I'm not sure how familiar some of you are with the Lingerie Bowl so I'll explain it. It's a pay-per-view television event that takes place during the halftime at the Superbowl (football). This is usually because the super bowl half-time sucks, and someone figured they'd take advantage of America's repressed sexuality to make a buck. Now the first one was a couple years back and I thought it was the last one, but it seems I'm mistaken. This year will be the third annual. It's pretty simple, there's usually a concert or something, then two teams of models in lingerie play full contact football for a bit, then one of them gets a trophy, wins, and presumably they start spraying each other with champagne and making out.

I discovered today that this year's lingerie bowl is being sponsored by Bodog. For those of you who don't know, this is the company I work for.

But wait! That's not all! An extra thing I do at work, an optional task if you will, because I think it's fun is come up with entertainment wagers (shit like will Britney and Kevin break up, will Apple announce a video iPod, etc). Plus it was hella cool when a wager I created and implemented showed up on both BoingBoing, Gizmodo, and the BBC. Also on a bunch of blogs, including one that I just found that's kind of creepy. The guy posts here and links to the Gizmodo story, which in and of itself is not creepy. What is, is that he has the same goddamn name as me and the domain to prove it. I'm really tempted to call him and explain why I think this is funny, because his cell number is on his site.

Anyways, so I do that too. This means that Kal (my media relations boss for that kinda thing) sends me interesting things. In this case it was an email forwarded from our PR firm in LA. Basically it said we'll be doing a big publicity stunt at the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Highland. They'll probably have a hummer or a limo, wrap it with that car-covering vinyl promo stuff for Bodog and the Lingerie Bowl. They'll also have out CEO probably, a whole bunch of Bodog Girls, possibly done up as cheerleaders or lingerie football players, and Dennis Rodman (who happens to be the league chairman or some BS for the Lingerie Football League or LFL). And he wanted me to throw him some ideas that our PR firm could do with this.

...Okay. So to recap:

I spent part of my day at work coming up with insane things for a bunch of half naked women, a hummer/limo/jacuzzi on a flatbed, my CEO, and Dennis Rodman to do in Los Angeles that would get us a whole bunch of attention.

...I LOVE MY JOB!

Also, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ANY MENTIONS OF JACUZZI TRUCK IN THE ABOVE POST ARE COPYRIGHT GREG GODDEN CAUSE HE THOUGHT OF IT. That is all. :P

Your job is almost the best. The best job would be the man who gets to jerk Alan Cumming off every morning.

lol, dork.
Was just buggin yea' :)

Yeah, bill idea is good, certainly hope they try to work something like that into it if they go with that idea.

And your articles helped, but Kal and Marco agree'd that with the money on it it would be better to take the loss then have a bunch of angry people calling you CSR folk.

Half naked women, a hummer/limo/jacuzzi on a flatbed, a CEO of an internet gambling company, and Dennis Rodman, all in LA doing crazy things.

If that doesnt blink out of existence right after the first hip gyration, the guy responsible for smoking Sodom and Gamorrah is asleep at the switch.


But Eris is alive and well.

I think she's done it a few times in the past but I'm not sure if she's doing it again this year. She's pretty popular with the Maxim/FHM crowd though so I don't know for sure....

Well then, it is to you who I shall voice my complaint! The second model in from the left in the above photo is missing one of the little black stripes under her eye. what happened there? Did she take it off? The Lingerie Bowl isn't about taking off your clothes like some kind of sex kitten, its about Football! I'm offended. Please send cash.

Here's winking at you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that!

I have no idea. I think she suffered a tragic accident and has one glass eye, therefore she doesnt need the little black stripe (which prevents glare as well as looking badass).
