Flying Monkey Office Olympics

Posted on September 13, 2008 12:00 AM by Joel Comm

Everyone was talking about the Beijing 2008 Olympics this summer.

Phelps and others stole the headlines with victory after victory.

However, in the midst of this global competition, another competition was completely ignored by the mainstream media.

It is now my pleasure to bring you exclusive coverage of the InfoMedia, Inc. First Annual Flying Monkey Office Olympics.

The sporting world will never be the same...

There's nothing like flying monkeys to decompress after a hard week at work.

I've got a great team and want to salute them for their good sportsmanship (even though I didn't win...)

    You are such a nut, Joel.
    My kind of guy!
    Wish I worked in your office.
    I think the Flying Monkey Olympics
    should be a national event! ;)

    I love the way you mix
    fun with marketing.

    It was great meeting and interviewing
    you in Chicago! Let's do it again soon.
    Hugs,

    Joel
    Speaking of Olympics I used your templates from the
    Instant Resale Templates and made 3 real
    Olympic blogs.
    Your templates worked real well for getting
    Adsense clicks. I made a ton of money even
    though I started them late.

    Check em out!

    That was funnnny, I bet I had almost as much fun watching that video as you did making it! it's too bad none of the monkeys actually competed in Beijing, that would definitely make the Olympics more entertaining.

  11. Bob Molton Says:

    Hey Joel,

    It is a travesty of justice when the media boycott such an important sporting event.

    Lets hope they DON'T boycott my charity event, to raise $1Million for poor children around the globe.

    Cheers from Downunder,

    Greg

    PS. It was great meeting you on recent trip to Sydney!
