Samuel Kraftman (current CEO & President - Kraft Foods International) Bad? Why would I feel bad? Johnson was a nerd, and if he didn't fix our problem some other nerd would have. I'm serious. We keep an entire herd of them in a barn out back. Monty Python quotes are piped through a speaker system and they feed on a trough full of Cheetos. It isn't unethical. An idea is nothing without the capital to see it through to reality. That's one of the many unfortunate truths about corporate America. Behind every great mind is an even greater nerd. Say what you will about nerd exploitation, but if you ask me the billionaires are the unsung heroes here. We're tasked with the thankless job of keeping America's top-shelf liquor, gambling and escort service industries above water. I've got no problem bearing that burden, but it'd be nice to receive some recognition for my accomplishments once in a while. While they're comfortable in their single-room apartments debating the merits of Nerd Wars versus Dork Trek or whatever, I'm out there having sex with two, sometimes three women at a time. Does anyone ever come up to me on the street to tell me what a great job I'm doing? Of course not. And if they did, I'd probably have my security team beat the fucking piss out of them for having the audacity to dare speak to me directly. I'd appreciate the intent though. |
