World Change 2010: A simple approach

In lieu of New Year’s resolutions, we surveyed the agency to see what changes our associates would like to see in 2010 to make the world a better place. Yes, we’d all like to see our troops come home, peace in the Middle East and lower taxes. However, a few associates didn’t have such lofty goals in mind. They took more of a … realistic approach.

Top Ten Things BR Associates Would Change in 2010

1. Stop telling that (insert celebrity name here) joke.
2. Fewer complaints disguised as Facebook or Twitter status updates.
3. Limit the number of acronyms in any communication — we’ll call this program SWIM (Say What It Means).
4. More silly hats — it’s hard to be mean to someone in a silly hat.
5. Replace reality television for one week with re-runs of Julia Child’s The French Chef. (The world would be better if everyone approached life as Julia approached food — fearlessly and with real enjoyment.)
6. And end to emoticons!
7. Merge the WWF and Cirque Du Soleil and see what happens. Something for everyone!
8. Fine rude people, decrease the national debt!
9. Teach everyone to make a decent martini.
10. Brett Favre who?
