hmmm...damn suits throwing thier weight around again...someone must've given 'em some hard lemonade.
Archive please...anyone? Anyone? pthd? wayfd...are you there? Wanda? Db...please someone archive
I Missed it............
What got deleted yesterday? PLease re-post it and whoever's deleting shit should go fuck themselves. Or at least tell us what the posts were about...
re: GWP woopee!
You can't think of any of their work. My god, man. I have three words for you: Save your money. That rascally dutchman from ING has won our hearts with his stern yet sweetly comical antics. His presence in front of strategically placed orange backdrops throughout our great nation is as touching as it is inspriring. Sacrilicious!
GWP and Award Shows
They don't enter anything for one simple reason - if they win then they have to take Michael with them and Michael + open bar + the general public is a lethally amusing combination...Nah, just joshin', maybe they don't enter cuz they put their own value on their work and don't need the accolades of a bunch of peers, some of whom are the worst hacks in the bidness.
I'm wondering...
who is the famed scat-eater...someone from the producer's side of the production dept at McLaren is still my guess...but the posts deleted yesterday all related to a certain ad...by a certain agency and I'm assuming they were done by one certain AD...there perhaps by being so ambiguous the little shit for brains without any balls won't find in necessary to omit this...time to go and deliver my own pile of shit to my CD...it didn't start off that way but I work for a bunch of dimwits that love to sink their teeth into something good and drag in back into the valley of annonymity...and if I spelled it wrong...fuck off...it's not like anyone's really reading anyway...pthd
GWP WOOPEEEEEE
To quote the very lovely and talented Janet Jackson, "What have you done for me lately?" GWP may be an office of three guys in bright coloured Hugo Boss blazers n' jeans, but where's the work? To dig up some past ad or accomplishment for anything more than 5 years ago smacks of Proukian "Hey I did the fucking Mona Lisa Caramilk spot so bow before me and give me a sandwich"-ism. (But kudos to Wurstlin for getting up every day for work even though he made 4 quadrillion dollars from designing the TP board and doesn't have to do fuck all for anybody if he doesn't want to) .......Grocery Gateway Launch? Everfresh fuit juice print? I can't think of any of their work. Fact is, if they thought any of their shit was the shit, they'd enter it like everbody else in this godforsaken bid'ness.
Hey, pthd
You ever notice the smarmy little scat-eater only edits OUR postings? It must pain him to go through life without aim. At least we have opinions. ...wayfd
GWP/...wayfd
Hmmm. So which one of us is me? (By the way, the guy's name is Bruce Philp -- you left Philippe Garneau out of the possible choices)
Or, could there possibly be someone is this city who thinks there's more to this industry than what's happened in the last two weeks? Someone who gives a shit about advertising? Who believes that there's a history of great work that's worth looking into and studying? Someone who researches through annuals before posting in here when they're trying to make a point? Someone who admires great work rather than shitting on everything that comes along?
Naaaah, you're right -- I'm one of us 3. ...wayfd
The editor's back...
dude...do us all a favour and delete this fucking site and the password to it from your memory...that way you'll never have to read anything you don't want to again...dumbass...pthd
Yeah, but...
I'm not blaming every piece of shite to ever hit newsprint on AD's...just this one...pthd
My, my, don't we have inner hostilities.
GWP
I should have said "their lives"
re: GWP Slamming
So. Wafd reveals his identity. Question is, will the real wafd please stand up? Philp? Michael? or Bruce?
pthd, you're going to blame art directors for every shitty ad that defaces fine newsprint? I don't think so, Bucko.
The Harry Rosen ad still coughs up big phlegm.
My, my...
I went and snagged a copy of the globe and looked at the harry ad...don't blame the writer for the bad idea...I have a feeling it was the AD's idea...hope you got to keep the suit Matt...I'm also going to throw it out now...I think the account'll be up for grabs by Christmas...pthd
re:re
Oh my.
Re: GWP Slamming
Dear fuckface
When you write headlines like "From 0 to 'What seems to be the problem officer' in 8.3 seconds" (as Garneau did) OR when you design something like the Trivial Pursuit game (as Wurstlin did) OR when you create a strategy that becomes one of the most memorable and effective anti-smoking campaigns ever (blowing up a Porsche/young girl watching herself age in mirror, as Philp did), I may take your opinion seriously. Until then, might I respectfully suggest you shut THE FUCK UP about an agency's reputation and whether they want to play the reindeer games of award shows. ...wayfd
"RATS" spot bullshit
The stupid Bush ad controversy is pissing me off. Tthe word "bureaucrats" is simply dancing around the screen. First you see half of "ureauc", then you see "bur" then you see "rats". Who fucking cares. Deliberate? Who fucking cares.
Good afternoon GWP!
My deepest, sincerest, most heart felt appologies to our esteemed friends at Leo. To misrepresent you with this pile of poo poo should be punishable by death. I just assumed that because one of your writers was in the ad that it came out of the hallowed halls of Uncle Leo. I will don my hair shirt, repent and turn my wrath on our less then esteemed friends at GWP. Of course when an agency like that can't win an award to save them (sorry) shun the awards shows, you can hardly fault them. They know not what the shit out.

I wish they had "i've fallen and I can't get up"... But they do Have Santo Gold and Tom Vu says! Can't wait to see them Blueblokkers here! what a goldmine of bad ads.

teabaggers
Garneau Wurstlin Philp definitelty have Harry Rosen!!!!!!
um, er, I think the Harry account went to the good people at GarneauWurstlinPhilp. Perhaps you owe someone an apology.
Good Morning Leo!
Congratulations on winning the Harry Rosen Account. Too bad you fucked it up right out of the gate. "O,K, Now you have to buy a suit. But just the one." Oi. Where does one begin? It is one of the ugliest ads I've ever seen! The headline is meaningless!The writer has the audacity to write an ad about himself! And then has his art director shoot it! Nonsensical call-out images are explained by small novels masquarading as captions! And signed off with 'Life is good. Dress for it'! Jesus. I don't know Judy. You and your motley Leo crew are churning out a lot of bad advertising lately.
GOD DAMN DEPT.
GOD DAMN YOU BASTARD FUCKER COLOUR PHOTOCOPIER STOP YOUR GOD DAMNED TRICKS WITH THE FUCKING COLOUR YOU FUCKING FUCKER I WILL CRUSH YOU FUCKING FUCK GOD DAMN MAKE MY FUCKING COPIES AND STOP FUCKING WITH ME AND DO IT DO IT NOW FUCKING GOD DAMNED FUCKING COPIER PIECE OF SHIT I WILL KICK YOU SO HARD FUCK DON'T FUCK WITH ME. ah. that's better. thanks for listening. god damn piece of shit.

A Case of Erotic Mistaken Identity
Hey, it was I who posted that! Db can't get all the credit for actaul factual information around here! But, sadly, that's all the info I had, I think. I'll check and post more if I can find it in my files... -Wanda
horny for Lisbon info
Hey DB
What's with this erotic ad festival in Lisbon? Are you putting us on? Don't be doing that, 'cause I'll get mad and touch myself, I will. Seriously, I tried to e-mail the magazine, Prisma, at the address you posted prismamag@mail.pt) and my e-mail bounced back. Do you have another e-mail address? The phone number would be even better. Ach - I can't help myself... here I go. Oh no...

Alone. I sit. Here
nothingness is my friend.
Come sweet dark sleep. Come.
That's it then.
My daily rate just went waaaaaaay up.
who stole the puppy
ok theres a TP ad out there for angel TP where the white kid stacks the packages up to keep the puppy from running into the cupord, is this not I ask a blatant steal from some other TP ad where they use the can opener to get the puppy to plow into a stack of tp? I'm pretty sure the other ad was for a different brand. can anyone confirm this suspision, and tell me what agency is behind this grand theft?
apparently sustained double digit growth over ohhhh, sayyyy ten years isn't enough for some clients so they ditch an agency in favour of another.
Becel
Becel - take the stairs. Sweet mother of pearl, what the hell is going on here? A poltergeist is inhabiting a tub of margarine, causing it to jam elevator doors open, and therefore cause some unknown sucker on another floor in said building to take the stairs? What the hell? This isn't motivating, interesting, or even informational. The art direction is crap (I'm sure all the geriatrics who are concerned about their cholesterol really dig your faux-Raygun circa 1989 type treatment). It does not make me want to eat edible oil product. It is annoying, and reminds me of shitty things like work and dysfunctional elevators and bad lighting. OK - so the MacLaren stuff wasn't a gold Cannes winner, but it was a damn sight better than this shit. I hope whoever did this has a really, really, good excuse.
Coke -wha?
What does that scary looking granny say as she drives off? Ok, now that thats out of the way let get back to pthd is so cool.
Re: Wanda made a funny
Actually, I've made a few funnies in the history of this place (especially in the heady halcyon days of circlejerk, oy) but never signed my name to them, thinking that as your fearless quasi-leader I must maintain some sort of impartiality. But since my nervous breakdown, all that has changed. I feel so free. -Wanda
http://www.adcritic.com/content/coca-cola-family-reunion-grandma.html
"pthd" is so cool. "pthd" is so clever. Okay, now that that's out of the way, let's move on to something worth talking about. Namely the piece of shit Coke commercial on adcritic about the family reunion that eats donkey ass. It looks like it comes from about 1985 and it's really really dumb.
And another thing.....
Is that really pthd behind that signature? I thought he could spell to "diarrhea". (diarrhoea is also acceptable) Sh*t I turned into a nitpicker! (no, just suspicious -handlehijacking going on again?)
...timezones suck.db.
Toronto Creativity
.....Flicking through "no logo" I discover this:
"The most creative respoons came from students at the University of Toronto. A handful of undergraduates landed part-time jobs with the washroom billboard company and kept conveniently losing the custom-made screwdrivers that opened the four hundred plastic frames. Pretty soon a group called the Escher Appreciation socity were breaking into the "student proof" frames and systematically replacing the bathroom ads with prints by MC Escher."
See, you guys are creative, even the Unistudents are infamous for it. ;) I've definatly put my foot in it if you aren't in Toronto.. *those dang europeans don't know geography*... Anyway..
What me Rockstar?
Agreed Wanda, but it wasn't my idea to sign it. :) I just wanted a free book. Now you know who thinks he's a rockstar.
Diaper hucksters...
wanda made a funny...me thinks i've's gots diarhea coming out the nose like chocolate milk...i like that...pthd.
Just a thought
Db, don't you think giving away 'signed' copies of things by writers just perpetuates our misguided notion that we are rock stars, instead of the diaper hucksters we actually are?
-Wanda
Luke
Anyone in here like Luke Sullivan (or hate him?)
He's been kind enough to send me a signed copy of "Hey Whipple"..and anyone who is a user at ad-rag has a chance to win as I will lott it out. Thought you guys might want to know. Scuse me while I run off and make some really stupid booby-prizes for the unlucky. :)
Coke.......
--jr, you are getting me depressed.. Will come October move to nameless agency that has Coke. I have worked on Coke before. Man that is a nasty client. Not looking forward to it. Getting them to accept an idea and not mess with it is about as succesful as pissing in the wind and hoping nothing will land on your suede shoes.
- yahyah, it's me again. Db
Pthd! We Luv ya! Ignore that shame guy.
Of course Pthd is right. :) He's always on da money.
There I've chimed in, gotta go wreak havoc in the pathetic board put up by British Campaign. They have unanswered posts there collecting dust since 1998.
Pathetic, but with that design, who can blame visitors for running off? That best part is, they actually expect people to pay money to see this shite online. Oh dear oh dear. London aint what it used to be.
- guess who.
San-ta packs are coming! San-ta packs are coming!
I'm waiting to see a good Coke ad, period. And I'm pretty sure I'm not overlooking any multiple-gold-Clio-winning stuff from 1988 or anything. When I think of Coke ads, I think of that "I'd like to teach the world to sing" crap and that cloying Christmas twaddle they do every year. ----jr.
Re: Coke Spot
The Coke commercial really moved me. In fact it moved me on to a different channel. I'm still waiting to see a good commercial with an Olympic theme. -FAQ
Bad Andy
Is bad Andy a monkey? I think he needs to be spanked.
Amazing broadcast radius
Gotta love that 680 News ad, with all the "man on the street" testimonials from people who just love to listen to 680 news. Which would be just fine, if they weren't standing in the street... IN VANCOUVER.
please don't sniff the bleach.
HEAVEN SCENT!!!!!!
Radio Two?
CBC Radio Two broadcast - conducting symphonies or suffering from epilepsy?
You be the judge...
How right you are!
---- jr. you're right on the money baby...it appears someone does read along once in awhile...let me be the first to say that you should change your handle from jr. to Int....as for the Acid induced Bell spots...that's nothing...wait until you see what we come up with for a certain car rental company that shall remain nameless...it'll make those fish swimming up bay st look like a newborn's wet dream...ah, damn there we are back in pampers territory...or should I say purgatory...pthd
I'll ask again
Acid induced Bell spots with salmon spawning on Bay St. and kids playing soccer on a boardroom table. Oi.
MADD vs. LCBO
On a lighter note, yesterday I saw a Mothers Against Drunk Driving bumper sticker proclaiming that "Driving Sober is No Accident". Later, I saw an LCBO poster asking me to believe that "Drunk Driving is No Accident". Communi-quoi ? ---- jr.
pissed etc.
For the record, I thought it was "pothead" minus the vowels. Anyway, this discussion is getting tiresome. Pthd, keep doing what you're doing. All you gossip-mongers, do your worst. Db, chime in as soon as you're ready. Allossery, stop being such a bore. Mr. Nitpicker, some real content please. ---- jr.
Re:Same, same, same
You're pleasantly surprised at my wit and yet you want me to continue entering my shit? I guess the logic lies burried in the fact that wit and shit rhyme. Are pissed with a lisp because you're drunk or pissed with a lisp because you're angry?
Stirring The Pot
I am shocked and dismayed by the amount of actual advertising talk that is going on here these days. Good lord! Have you all gone mad? Anyway, I hear all the MacLaren producers got very excited that their names were mentioned here last week. Ladies, if just seeing your own names here got you that hot and bothered, imagine how much fun it would be if you actually POSTED something! Come on, we know you have all the dirt on everything and everybody. Why hold back?
