One year,
in lieu of a Christmas bonus, we all got mittens with the agency
logo. Another year it was birdhouses the president's wife had
taken a fancy to. I thought those were rather shoddy presents
at the time, but that was before I knew what Dentsu
employees got in their stockings.
...shortly
thereafter defendant Shigeta returned with five or six prostitutes.
Again, defendant Shigeta demanded that plaintiff and Mr. Weitz
select a prostitute with whom to have sex. They again declined
his demand, politely but firmly. Defendant Shigeta then simply
selected two prostitutes for his two subordinates, by pointing
at two prostitutes and then at plaintiff and Mr. Weitz, stating,
"You - him! You - him!"

former Dentsu
America CD Steve Biegel's lawsuit
against his former employers.
Man, if
I had a nickel for every time my boss ordered me to make love
to the Slavic whore of his choosing...
Of course,
the tidbit that gets the most press is Biegel's allegation that
Dentsu Holdings CEO Toyo "Make every shot a PowerShot"
Shigeta snapped a crotch shot of Maria Sharapova, who may have
been seventeen at the time. I say "allegation" as
though the photo wasn't on every ad blog and news site from
here to hell. Yeah, that alleged photo. I'm not posting it here
because, if there's even the possibility she was underage,
I'm not really comfortable spreading it around.*
Also, may
I just say how jealous I was to learn somebody
else had already coined the line "Make every shot a
crotch shot"?

*Now you
feel guilty for masturbating to it, don't you? You should. Unless
you're 17. Then it's okay. I think. Don't quote me.
