I don't want to sound like Cassandra here, but fuck it, I certainly feel that way as far as the ad biz is concerned right now. As usual, Wall Street was in melt down mode today. Forget the BDC (Big Dumb Conglomerate) stocks... They are in the tank, and will continue to be so for a long fucking time. It's their clients you should be worrying about. I always look at what are referred to as the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Namely, Google, Amazon, RIM and the GodStock, Apple. They are all down fucking huge... Which means their agencies can kiss most of their billings goodbye. Even rock solid IBM is way down. As for the auto accounts. Jesus, you must be kidding. Did you see the news today that General Motors is considering selling its Detroit Corporate Headquarters? Next thing you know, we might have to sell the White House to China, that's if it meets the requisite Feng shui specifications!
Fuck that, just give me the price of a pint and a packet of fags!
