Sammy Sumo supports the Girl Scouts of America. Like reeeeealllly supports them. Like if you had to give his support a numerical value, you'd give it TWO HUNDRED BOXES. No joke. An official state of emergency has been declared in our Los Angeles office, and hourly, company-wide cookie break participation is now required of all employees.

2009-10-20T13:08:00.000-07:00

Sumo lovers worldwide suffered a tremendous shock this week when Sammy was kidnapped from his new NYC home and held for ransom. Thankfully, we received this note from an Attack! Marketing representative earlier today: "We are all pleased to know that he was safely returned to his new guardian, but does suffer some signs of Stockholm Syndrome and PTSD." Welcome home, Sammy. We're so glad you're OK.

Many thanks to Christian, Sweeney and the entire Search and Rescue team.

2009-09-02T14:39:00.000-07:00

We know, we know, you're probably thinking what we thought when we saw this picture: "Back in Hawaii already!? What the!? No fair!" Here's Sammy bronzing in Waimea Bay's flat summer waters. We made him to promise to ditch the touristy flotation device and take up surfing next time around.

Beijing, China

2009-08-31T10:36:00.000-07:00

2009-07-10T10:51:00.001-07:00

Last week the American Business Awards (also known as The Stevies) selected Attack! Marketing as 2009's "Best Marketing Department". We're not going to lie...it's kind of a big deal. Sammy was thrilled to pose next to the "Stevie" trophy, although he kept complaining that Stevie's proportions were "unattainable, unsustainable and totally unrealistic".

Honolulu, HI

2009-06-16T09:59:00.000-07:00

Sammy posing in front of Oahu's beautiful Diamond Head. Words and phrases learned on this trip: "aloha" (hello or goodbye), "mahalo" (thank you), and "ono kine grindz" (delicious foods) .

The Great Outdoors, CA

2009-06-05T15:39:00.000-07:00

Special thanks to Alex T. of Oakland, CA for the photo. (Alex, we're reporting you to the Sumo Protective Services.)

San Francisco, CA (B-Live Tour)

2009-05-24T17:13:00.001-07:00

2009-05-19T12:06:00.000-07:00

2009-05-01T13:50:00.001-07:00

Sammy and one of his best bros, repeat World Sumo Champion Byambajav Ulambayar, at Event Marketer Magazine's annual Event Marketing Summit. Sharing the spotlight + countless Mini-Me references = Sammy's official request that Byamba not be invited to next year's Summit.

Special thanks to Richard P. for the photo.

Indio, CA

2009-04-22T13:47:00.000-07:00

Coachella 2009 would not have been the same without its littlest fan, Sammy Sumo. He flew down to check out some of his favorite bands and left three days later with great memories and a sunburn (again!). Sammy was seen sailing through the air about thirty feet above the crowd during The Ting Ting's performance. Now that's hardcore.

Thanks a million to Valeri H. for the photo!

Undisclosed Location, U.S.A.

2009-03-27T11:28:00.000-07:00

This unidentified graff artist took it upon himself to immortalize Sammy with a freakin' sweet wall piece. We have no idea where this, who he is, or who took the photo, but Sammy, Attack! and sumos worldwide are thrilled to be an official part of graffiti culture.

Mexico City, Mexico

2009-03-11T15:50:00.000-07:00

Sammy Sumo knows how the Attack! team loves souvenirs. Here he is on his way back to the U.S. from Mexico City, picking up trinkets for his loved ones at Duty Free. Since arriving in the U.S. early this morning, Sumo hasn't been able to speak of anything but la playa, el sol and las chicas. Ah, the good life.

(Props to CJ for the shot!)

Palm Springs, California

2009-01-09T15:44:00.000-08:00

Sumo was spotted over the holiday break soaking up rays poolside in Palm Springs. Avoiding the usual seasonal chill, Sumo opted instead to be rubbed down with cocoa butter in warmer weather! Good Choice champ! (Big Thanks to our very own Melinda and Noel for the photos!)

Leaning Tower of Pisa - Italy

2009-01-09T15:26:00.000-08:00

Everything about these pictures scream "tipsy," and in more than one way! Why can't Sumo seem to focus in these fuzzy photos? Our guess: it must have been a little too much Italian Wine (Mad props to Werner J. for playing photographer :D)!

Machu Picchu - PERU

2008-12-29T17:48:00.001-08:00

Seattle, WA

2008-09-05T16:18:00.000-07:00

Quite possibly the greatest R&B group of all time, Boyz II Men (sans Michael McCary's deep bass) performed this past weekend at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, WA. Our very own sumo was in town to attend the Penny Arcade Expo and decided to bring his nerdcore friends to the show. The nostalgia of a decade long ago crept up like a fire as sumo and his friends were reminded of how the Boyz, now men, taught a generation to love.
