Things you need to know when pitching Nokia!
I know I’ve done a few minor rants about this in the past, but every time I read… As in AdWeek yesterday that Nokia will brief SIX semifinalists to pitch for its $120 million account… I have to ask, as people in the communications business, could you please communicate logically. You can only have FOUR semifinalists. You want more? Throw in a couple extra BDA’s and you’ve got the quarter finals. Anyway, seems like the semifinalists have to go out to Finland for the brief… Lucky fuckers. What a great country. Stunning women, some even blonder than the blondest women in the world… Swedes. Everyone drinks like a fish, eats giant pickles and carries a rucksack. So there. Everything you ever needed to know about Finland. Oh, and it’s cold and dark in the winter. The contenders should pack long johns and a flashlight
.
Oh, and watch your mouth around the women!
actually george, you can have six semifinalists if you make the semi's 2 rounds of 3-agency to-the-death steel cage matches, then you'd be left with two bloodied finalists to finish it up, mad max style.

or make a it a global "Highlander, there canbe only one" meets "Where's Waldo" as our contestants travel (at their own expense) to far flung locations searching for the Golden Fleece and killing each other along the way.
2 benefits: it guarantees there will be a winner with chance of going back on the decision, and cuts down the population of BDA's allowing a fresh crop to slowlt spring up and learn to tread more cautiously than their ancestors.
film it and you can sell it to Fox, resulting in a 3rd benefit, pfroitable entertainment.
