okay, they're not voice talent...but it made me think of some of our discussions here when i read this part of USA TODAY's story this week on the creative company (sort of an ad agency but not limited to being an ad agency) Modernista --

Modernista did the unthinkable: It filed a $500,000 lawsuit last year against its client, shoemaker Rockport, while working for it. The lawsuit claimed Rockport wasn't paying for work. They've since parted ways. Regardless of who wins, the lawsuit is a clear message that few agencies dare to deliver to clients: Don't mess with us.

now that's spine!!!!!!!

if i were ever to actually grow up, which at this point seems highly unlikely, these are the guys i'd like to grow up to be.

you can read the whole story via this link:

I'm standing on top of the monkey bars and cheering for these people!! And now I'm going to include that link in my 'pay me now sucka' letters to those clients who put it off for months and months and months and months.

But if they'd just used PayPal and gotten their money up front, they wouldn't be in this mess now would they?
