I’ve been trying for a little while to get my own law. Anyone who’s anyone has their own law, Michael Moore (Moore’s Law), Kid Rock (Rock’s Law), Eddie Murphy (Murphy’s Law)…..See all the greats. I call my law Adams law, because my last name is not so catchy enough and it goes a little something like this

“Anything you want to do the Japanese already did better”

Further proof of its existance came up today, we had a little meeting Eike, Rebekka (PR), Ami and Me to discuss how we’ll handle the winner unveiling on Saturday at Designers Open. We were brainstorming some funny ideas around a sort of fashion show, we made a little plan I went back to my desk and look what made the front page of DIGG this great Japanese fashion show, which replaces human models with penguins dressed up as Elves and Santa Claus. How are we supposed to top that? Adams law says we can’t. Watch the video:

    so first you are the “mastermind of the OLP”, and now you are naming laws after yourself…
    such modesty… ;)

    Dobebrief’s law “anyone who mocks adam will receive great misfortune”. ;)

    I wouldn’t use ridiculous dressed penguins for “funny” human entertainment. Poor fashion show idea.

    We wouldn’t actually use them, its the sheer stupidity of the idea that makes it funny. I fear this post may have been a little misunderstood, probably through my bad writing ;)

    Adam, I think you have great potential in making laws and phrases .. now that the contest is almost over I can foresee a great career for the OLP mastermind in the cookie fortune biz :P

    Is that a polite way of telling me I’m fired and should explore alternative industries (Chinese Cuisine)?

    i’m glad to see that your modesty levels have stayed largely in tact!

    not only do you create a law for yourself, but the law you created for me is centered entirely around you! Brilliant

    :)

    well, adam - after my latest “experience” with chinese cuisine I think it can’t get much worse. For me the Chinese cuisine lies down on the floor and is ready to be explored. With other words: yes - maybe give it a try. I’ll send you directly to china. This is an immediate order (umm, maybe after ending the contest).

    Dobebriefs new law “you are not as smart as dobebrief”. Simple, but effective :)
