Fantastic video. Thsi guy is very imaginative. The rescue of the coin sculpture by the police cracked me up. They obviously didn't get it.

wow your life sucks, I am sure once you lay on your death bed you're going to say oh boy i wish i could had worked more.

working 70 hours a week and on top of your game and cant even afford a vacation, maybe you should reconsider your line of work.

Well, really it is hard to see anything else. This guy "needs time off to recharge...." Some of us have never once been graced with the sort of luxury that this guy has. I work in marketing and design, I have for years. I work an average of 70hrs a week, and I have to perform at the top of my game every day. I have not been able to afford even a vacation in over 10 years. Listening to this little prick makes me sick just thinking about him.
