One of the first posts on Idea Drunk was about the importance of stupid ideas. A new campaign from Diesel has reignited my love for stupidity. (Thanks Dan for the tip.) I love it when a brand is willing to plant a stake in the ground and decide to stand for something. When they develop [...]

“I was adrift for 47 days.
Accompanied only by despair, and my delirium,
One day I thought my Ex-Girlfriend was coming to save me,
and then somehow I was in Venice,
I thought even a sea monster was following me,
and I even believed my daughter had come to [...]
