Research Kills
I'd really like to know if that Miller Lite stuff was ever researched... cause stuff that wack I can't see ever surviving research. Can you see the storyboards? "OK, its like a bad magic show, then this chick raises her arms, and you think she has hairy arms, but its actually 2 hamsters that hang out under her arms... And the we cut to this high school yearbook picture of a guy, and hes really geeky looking, its a guy named Dick who supposedly wrote the ad, but didn't". Of course, after research, the results would come back: "Remove unsightly arm hair. Also, does it have to be a hamster? Why not a Jack Russell? People love Jack Russel terriers. Then, please update Dick's haircut. We want to reflect a more up-to-date demographic. Finally, a magic show doesn't really embody the interests of today's youth . How about Extreme skateboarding?" So then the ad is changed from the Miller Lite ad we know and love, to... "Open on A bunch of skateboarding Jack Russels on the Half pipe, zooming around. We see their owner, who has a cool haircut, standing nearby giving his dogs the high-five. Then they go back to the bar and meet some clean shaven chicks. And have a few Miller Lites. The End".

Db ps I dunno what the whiners were reading but as I see it, we were in the middle of quite a fun topic.

Re: The whiner below.
That's fine if you think my idea is lame. I have no problem actually saying that maybe you're right. But instead of just whining, add something constructive. Having said that and being fairly new to the business, I think knowing who the assholes are out there to avoid in my career is somewhat constructive however.

Re: Who's the worst person we've ever worked with?
Looks like logic has completely escaped the person who wrote that discusion request. He/she complains that all this page is about is a forum for people to whine about others. Then he/she proposes that people write in and complain about others they've worked with and hate? Isn't that what whining is? Next time you think you have a great brain wave, make sure it's not a brain fart.

Whiners
I know, people who complain the site contents suck are a fucking hoot. The whole point of the site is YOU provide the content. What, do they think I've hired a gaggle of out of work SNL writers to provide funny entries day after day, and they just aren't performing up to expectations? -Wanda

I'm getting veklempt. Here's a topic. Discuss.
I think the whiners have a point. All we need sometimes is a topic. How 'bout this: Who's the biggest asshole you've worked with in the business. They can be creatives, account side, director whoever. Discuss.

Glad to be rid of you boring whiners who come in and complain and add absoluly nothing meaningful. I bet you go to meetings just to bitch about the coffee.

I raised an eyebrow as I read that page. I didn't find it funny at all. (I hate "irony") but saw that it ended with "Do you agree or do you think I am out bicycling?". Now, to be "out cycling" in swedish (ute och cyklar) means; To be totally wrong, have the facts wrong, and/or be daft as hell.
A swedish idiom in a literal translation could only come from two guys..as they never seem to tire of that kind of gag So I looked up the whois record.

Ah yes, it is the famous "Dick is a creative genious" team, Paul Malmström and Linus Karlsson. I can add that the wifes/girlfriends names are Petra and Sara. Petra just produced that famous timex commercial with Tim Burton. When she lived in Stockholm she worked as a model after dropping out of highschool. Now she is a producer at the same place as her hubby is the creative genious. I love successstories.

The Black Hole where ads go to die.
I just returned from a research de-brief and was told that 3 months of strategic and creative development will be 3 months I'll never get back. Edna Glockenshit, a 300 pound, unemployed manacurist from Scarborough was dragged into a screening room on the pretext that she was view a new sitcom pilot. Much to her disdain, the pilot that looked like it was made in 1978 is interupted by what appear to be cartoon commercials. Pissed because she is missing bowling night, only to be lied to is then asked to critique the cartoon commercial so they give her homework on top of lying to her and making her miss bowling. So a total of twenty advertising professionals set aside their marketing degrees, years of experience and the opinion of their advertising agency and put the future of their beloved brand in the porky hands of Edna.

Can vs. American TV Spots
All I know is that after a year I'll probably still be laughing, smiling and wishing that I'd done the C/Net, Budget Car Rental and FX Magazine spots. They're miles above anything Canada produced last year.

Re: U.S. vs Can. spots
You also like the American award-winning stuff more becaue oyu've only seen it a few times. The Canadian shit you're sick of and numb to because you're seen it on air so many times. Saint John Ambulance aired out west. So of course it seems fresh and new to us Toronto losers. That's a huge factor in award shows too - when your stuff comes out. If it's been out since the beginning of the eligiblility period, then by the time the judging happens, your spot/print ad/whatever had been out in the world for about a year and everyone's sick of it and numb to it. Put out something just before the entry deadline and there's a chance that the judges won't have seen it before out in the world, and therefore it's much fresher and new to them and they'll like it more. Fair? No. Human nature? Yes.

Re: Discovery.com
Compare the One Show reel to the Marketing Awards reel. St. John's Ambulance stuff is good. Liptons stuff is smart. But the stuff on the One Show reel (done by the US) kicks the shit out of 95% of all Canadian tv spots. They're smart, simple, insightful ads. Maybe it's good clients. Maybe it's good account teams. Maybe it's brilliant creative teams. Whatever it is, it's better than most of the shite we produce here.

Andy and Rich
Actually, the real story is that Maclaren has become so huge that although they both have been here for sometime, neither knew that they were each other's partner. Several months into their time here, they walked into the same briefing and were introduced for the first time. It was out of sheer shock that they decided that they should probably seek other partners, and both plan to continue working at Mac., leading fruitful and productive lives. - An M2 insider.

ANDY AND RICH SANDWICH TANTRUM
ha ha ha ha! I almost fell out of my cubicle for fucks sake. Whoever altered the sad marta memo with the sandwich fiasco gets a fucken gold star from me. That story is too fucken funny. So I suppose MacLaren has to hire TWO more creatives to fill up the teams for those two picky picky boys who can't play nice together... Or do they ditch one of them? Everyone in the city works at MacLaren now - are there any more creatives left to go there from somewhere else?

re: Andy and Rich
Some of you may know and some of you may not know that Andy and Rich do not like mayo on their sandwiches. Even the best of teams sometimes feel the need to exclude mayo on their sandwiches. Dave and I are currently sorting out sandwiches and alternate condiments. In the meantime, anything that contains dijon mustard should go to Rich. Thank you. marta

Well that's because your the type that likes to spew out stupid comments trying to get everybody all pissed off and starting another shouting match but no body ends up giving two shits about what you say. I scoff at you loneliness.

re: discovery spots
You suffer from what many canadian creatives suffer from: the inability to think Canada can create spots that can compete on a global creative level. I don't think you or others who have it will ever get over it. It's a bizarre psychological thing.

re:the world's longest post by pthd
1: Canada has exactly the same percantage of shit ads to good ads as any other country. Ever watch a show with a U.S. feed? It's fucking painful. Ever watch TV in the UK? The ads are unbelievably SHITTY. I'd suggest that the creme de la creme of Canadian ads aren't quite as good as the creme de la creme of other countries, but the average everyday spot here is light years ahead of most of the world.
2. Research is useless. Nobody has ever been able to make a good argument for it without sounding like a ball-less decision avoider.
3. It's a tabloid society - people love nailing other people for cheating at something, so when people think an ad was ripped off, the circus begins. This whole industry is about ideas, and people are very proprietary about them.
4. You'd better learn to sell your work better or find a new agency. See all that award-winning work in Canadian annuals? Somebody out there bought that work.

Why is it that when I saw these tv spots for the first time, and thought they were from a Canadian agency, I didn't like them that much. But when I found out they were done by an American shop, I liked them more. Discuss.

Best agencies: #1 Padulo #2 Padulo #3 Padulo #4 Padulo #5 Padulo: breakthrough ideas, elegant execution, highly tuned advertising machine, president by Valvoline, virgins on standby 24 hours a day

Here's something for debate...
Actually what I'm about to say will probably draw the type of responses that I'm about to refer too...The advertising industry in Toronto blows! Why? Think about it for a second, we all sit here and bitch about ads...that's good! But whenever something from somewhere else, be it New York, LA or Vancouver, is good, we start to thumb through the annuals, that would better serve as coasters, to find out where the idea came from. And with the technology available to us we now find it necessary to slam other countries that do good work, saying that they stole something from another country from an annual that no one's ever fucking heard of. So then, why does the ad community in TO suck? Because we are unable as creatives and account people to teach a client what it takes to do something relevant. The powers that be are so scared of losing business that nothing new is ever fucking done. The only time a good idea gets sold is when you can pick up an annual and show where the idea has been accepted in the past. Brutal! There's a much bigger world that the one that the 401, 427, Scarborough and Lake Ontario encompasses. So open your eyes, your ears and your minds. And yes, I work at a shit little agency and so do a number of you reading this now. And those who are thinking..."yeah, shit little agency hack" will take a look in the mirror and you'll see an overpaid, big agency hack. I only say all this because I fear that what we do is totally in trouble of going the way of the "dino". Think new think big and quit being so fucking petty towards those that have realized their true position in life and carved themselves out a living. I.E. Vaughn...and yeah I'll sign this one...what the hell I've had a beery lunch...pthd. BRING IT ON!

MacLaren's Dignity Thursdays
I am eagerly awaiting predictions on who will lose their dignity first...

Here at BBDO....
...there seems to be a lot of Cactus (large ones at that!)up on the Account Services floor --it is like a desert anyway (cubicles and white walls) They suit up the evening cleaning staff and send them to creative briefings. You know it's a conservative agency when there are cases of beer laying around virtually untouched.

In the fern category, MacLaren wins hands down. They really know how what to do with their ferns. They put them in suits and send them to client meetings.

I agree with Wanda here. Personal critisism to an extent is one thing, bed hopping rumours are fun, ad critiques are usually hilarious around here, but this Vaughan stuff is really getting old and unfunny. And to me it looks like it is one guys personal mission rather than several peoples jibber. The time-stamping thingie shows what time it is on the computer you happen to be using so I thought i'd put it back for a sec....... As you can see , I'm on european time. It reveals enough about us without saying who we are. If the vaughn posts all come from a computer with the same time, we can all go figure it's a lone loony's job.

Did anyone call that number and order a pizza yet?

I would just like to say...
Bates and BBDO suck ass....I couldn't think of any other agencies devoid of any culture in this market.....I wanna move to Belgium.

Dear Wanda
What the fuck are you talking about? This site has always been about personal criticism. Who's sleeping with who etc.. Besides someone always edits the bad stuff anyway. So don't get your panties in a knot.

A little note from Wanda
People are treading on some thin ice here today, my friends. When you go from creative criticism into personal criticism, I think thats a line that I'd really rather not cross in this forum. I can't tell you not to do it, but I'd rather we didn't. So let's move on, shall we?

Anyone call Vaughan's number yet? Inquiring minds are dying to find out. Call from a pay-phone if you have to. SOMEONE! ANYONE!

poor, sad Vaughan
One time, Vaughan wanted to show me his pee-pee. I declined, of course (duh!)

re: V Whelan
If he doesn't know how to log in, then how did he log in? Someone call that number and order a pizza.

I vote no more mentions of Vaughan Whelan because that post was really depressing - and if it did in fact come from him, I don't want to waste my time reading any more of them should he decide to make such a disturbing plea again.

boy, that's sobering

Hello everyone. I am Vaughn Whelan. A couple of kind people I know told me about this site. I don't know who is writing these things about me or my business, but I would be very grateful if this activity were to cease. If anybody has a problem with me, please call me directly, identify yourself, and we can discuss. My home number is 416 922 6728. Since I don't know any of you people, and since I've had to do considerable digging just to get access to this site (I don't even know how to log in), I'm hopeful that anyone reading this will appreciate my concerns, and respect my privacy. I will be only too happy to reciprocate. Kind regards. Vaughn

C'mon, that explanation/deconstruction is one of the funniest fucking things ever posted here. Kaufmannesque. In fact it can be the work of but one person in the Canadian advertising industry. Guess.

Me too, I thought it was hilarious. In a root canal sort of way.

What?
"No one got" his bit? Speak for yourself. I thought it was damn funny.

What is your problem, you fucking asshole? Someone posts some legitimate gossip on the page about someone many of us know and you brilliantly post "Who gives a shit about Goodgoll Curtis OR Brian Hickling." That's a really fucking useless post and only meant to annoy people like me who might think it's pretty cool that Brian got a creative directorship. If you don't know who Brian Hickling is, then shut your ignorant fucking face. At least it's not yet another MacLaren story about absolutely fucking nothing. Sure, G+C needs help but at least give the guy a chance before you and your immense vocabulary come onto the page and waste our time.

re:re:re:on/off
The lights are on but they're one fry short of a happy meal.

just dropping by... re: hey and re and ...
so i guess if he killed himself from overwork that the on/on thing is correct, even if it's wrong, right? Or am I mistaken? whatever... lunch time! whooo hoo!

On the bright side
Always on ey? You might not be too far off, after a several year court battle, the widow and family of a Denstu employee who "worked himself to death" got fourteen million dollars (?) in "compensation." Apparantlty this man worked ludicrous shifts, eighteen hour days were the norm and he suffered such a burnout that he killed himself, and though I can't remember what it is called it's not Harakiri in those conditions, but another Japanese word for "special kind of suicide".

re: hey
I do not think you understand. The ad is mistaken. They have a light switch that says "on" and "on". It should say "on" and "off". That's what all light switches say. Everybody knows that. By having "on" and "on" instead of "on' and "off", it makes it look like the lights at Denstu are always on, which obviously is not the case. If the lights were always on at Dentsu, then
a) someone who read this advertisement might think the staff was always there 24 hours a day working (which is impossible because people have to shower, eat, vary their wardrobe when seasons change, do personal banking, play sports, visit with their families, etcetera)
b) they would have no need for any light switches at all, because there is no alternative "state" for the light to be in with a switch that is "on" or "on", and a switch by its very nature is a mechanism that offers two distinct alternatives for whatever machine or electrical device it happens to be connected to. In other words, an "on"/"on" switch would never be used since there is no reason to switch it to the other "on" position, since the light is already "on". I think this advertisement makes Dentsu look sloppy in its attention to the structural detail of its work environment. I would not hire them as my agency for this reason.

Re: The idiot above.
I didn't say I didn't get it you bonehead. I said it was hackneyed. It's where the word hack comes from. Judging by your comment I'm sure you're familiar with that term.

hey
you're a cynical bastard aren't you. On + On ='s always on, unlike many of the people who we work beside on a daily basis. Perhaps if you pulled your head outta yer ass you'd noticed that the lights in your world were on, or perhaps off. geesh! phtd

The switch.
It seems to me that the ON/ON switch bit was done a few years back for Shoppers Drug Mart. And I would imagine it's been done a few thousand times before that. Maybe they should've done something original like have a guy with a light bulb over his fucking head. By the way, I was interviewing with Terry Bell not so long ago. Seemed like a good guy. Can anyone confirm or deny? If he offers me something (a job) should I take it?

re: light switch problem
Dentsu should get their money back from whoever sold them that light switch plate, because there is no "off" position on it. Maybe one day there was a problem at the factory on the assembly line and the machine mistakenly printed "on" on both sides of the hole and somehow this evaded the quality control people. All light switches I have ever seen have an "on" and an "off" position so you can easily determine with a quick glance whether the light is on or off. At Dentsu, I guess they switch the light to the "off" position and the light goes out, but the switch still indicates "on", which is probably annoying if you simply want to verify the status (i.e. "on" or "off") of the light by examining the light switch plate. If they still have the receipt for the light switch plate there should be no problem if they take it back to exchange it for a correct one.

Namecalling
My it is quiet in here today. Is that because people spend more time tossing mud on each other rather than on the subject at hand? And who is the delete-hitler?

Pffffffft!

check your own switch, dip-shit. scroll down a bit and you'll see that there are plenty of posts after yours that indicate that many of your fellow boneheads still don't get it. i was merely trying to shed a little light in case your post was a little too cryptic for anyone over the age of 7.

to any morons who don't get the always ad: product name: royal visual gag: blue blood. a nickname for royalty/wealthy folks. pretty lame idea i agree. but if you young whipper-snappers can't even figure out what an ad means, you won't make it in this business past 30.
