As you well know, I never get tired of saying how fucked up the ad biz has become. That’s because every day there’s yet another glaring example staring you in the face. The latest is the news that Burger King is inviting a bunch of agencies (more than eight at the last count) down to Miami to take part in a cage fight to see who can come up with the next “Great Tag Line.” Currently they are lumbering along under the mind bendingly brilliant “Taste is King!” No word on whether or not the contestants will be paid for their time and efforts. And speaking of time, they will have just one month before presenting their efforts at the Burger King Franchisee Convention in November… That’s right, the Franchisee Convention. Meaning a bunch of cretins who think MENSA is the room you go to take a pee, will decide your fate. I’d rather stick my dick in a light socket (Don’t ask!) And never forget, these fucktards are not pitching for the account, but for what is described as a “Big Platform Idea.” Translation: Tag Line. Yeah, we are well and truly fucked.
If you don't like the light socket idea... Barbie suggests...
