  • RE: MEP complains about Plane Stupid polar bear TV ad

    This ad is made for the awards. The award-winning and more award-hungry creatives did it for its shock value... and the fact that they did it, before anyone else... that's the point. Greenhouse emissions, who cares? Any excuse to have a "creative" execution... and yes, even real executions... is enough to get award juries' attention to ...

  • RE: Cadbury Dairy Milk ad cleared of racism

    I can take it with a glass & a half of ... salt!? Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate... erm, what's that? Millions spent for much ado about nothing... just silly. Who knows, this may win another "award"??? Or Cadbury may file for bankruptcy? I think this ads sells dancing potatoes... Sorry Fallon, you guys had me at Sony Bravia ...

  • re: What use is advertising?

    Creators, inventors, innovators, challengers, etc... SCORE! Marketers, number crunchers, clients who research till they die, etc... LOSERS! Creators build companies. They then hire the marketers to destroy them, and pay finance guys to take money away from them. Ironic, isn't it? I once presented ideas to Sony's marketing team, so I know just ...

  • re: Is that all we do, sell stuff?

    Thanks, Dave. I really do enjoy reading your blog. Still, I don't think the planners killed creativity in advertising. I think the lazy (as you so correctly pointed out) creatives did us all in. The likes of Bernbach, Ogilvy, Burnett, Rubicam, etc. (Trott included?) created the legendary works they did because their very careers depended on ...

  • re: Is that all we do, sell stuff?

    The way I see it, the driver WAS paid, a salary to take one and all to their respective destinations. Above all, he saw it in his capacity to add value to everyone's day WHILST he was fulfilling that first responsibility. Advertising continues to be paid for by clients to sell. It's the only way they can pay for more advertising, if anything. I ...

  • RE: EA Games appoints 12-year-old for new Wii game

    I'm 40 and yawning... Shame, you must have slapped the kid with your brief so hard he just had to tout every single point like the rest of us are forced to do everyday. The kid should stay in school and grow up to be a suit. Yes, they must think they direct, too! We'll all get to keep our vacancies for a few more years, thanks to you lot... ...

  • re: What I learned from my mother in law

    Never belittle anyone. Not even when they come from the littlest islands of the world. You'll never know... they could just be right! ;) Proud to be Singaporean!

  • re: How can you provide antidotes to dishonesty?

    Corrupt government tames a whole new generation of citizens for more future plunder. Shouldn't this be the headline instead? Sure, the government can't set itself straight... so let's get the governed straightened. After all, who's going to pay for the exhorbitant retirement funds and secret offshore accounts if the country becomes a ...

  • RE: David Ogilvy ten years on

    Hear! Hear! Read this article aloud to all the rich agency heads of the world... not forgetting the judges of the "creative" awards and look at their collective responses of disbelief. These are the very perpetrators who've long forgotten what advertising is about... Selling! Wait a minute, do they even care? That's right... they ...

  • re: Where's Dave Morris now we need him?

    Try NOT having the Awards for once and see how these Award-Winning "Creatives" do. Like banks in this financial crisis... Fake advertising (for "creativity" sakes) should be allowed to fail. Results (the stuff that budgets were for in the first place) will surface as the true measure of advertising. Like gold and silver... ...
