Their recruitment videos score a solid 5 on the 1-10 scale (which is why I think they're diversifying into hip social media marketing). It's like the ad agency is going "We can't say THAT ... we don't know anything about THAT ... they won't tell us why someone would like to do THAT ... uh ...

If so, and if this tweet was in any way an attempt to silence those queries once and for all, the Agency is even more hopelessly out of touch with reality than I thought.<br /><br />They can't very well lead with an explicit claim to have juicy insider knowledge of high-profile secret info (JFK assassin(s)? Flying saucers? Drug-running in the Golden Triangle? "Piccadilly's" home address in Denmark? etc) so may be trying to play it off with "No, we don't know [implausible thing]", to deliver the unsubtle hint that they actually <i>do</i> know lots of cool stuff, just not that.<br /><br />It's a theory.<br /><br />-- ΩAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
