About 3 years ago, while I was still at Kodak, our group decided to buy Safe-T Man. Several of us chipped in, including our CMO, and for a while, we couldn’t get enough of Safe-T Man. We called him Art Vandelay, made him a Kodak badge and business cards and dressed him in stylin’ outfits. I think that his interest factor had already faded when someone dressed him in a woman’s suit, making him look like the Church Lady.

A couple of years later, I was working at Kaiser here in California, and we tried to get my Kodak friends to ship Safe-T Man over here. In return, we’d ship them a replacement. We waited and waited but Safe-T never showed up. Tired of waiting, Heidi and I decided to adopt an air conditioning duct that had been sitting in the hallway for months. DuctMan was born! He was fun to dress up and I personally think we did a good job. I also liked the fact that he could stand up, unlike Safe-T Man. A few months later, Heidi and I left that job and we haven’t seen or heard from DuctMan ever since.

That’s Heidi kissing DuctMan in the picture above.

Stumble it!
