AdScamers well know I am not exactly a huge fan of the frat/fart boys at CP+B’s Boulder headquarters. In spite of the slavish arse kissing of AdAge’s “Creativity,” over the years, this is an agency that has produced more than its fair share of fucking clunkers. Until now, I thought their epic “Deadenbacher” for the long dead popcorn Keiser was the all-time winner… Now they have topped themselves with “Cheermageddon” for rapidly sinking retailer Old Navy. A 30 second spot featuring 200 year old Star Trek alum, George Takei, features shag pile planets and a bunch of actors who were obviously required to take serious doses of drugs in order for them to emote in this fashion. And if you want to watch something that will make you want to poke out your eyes with blunt fucking chopsticks… There’s a 60 second version that has Takei singing Aerosmith’s Armageddon. All I can say is… CP+B… You should be fucking ashamed of yourselves… Yet again.
If the Emperor finds out about this shit. I'm fucked!
