As usual, AdScammer's have come up with a bunch of priceless comments to my last post about "The Kestrel" and his tirade against Nina, world famous host of the "Fuck Howard Draft Group." Even though I pride myself on being somewhat of a master when it comes to handing out "Piss & Vinegar" observations of the fucked up current state of the ad biz, I have to admit, I get to blow fine Cognac out of my nostrils when I read some of the comments... Apropos a couple...
LD... I actually worked with Mike Cimino (now rumored to have had a sex change operation) on Maxwell House when he was a commercials director at MPO (long gone) in New York, before he broke into movies. He was notorious then for going way over budget and shooting miles and miles of fucking footage to get the most mundane shot of someone walking on a beach... I am devoting a full chapter to him in my next but one book... "Adventures in Advertising." This is the one in which I shall open all the festering cupboards and expose all the slimy skeletons. It means I will never work again... That's why it will be my last book. But, I think everyone in advertising will want a copy!!!
dumdum... I also snorted fine Cognac when I read your description of me ripping off "The Kestrel's" head and flicking my fine Cohiba ash inside the hole. I shall have wet dreams about that.
Wisey... I shall have wet dreams tonight... But, I don't have to tell you what they will be about.
Mike Cimino before... And after... 35 Years after!!!
