I have to admit I am somewhat flummoxed to understand the “Live” commercial for Snickers in yesterday’s Super Bowl. Apart from the “we are live in the third quarter” reference, which was why the spot was supposedly “Live” … What the fuck was the benefit of shooting it live. Oops, replayed it and realize that they had the actual score… 21 – 3 at that time, but … Seriously… Who gives a fuck?
Why football fans are fucktards!
You have to laugh when you read all the reviews of the Super Bowl spot that ran yesterday. Why do I think it’s funny that all these reviews are running today? “Cos 99% of them have been running for fucking weeks, so what’s the point of watching as part of the broadcast of the world’s most boring sport? Standing by for the hate mail!
Now that’s what I call sport!
My good friend and ex-workmate, John Marchese, points us to the ever obvious and accelerating direction of numerous ad agencies transmogrification into consultancies, strategists and data douchenozzles. This is best illustrated by Deutsch’s Chief strategy officer Andrew Dawson, who claims that his chief goal is helping the department move beyond its conventional role guiding the creative campaigns of its clients. "I want to make sure our strategists are as well informed and curious about business models and operations as they are about consumer behaviors and culture,” This, he explained., will be achieved through “Biodiversity.” Well, fuck yes, that sounds really impressive, even though I have no fucking idea what it means.
Your Biodiversity Bollocks have arrived!
News just in that when the then president-elect’s son Eric Trumpf jetted to Uruguay in early January for a Trump Organization promotional trip, U.S. taxpayers were left footing a bill of nearly $100,000 in hotel rooms for Secret Service and embassy staff. So far, no word on whether or not we ended up paying for the Secret Service guys hookers!
I don’t think Eric went there for the rugby!
