What would Michael Flaherty say if he discovered city workers were watching political videos on the job?

If they're from the Flaherty for Mayor campaign, he'd say "wonderful, wonderful."

E-mail from his campaign follows:

We want you to click this link, watch Michael's campaign videos and then send this email to your fav five. Here's why. We want you to give us ten minutes and five friends. Something as simple as forwarding this email can make the difference for victory on September 22nd. With just a few clicks you can be part of the change coming to Boston. We have 6 videos. They total around 10 minutes. Its only ten minutes of your time and it doesn't cost you a dime.

Flaherty Baseball Cap - 30.00

Flaherty T-shirt - 24.99

Flaherty Bumper stickers - 5.00

Sitting in your office, pretending to work, while watching 10 minutes of Flaherty videos and forwarding this email to your fav five, priceless.

Forward this email to five friends and ask them to watch the videos and get involved in Michael's campaign. 10 minutes, five friends, a day closer to victory.

Thanks,

Natasha Perez, Communications Director, Flaherty for Mayor Committee

Priceless!

New campaign slogan:

  • Michael Flaherty - Pretending To Work

Holy smokes

Sitting in your office, pretending to work, while watching 10 minutes of Flaherty videos and forwarding this email to your fav five, priceless.

In the pantheon of stooooopid political e-mails, this ranks high.

Wearing baseball caps and pretending to work

Flaherty campaign, you know us all too well!

If you forward it...

My friend didn't forward it and his dog died.

I forwarded it just to be safe...and after my 10 friends forwarded it too, I got a Kitchen-Aid blender free by mail!

Cool - red or white

Did you get to pick your color!?

HEE!

Make sure to choose one that matches your cabinetry.

Hasn't anyone watched Office Space?

"Sitting in your office, pretending to work, while watching 10 minutes of Flaherty videos..."

Way to harsh on this guy's buzz folks.

I think this is hilarious and pretty poignant. With all the inaction coming out of the Mayor's office these days I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in his office had already watched this 5 times. At least. Keep em comin' Flaherty.

uh...

...I'm not sure that people are going to get a joke playing off a line of a movie from yrs ago that a ton of people have never seen. (Including me.)

Now if she was joking on "Airplane!," she would've struck a chord on this blog!

Uh, yeah, we're going to need to talk about your flair

If you haven't seen Office Space, there's something wrong with you.

I don't have flair...

...and that's my style.

Dave, we're gonna need to go

Dave, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?

For anyone who hasn't yet seen Office Space

It's really too bad

it isn't available on Netflix instant viewing. Except that it would probably cause the whole internet to overheat with thousands of people pulling it up every time someone makes a reference.

Okay, I'll look for it

Sounds like I'll have to watch this one, if only to get some street cred here.

And I probably overdid the knock on Flaherty's comm dir. I realized that in my head I was still ragging on Flaherty's ridiculous attempt to push Menino to pressure the Red Sox, Pats, etc., to rescue the BPS sports programs...

And if you could just go ahead

...and come in on Sunday, too. Yyyyeah thaaaanks.

In all seriousness if you

In all seriousness if you work anywhere near an office you need to watch this movie. It also works if you work in retail/chain restaurants as well because of the Jennifer Annistan character.

Then you will know all about why people say
"PC Load Letter, what the $%^& does that mean!?!?!"

You will also know all to well what the O face is as well.

Why does it say paper jam

when there IS NO paper jam!?

:-> They were so dead-on.

Wait

...don't you want to express yourself?

So...

...appealing to sloth is a vote-getter then?
