Some clever (?) people in the good ol’ US of A have come up with the novel idea of printing your business details onto some beef jerky with a laser. If you don’t know already, beef jerky is:
And here’s the finished product:
If you’ve got plans to set up a new agency this year, and some of the names you’re considering are: MEAT, Beef Studio, ConnectBeef, Cheetham Bell/JWBeef, An Agency Called Beef Jerky, (this is such good fun) TBeefWA, CodeComputerCow, Star-dot-Beef, BeefJL, Moooosic (It’s out of the park!!!) St Beef’s, Beefy Mother (OK… starting to lose interest) then these are the perfect business cards. You can then enter them into D&AD in the Best Use of Beef Jerky category, which I have on good authority will be a new addition for 2010.
Chop chop!
I’ll steak my reputation on them…
Well there are plenty of ideas to get your teeth into there… (sorry the best I could come up with before the next round of coffee)
If they have a vacancy I’ll fillet.
My current cards are a bit girly. Those jerky ones are definitely butcher.
Do they deliver? ( sorry, that one only really works if you say it out loud with a Yorkshire accent… )
You could always laser print a nice paisley pattern on them and make some curtains?
I saw a similar feature to his on how-moo, or was it cow-do?
At least they didn’t print on the animal’s intestines, that would have been offal.
i think what scares me more than the fact that such a product exists, is that they used PATRICK BATEMAN as an example!!
[or was that you, simon, with your sick sense of humour.]
now, all i see is the business card scene and human remains. ew.
I can’t take credit for that – it was the chap above – jason kincaid or something. And Mr Hogg, I believe that last comment has pushed you to the top of the leader board. Congratulations, your puns smell terrific.
Jerky cards? You’ve got to be kidn-ey…
