PLEASE tell me, everyone here remembers TRL? I'm what you might call an elder millennial, and TRL was the thing when I was in middle school, I would come home every day and watch it. Well, at work today, we were discussing major cultural trends and somehow MTV/TRL from the late 90s/early 00s entered the conversation. Out of the 20 people in this meeting, 3 of us remember TRL, 4 Boomers didn't seem to get it, but more distressing, all of the people in their 20s and early 30s, had never heard of

Oliver Communications has finally merged with Wayne’s World Enterprises. End of an era. But this decision was really made decades ago when they sold the agency to Garth Holdings.

Oliver said you will know when it is time to take his name off the door; When long haired metal heads are headbanging in the office. Disgusting end to a wonderful legacy.
