” on Foursquare, if you want to check in sometime.
I see that you bought a trial membership from Groupon. Very cool. I know Andrew Mason, actually, he teaches kickboxing at the bread factory location when he’s in town. Sometimes you can find him grabbing a macro-bite with some of the Saturday Night Live cast, or the kids from Gossip Girl. Oh, but let me give you a tour of this place. Read More
This is a work of satire, based on Patrick Stewart’s recent Twitter fights with Time Warner Cable. Only the first two of these tweets were actually sent from the actor’s Twitter account, though we really wish this were his Tumblr.) Read More
There is a polemic up at ChristWire.org about Tao Lin and Megan Boyle’s new movie, Mumblecore.
Headlined “Satanic Hipster Tao Lin Makes Sinful Snuff Film ‘Mumblecore,’” it’s important remember, as at least one commenter failed to, that ChristWire.org is in the fake news business. Tao Lin internet loyalists do not have to Read More
How much Portland is in “Portlandia?”
The new show, which premiered Friday on IFC, depicts a eco-friendly wonderland where the denizens of this magical Portlandia enjoy a rigorous pursuit of the liberal ideal. There are militant feminist bookstores, restaurants with overly extensive information about your dish’s living experience on a sustainable farm, and the openness Read More
