Staplesville?

This has to be the weirdest website I have ever seen. Staple's "Staplesville" is this entire virtual world dedicated to helping people find jobs at Staples. It is even filled with a flock of strange characters such as talking dogs and people with PHDs in Advanced Workology. Make sure to watch the tips video- I can't recall what any of their tips are but the man with the exploding head was memorable.
For someone who has no interest in working at Staples I spent a lot of time on this site. The motion graphics are really fun and quirky. The site really looks amazing. Staples should probably try to integrate some of this stuff into their normal über-boring website. It would set the apart from the competition. You would never guess that the two sites were produced by the same company. Staplesville has this collage like, small town feel. At the same time though the amazing, sharp graphics and design are anything but old school.
Even if you aren't looking for a job. I recommend checking it out.
