The Naked Office

Archive for July, 2009

The Bloody Apprentice

No office nudity here as such, but we could not resist showing you this as Sir Allan Sugar (“Alain Sucre” for the Francophones) talks about the taboo subject that was a mystery until now.

The video took months to put together by super talented writer Michael Bollen, the “cassetteboy” cut and paste expert.
Michael has a gift for making you laugh and also wrote the comedy novel Earth Inc.

Some interesting comments came through about the Naked Office documentary now shown  twice on Thursday & Saturday –  here we go, in no particular order:

1 – It looked a bit like a german nudist camp

2 – Has anyone heard of the “guru” David Taylor before?

3 – Praise to Sam Jackson for going the full Monthy – cute in a petite sort of way!

4 – Did Lisa keep her clothes on because she’s the boss’ girlfriend?

5 – I bet people are spending more time at their desks

6 – Do they actually swap chairs…

7 – Where was Ricky Gervais?

8 – Why is everyone carrying a box around?

9 – Which company is going to implement this next?

Companies Strip Down To Boost Up

The first time I heard about being naked at the office was in a book from Amelie Nothomb – Fear and Trembling (Stupeurs et Tremblements).  The heroine gives you an insight in the Japanese work-life-no-balance and eventually ends up running around stark naked at the office (but she’s on her own). An excellent book I thoroughly enjoyed!
