To set your mind at rest, the tale of the stolen gold toilet has come to a close. Two "Looters" (Get it?) who stole an 18-carat commode from Blenheim Palace in England in 2019 were sentenced on Friday to two to four years in prison for their roles in the theft. Der Trumpf, the rumored buyer, will have to make do with a gold tank for his birthday.

Interesting piece in MediaPost on the current pathetic state of pharmaceutical advertising. As it points out, It's really easy to do the “Saturday Night Live” version: Featuring some poor bastard who is sick with a ridiculous.sounding disease, who, thanks to miracle drug "Xvliandiariox" now surfs, skate boards, zip lines and climbs Everest whilst wearing a huge insane grin. Read a long list of potential side effects, most of which are horrifying or hilarious. Ear wax may spurt from your nostrils, you may become a nymphomaniac and a kleptomaniac at the same time, grow a wooden leg, take your own virginity or whatever. And then “ask your doctor.”
Better yet, "Ask your vet."
Sikh turban wearing communists may have burned Los Angeles to the ground and Der Trumpf may have had a miserable evening at Les Mis, But everything in the concrete covered Rose Garden is loverrrrly with the news that ihe GOP has dominated the annual Congressional Baseball Game for the fifth year in a row, crushing the Democrats in a 13-2 rout at Washington’s National Park on Wednesday, donning matching red jerseys and, of course, red MAGA caps,
A word in your shell like!
The Poisoned Dwarf must be chuckling at the news as he makes his Shepherds Market evening rounds. In a wide-ranging review including everything but creative, Publicis has won Mars’ influencer and commerce business, vindicating Publicis’ strategy of buying leading independents in those markets. In true marketing speak gobbledygook, Mars says it wants to put fans and communities “in the driving seat” and believes it’s found a “new industry-leading agency ecosystem to create brand experiences and personalization at scale.” Ecosystem my arse. What about selling more chocolate shit?
Hey WPP... Do you miss me yet?
With the news that Mark Read is stepping down as chief honcho at BDHC WP, Business Insider tells us that Madison Avenue is grappling with upheaval as its profit centers shift from creating TV ads with catchy taglines and big branding ideas to trading media, integrating IT systems, and helping clients make sense of their customer data.Yeah, who needs all that creative shit when can just move the numbers around?
Big branding bollocks.
In yet another effort to prove he is crazier than a shithouse rat, Pete Hegseth is topping Der Trumpf's 2,000 National Guard by sending in 500 Marines. They will storm the beach at Santa Monica, shoot anyone waving a Palestinian flag and restore peace to violence ravaged Bell Aire.
Hegseth will change her to "Wonder Guy!"
And the sermon for Sunday!!!
One of the casualties of the on-going spat between Ace Twats Trump and Musk Is the Tesla that Der Obergropenfuhrer bought on the front lawn of the White House the other week. I wonder if the Orange Fart has checked out the current resale value of these heaps. Smells a lot like yet another of his business successes!
A question???
Apparently, Tropicana Brands does, as they have just appointed Fig as its creative agency of record. Can someone please explain to me just what the fuck Fig means? The win came after a competitive pitch that included agencies, Orange, Banana and my all time favorite, Tripe and Onions. Stay tuned for all the worthwhile ad biz news on AdScam..

If it's great and if it's working, Don't let the new CMO Fucktard change it. As MediaPost points out, The new iteration of the "I Love New York" campaign began in 1977 — and it's still going strong. Wells, Rich and Greene developed the original tourism work, with the now iconic, much-imitated imagery (I heart NY), courtesy of famed graphic designer Milton Glaser. His original drawing is housed at the Museum of Modern Art. The campaign is a classic, as was the Avis "When you're number two" campaign, until a new CMO fucked it up.
A word to your new CMO!
