Gawker: valleywag, advertisers

Advertisers are pretty, oh so pretty, oh so pretty and witty and bright

Nick Douglas — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 19:02:39 EDT

And they pity
anyone whose ads aren't here tonight!

American Apparel,
Comedy Central
gave me money
how funny
I feel!
And if you do
Then I'll loooove you and give youuuu a deal!

Advertisers love us again

Nick Douglas — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 19:44:16 EDT

It's been so long since Valleywag had a Special Friend to thank for sponsoring the site. Much appreciation to this week's advertisers:

American Apparel
Comedy Central

You too can advertise on Valleywag.

And just to make this post fun for everyone else, here's Bill Cosby rapping about Jell-O.

I pity the fool that don't answer my survey

Thanks a million to this week's sponsor, Endless Pools. Want to join them on the A-Team? Advertise with us.

Readers, we want to know who you are, so we can better sell you. Fill out our reader survey. Takes 2 minutes, makes you feel good about your high tax bracket, and one of you wins an iPod shuffle just for filling it out. Strap that around your neck and jog with it.

Advertisers get blue balls

Nick Douglas — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 16:37:33 EDT

We love it and you love it — the weekly thank-you to Valleywag's advertisers.

This week was brought to you by Endless Pools. Make Valleywag richer than ~~Larry Ellison~~ God by advertising with us.

So...nice of you to drop by. Good, uh, good weather? Yeah. Yeah, a little foggy here too. Some wind. Um. HEY LOOK OVER THERE, IT'S A BRIGHT AND LOUD BLUE BALL FACTORY.

Thanks, Advertiser!

Time for that weekly moment where advertising takes over editorial — the sponsor thank-you. Once again, Valleywag's sponsor is Endless Pools. As always, your first step on the road to sponsor status begins here. And now we're left like awkward lovers with no cigarettes. So, er, here's some Hamlet.

What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.

Really, our big brother Deadspin does movie quotes on sponsor posts. What does that leave for the rest of us?

Advertisers get Fibonacci poems

Nick Douglas — Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:39:33 EDT

To this week's sponsor, a poem in the Fibonacci style.

Oh,
I
would love
Endless Pools
even more if they
were delivered filled with Jello.

Reach engineers, venture capitalists, and Google's Marissa Mayer. Advertise with us.

What's the deal with Endless Pools? (Or, the Weekly Advertiser Thank-you)

Nick Douglas — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 18:36:31 EDT

You know those endless pools at the Googleplex? (Actually, can someone take photos closer than from the glass-walled hallway above them? Pixplz at tips@valleywag.com kthxbai.) Maybe that sale convinced Endless Pools, this week's brave Valleywag sponsor, that rich geeks love swimming in one direction for hours. Yeah, I hear Napster's Sean Fanning totally got toned from swimming, dancing, and sex. (That is a lie.) Anyway, thanks, Endless Pools!

Valleywag's readers are easily parted from their ill-gotten millions. Advertise with us.

Valleyschwag: Hiding the nakedness

ndouglas — Mon, 27 Mar 2006 15:57:16 EST

Sometimes people send free things. An update to the Valleywag schwag watch:

¬ That Sprint phone got here. Tried to use it for work, which is why there are only two posts up. (That and I am dumb.)
¬ San Fran company Mule Design Studio sent this Flickr-in-joke T-shirt. It looks good and makes one's chest happy.
¬ Corporate Casuals, a Valleywag advertiser, sent some hats with the 'wag logo. Looks handmade. Very loving, very kind, gonna keep making fun of them on Fridays.

In the works: Valleyschwag, an eBay schwag consignment outlet. Swatches of the armpits from Steve Ballmer shirts! Oracle-branded condoms (Extra-thick Firewall (TM))! All at your fingertips, mere days — no, hours — from now.

Slipping the advertisers some tongue

ndouglas — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 12:26:11 EST

Thanks again to Valleywag's advertisers. This week was brought to you by:

Ruder Finn, whom I forgive for pumping drum and bass out of their splash page.
Corporate Casuals, where every day is Casual Friday.
Shatner DVD Club, which is the only schwag I'd ever ask for.
MS MEDC, feeding the Microsoft conference addiction.
Slide, standing on the corner, watchin' all the girls go by.

You too can get thanks and backrubs every Friday — and maybe sell some things too. Advertise with Valleywag.

Corporate Casuals, when you gonna make Valleywag-branded socks?
MS MEDC, remember to make those conference badges flippable.
