Really, Supercuts?
A “great idea”?
Reminds me of another great moment in social media marketing.

Regarding: http://twitter.com/sarahlane/status/15739958674 People are stupid. You’re not dumb, you know lots, and you’re very relevant. I’m offended for you. Why are people such jerks? If the don’t like you, they don’t have to watch. Whatever. Their loss.
Thanks, but don’t worry about it… I don’t! A long time ago comments like that did hurt my feelings, but through the years I’ve learned that I will never please everyone no matter how hard I try, so I might as well just be myself and expend energy on the stuff that matters, and that over which I have control. I also know I’m not dumb, I know a little about a lot of things, and I don’t care if anyone thinks I’m relevant or irrelevant or anything in between. And I’d give anyone struggling with negative feedback the same advice. :)
Don’t boycott BP. Consume less oil.
It’s not just cars. It’s plastic bottles. It’s CDs and DVDs and records. It’s paint. It’s film. It’s diapers. And thousands of other products.
If you want to make a difference, walk or ride a bike. Stop buying bottled water. Never, ever let anyone put your purchased products in a plastic bag. If you want to punish the oil industry, use less of their product. Giving your money to Exxon instead of BP doesn’t change anything.
Bottled water makes me feel stabby. Please just stop.
I like the fire extinguisher part. Panduhs rule.
As we’re all aware by now, one of the worst environmental disasters in recorded history is underway in the Gulf.
As helpless as you may feel, you can do something right now by donating to a Gulf protection group like Save Our Gulf, the National Audubon Society, or the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
To get all of you involved this week, we’re replacing Tumblr’s usual ocean blue with a new heart-of-BP-executive black and letting you donate without leaving your Dashboard.
Donating will also unlock the Limited Edition Black Dashboard as an account preference.
Donating: It’s For the Birds.

Hi Everyone! I know I haven’t used Tumblr in a very long time, so trust me when I say this is important. My sister is part of a rescue organization in Los Angeles, and about 10 days ago she rescued this dog, Oleo, from a kill shelter. In spite of having spent his entire life tied to a tree and abused — you can see where his skin grew over his collar — he still loves and trusts people. My sister found him a foster home, and thought all was well. Yesterday, Oleo dug his way out of the yard of his new home and was lost. My sister drove around his neighborhood looking for him for 4 hours until she found him. He’d been hit by a car. She’s taken him in but he is seriously injured and needs surgery.
She has set up a Chip-In account which is a secure, quick, and easy way to donate. Any small amount you can give, or any reblogs would be much appreciated. There are so many dogs, animals, and yes, people, out there that need our help — but if we can all give a little bit to Oleo, we can save his life.
I haven’t been a part of the awesomeness that is the Tumblr community in a while, but I haven’t forgotten what it can do. Please help.
Click on the photo or the link above to donate.
Can you spare a few bucks for Oleo? He could use a little love!
“When we found this dolphin it was filled with oil. Oil was just pouring out of it. It was the saddest darn thing to look at,” said a BP contract worker who took the Daily News on a surreptitious tour of the wildlife disaster unfolding in Louisiana.
His motive: simple outrage.
“There is a lot of coverup for BP. They specifically informed us that they don’t want these pictures of the dead animals. They know the ocean will wipe away most of the evidence. It’s important to me that people know the truth about what’s going on here,” the contractor said.
“The things I’ve seen: They just aren’t right. All the life out here is just full of oil. I’m going to show you what BP never showed the President.”
(via Dying, dead marine wildlife paint dark, morbid picture of Gulf Coast following oil spill)
"You know the best way to get the public to respect your brand? Have a respectable brand. Offer a great, innovative product and make responsible, ethical business decisions. Lead the pack! Evolve! Don’t send hundreds of temp workers to the gulf to put on a show for the President. Hire those workers to actually work! Don’t dump toxic dispersant into the ocean just so the surface looks better. Collect the oil and get it out of the water! Don’t tell your employees that they can’t wear respirators while they work because it makes for a bad picture. Take a picture of those employees working safely to fix the problem. Lastly, don’t keep the press and the people trying to help you away from the disaster, open it up so people can see it and help fix it. This isn’t just your disaster, this is a human tragedy. Allow us to mourn so that we can stop being angry. In the meantime, if you are angry, speak up. Don’t let people forget what has happened here. Don’t let the prolonged nature of this tragedy numb you to its severity. Re-branding doesn’t work if we don’t let it, so let’s hold BP’s feet to the fire. Let’s make them own up to and fix their mistakes NOW and most importantly, let’s make sure we don’t let them do this again."

King Crowley
Meanwhile, back in the boardroom:
“No, no, we don’t want to say he’s the new ‘Mayor of Social Media’, too literal! Too obvi! But hmm, we did buy this crown prop, and it’s sooo money. What should we…. wait, I’ve got it! He’s the king! THE KING OF SOCIAL MEDIA! And make sure that shit sits crooked!”
All jokes aside, good for Dennis Crowley. I love Foursquare.
