Ripping off the CBC logo is the same as ripping CBS or NBC in the states, it is a big deal.

it's the downward spiral, fire the people that know what's going on in the world and leave the people that created the mess.

As someone that works at a "Top Tier" agency, I'll be honest, it's not the talent that creates great work, it's the clients. It's really not that hard to come up with a great 30 second spot, the hard part is convincing Susie McMBA who's imagination is limited to wedding planning that the idea is brilliant. Bare in mind, she is also a Fredo and will need to relay this idea to her boss, at which point she will leave out important details and down sell it if he's not getting it because his imagination is limited to imagining her naked. There is very little talent in advertising, all of the real talent usually moves on to bigger and better things as some sort of Darwinian exercise. Occasionally they compensate a really talented person and they stay. But for the most part you're all hacks.

What's hard is making real content, not some 30 second piece of shit. If you could make real content you wouldn't be in advertising and we all know it. Don't tell me you don't want to make $10M and work 6 months a year making something that people actually like.

Keep lying to yourselves.

Also, CP+B is the Kanye West of Advertising and needs to shut the fuck up. As accounts shrink and shift, prepare for war you mile high hacks.

what about those BBDO FedEx outdoor ads from a few years ago that showed paperclips ATTACKING billboards????? Those were fake right? Because they were scary, insensitive and fake.

Cingular acquired AT&T Wireless for $41 Billion

AT&T acquired BellSouth for $67 Billion

Which is closer to $50 Billion?

And this is why you hire actual creatives, so you're not paying people to come up with some dumb also ran pun from a mom and pop burger shop.

I hope Leo Burnett clients don't plan on using the internet for future projects. That woman hates the internet more than a celebrity with a sex tape.

Also, nice fact check by Lubars'. AT&T did not acquire Cingular, it was the other way around.
