Don't ask us what we were doing reading the Wall Street Journal this morning (aside: have you ever looked at Kevin Sprouls', the guy who does the Journal's portraits, other work? Love it!), but when we read this article on how those damned Bulgarians are stealing American web ad production jobs our blood started to boil.

Until recently, Web ads were produced mostly by creative types in downtown lofts in places like New York City or San Francisco. But big marketers are now increasingly shipping off that work to little-known businesses in places like Costa Rica and Bulgaria.

NO! Will San Francisco's "downtown lofts" be the next Flint, with grizzled "creative types" standing in line for federally supplied cheese (aren't most creative people lactose intolerant, or does it just seem that way)?
