Evil

TWO GUYS, DESPERATE FOR FAME

In lieu of having a publicist who is actually aware that she's our publicist, I am appointing myself to the post of Interim Director of Online Marketing for The Hose. And I've already executed my first marketing campaign! See how good I am?

Here's the deal: XTIAN and EVIL are two dudes who are desperate for fame. Specifically, we NEED to get on VH1. On-camera work. Fame! Failing that, we might settle for an on-camera role on MTV.

As such, we need to get our good work (this blog!) in front of some VH1 and MTV executives. As of right now, The Hose has a marketing campaign running on Google. Search for any VH1 or MTV executive, and there should be an ad targeted toward that exec, promoting The Hose. For example, Mimi James is VH1's SVP of Talent and Creative Development. Search for her on Google and look for our ad!

(If you don't see our ad and it's late in the day, it could be that we've exhausted our ad budget for the day. But try again the next day!)

Just for kicks, here is the list of VH1 and MTV executives whose name should work on this campaign:
