I Want My Vacation

I’m sure you’ve seen the television ad. An executive sits smugly behind a sleek desk, exuding corporate indifference as he coolly explains how your time is their money. He boasts about turning weekends into workdays like it’s a clever business strategy rather than a warning sign.

It’s satire, of course—but the kind that cuts a little too close to home for many. The ad cleverly flips the script, exposing the absurdity of hustle culture with a wink and a jab. It closes with a pointed call to action: iwantmyvacation.com.

It’s a brilliant piece of advertising—funny, biting, and painfully relatable. More than a URL, it’s a rallying cry for work-life balance in a world that too often forgets the life part.

So after seeing the spot 7 times, I finally went to the site

Pretty cool game on the home page called Bash the Boss. Ah-ha! Click a little deeper. It’s a vacation marketing site ala Universal. Pretty neat concept. The site falls a bit short, though. They should offer variations of the ‘bash the boss’ game. How ’bout Drown Your Boss, no, no wait… how about ‘Stick Pins in the Boss’s Eyeballs’.

Anyways, I got to give them 7 out of 10 stars for marketing originality.

UPDATE 2025:
The game is gone and now redirects to https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us
