Off Topic: Amp'd Mobile Condoms Outlast Company

Big money, big ego, big bankruptcy sale:

A company called VoodooVox...occupies Amp'd Mobile's former posh offices on Union Square in Manhattan, complete with a massive terrace overlooking the city. VoodooVox CEO Scott Hamilton was able to acquire the space and it's custom-built contents "by feeding on the corpse of Amp'd," as he so delicately puts it. For $16,000 at bankruptcy court, he was able to to get a couple hundred thousand dollars worth (his estimate) of furniture and other surplus.

As usual, when someone leaves a place in haste, some things are left behind:

As Hamilton was cleaning out the desks and filing cabinets, he came across some of those excesses in the form of marketing schwag—like condoms stamped with the unfortunate tagline, "Try not to die." Little did the Amp'd marketing genius who came up with that line know that the expiration dates on the condoms would outlast the company.

Amp'd Mobile: Try not to die before your condom!
