When a friend first told me about StrawberryFrog back in 1999, I thought to myself, "what is this Heshie, some kind of weird sexual position I don't even know about?" Then he tells me they're an advertising agency! I almost choked on my pastrami sandwich. I don't even care if these guys figured out how to market magic eye posters to blind people, this has gotta be the dumbest name for an advertising agency since that Hidey-Ho Idea Ranch shop back in the '80s.
Just when I thought things with this place couldn't get any more half-baked, I check out their website and their whole agency story is a damn picture book with this stupid little frog hopping around its pages like he just got out on parole in some prison-themed Broadway musical. What the fu*k?
They also must have got the same guy that came up with "StrawberryFrog" to write this... "That's right. A frog leaps seemingly without effort. His body is made for speed and agility. He leaps over land and water and around and around the dinosaurs. His leaps are never accidental. He decides where he wants to go before he leaps. Then he goes there with speed and lots and lots of energy." You seriously gotta be shittin' me. I wouldn't let these guys near my brand if they were paying me!
