Subscribe by EmailYou know it: Your business card is crap
April 9, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 18 commentsI’m sorry to tell you, but even if I never saw it, I just know your business card looks like crap. I mean, compared to the one you’re about to see, I’m sure that if you’d give it to me, it would probably end up in a landfill somewhere.

Isn’t this the absolute best pitchman you’ve ever heard?
I need to hire this guy to take care of [GAS]’s marketing. :)
That guy seems like an ass if you ask me. He’s got a point though. His card does stand out.
His card doesn’t fit in a Rolodex. Perhaps.
But it’s also too ugly to sit long on a desk.
Where does it fit nicely? Where does it belong?
In the recycle bin or trash with all the other junk marketing crap I rceive that thinks its special because it’s loud, large, and tacky.
What is the result he generates?
Hot air. Nothing more. Everything less.
Comedy. Absolute comedy.
“Life is not about being liked” – lucky for him, really, or he’d be royally screwed. That business card of his would get binned immediately in my case: it doesn’t fit anywhere and just shows massive ego, rather than any kind of comprehension of why business cards are built the way they are. I would prefer to do business with someone because they’re good at what they do, not because they think they’re special!
If it doesn’t fit in my card pocket in my wallet I chuck it. I have no other way of keeping track of these things when away from my desk. I also have two desks. So he doesn’t even make it home for me.
Plus he is way over the top arrogant. “The best card evah” is a subjective statement, he
does have a point about the stock and imagery though. I would say, skip this clown, talk to my wife.
lol man, and here I am about to go do a weekend of networking when I realize that my business card is crap.
This guys reminds me of a feminine hygiene product one might use on a summer’s eve – and the bag it came in.
If I ran into a guy like this in my line of work, I would write him off on a heart beat. Could he do great things for my organization? Probably. Would he be worth working for me – absolutely not. I will NEVER hire anyone that arrogant to work for me.
I just give out greeting cards – BOOYA!
Some of his points are valid, but I kept laughing at him the whole time.
This video clip, the manner in which he presents himself as an arrogant snob, on speed reminds me of so many SNL parodies.
” This card doesn’t fit in a Rolodex….It fits in my ass crack perfectly though…”
This video is just screaming to be made into parody.
Wow, it took him 25 years to design a narcissistic pop-up card…. that guy must be really smart…
This guy generates crowds alright, crowds of people who will take business elsewhere to get away from this argent ass.
Do people even use rolodex anymore? I haven’t seen one in years.
Someone needs to get this guy, and Scott Summit in the same room. Comic gold I tell ya…
ps – GAS needs a ‘preview’ on its comment edit form
“Life is not about being liked” Mission successful! His card may be better than the other ones he showed, but his is only expensive, not attractive. Here are 42 cards that are way better: http://www.reencoded.com/2008/05/20/42-awesome-business-card-designs-with-links-to-100s-more/
Nick,
You raised a good question, so I checked amazon.com, and there are several Rolodex models listed. Now, as to whether anyone actually buys and uses them, I don’t know either. But they’re at least available.
I stopped using any sort of business card file a long time ago. I keep a card around long enough to get the data into electronic form, then it’s on to recycling.
Self-centered, cocky, arrogant jerk. I’d sooner buy from Walmart and Best Buy in the same day than borrow a toothpick from this clown.
It’s ok guys!
I think the video was a parody..
The first ‘result’ he has listed is:
Got my own dictionary entry after years of petitioning. Now under douchebag’s definition, it says “also see: this guy”.
Only thing gaurenteed is for people to be confused as to weather to laugh at this retard or feel sorry for him.
