I suppose lots of PR Douchnozzles out there think I have some kind of influence over the ad community (which I fucking do!) 'cos they keep sending me fucking releases about their clients latest breakthrough in guerilla marketing, or game show product placement, or really really bad TV commercials. But yesterday I got a fucking classic... It read... Samuel and Gunnar Dominate Nominations for Icelandic Award Show... The Icelandic Award show has nominated directors Samuel and Gunnar of multimedia and content creation firm Crossroads and Icelandic production company Sagafilm for four out of five awards in the "Best Commercial of the Year" category. The nominations follow up the award-winning duo's gold medal in the same category in 2007 for their work on The Last Supper for Siminn, an Icelandic telecom company. But, aren't there only 300 people living in Iceland, and now that their banking system has collapsed, aren't most of them even more drunk than usual? But hey... They just got mentioned on AdScam. That's worth a case or two of whatever the fuck it is they drink in Iceland.
Who the fuck are Samuel and Gunnar?
