Why Tony is wrong about wraps

I first wrote this for the EchoDitto blog. The original post is also called “Why Tony is wrong about wraps”, because he’s still wrong. If you want to work for a cool company too, then you should know that we’re hiring.

Tony Guzmán is an EchoDitto project manager. His clients adore him and his projects are successful, bar-setting endeavors. He is, by a handful of accounts, not a horrible person. The handful may even say Tony is a nice guy, with proclivities to say nice things, and be generally pleasant to others.

These are damned lies when it comes to Tony and wraps.

Tony inexplicably hates wraps. Wraps are great and Tony is wrong:

• Wraps are delicious.
• Wraps aren’t trying to be burritos. Burritos need not worry about wraps.
• Wraps are an efficient food delivery mechanism—you have your wrap hand and your beer keyboard hand.
• Wraps are mobile and social and anything worth having is mobile and social. Wraps are the Pinterest of sandwiches.
• Wraps save on utensils and dishes. The Lorax loves wraps.
• Wraps are multi- and cross-cultural. Israelis and Palestinians both agree on wraps.
• Wraps said nice things about that haircut you got even though it was a little on the iffy side.
• Tony is from San Francisco and his favorite rapper isn’t E-40. HOW CAN WE TRUST ANYTHING HE SAYS?
• I’m not going to check—just Mike Daisey-ing it over here—but I’ll confidently say Tony capitalizes “internet.” That’s weird and thus his judgment is further called into question.

Tony, you’re wandering aimlessly through a cold, wrap-less world. Come inside and warm your hands by the fire*.

*This is a metaphor about how you should eat wraps now.

It’s getting very adult up in here

I like women. I like women. I like the concept of a woman.

I love you, Reggie Watts.

I didn’t believe the talk about Rick Perry’s new ad until I saw it myself

But here it is.
