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!
