Proving that you don’t have to be a BDA in servitude to a BDHC, news today that after a six-month review, Wieden + Kennedy has been awarded the global creative duties for Visa, taking over from the “Star Fuckers” at BBDO who handled the business for many years. So, there you have it, W+K shows that you can do great creative and still trouser the big bucks. One of the few bright spots in today’s fucked up ad biz!
Typical BDHC Business Plan...
Yes indeed, it’s “Thank God It’s Kate Moss Friday,” and thanks to ace AdScam Princess Lisa, we have a new batch of goodies, including pictures of Kate doing her fiftieth Vogue cover shoot at the grand old age of 45. She did her first one 26 years ago when she was 19. There’s also a video of a question and answer session with her. She still looks amazingly good when you consider what she has drunk and ingested over the years. You could say the same applies to me, although I’ll never make the cover of Vogue.
Still yummy...
Yummy Indeed...
Further proof that the ad biz is totally and irredeemably fucked up and peopled by inveterate scum suckers, with the news that LinkedIn has been hit with two lawsuits by advertisers over allegedly inflated ad metrics. “LinkedIn has systematically inflated ad metrics in its favor, which has enabled it to overstate the quality of its audiences, the quality of its ad inventory, and the engagement from its audiences,” tech company TopDevz and recruiting platform Noirefy allege in a class-action complaint filed last week in California. The companies allege that the incorrect advertising metrics enabled LinkedIn “to collect an inflated price from advertisers.” Who would a thunk it?
LinkedIn lying... I am shocked, shocked, I say!
A little after mid-day yesterday I posted that with the day only halfway through, we were on track to establish a new record number of deaths from Covid 19. Unfortunately, I was right, it turned out that in the twenty-four hours of Wednesday, December 2nd, 2020, 3,157 Americans died. This one-day mark exceeds the number of people killed during the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks: 2,977. There’s no question that these horrific statistics are not going to improve any time soon—hospitalizations in the U.S. due to COVID-19 also reached their highest number to date, with 100,226 people receiving treatment throughout the country. Wasn’t it just a week ago that Fucktard Don Trump Jr. said that it had almost gone away? And this is the guy the Republofascists will probably run for president in 2024!
Or his insane Dad...
With the day only halfway through, we are on track to establish a new record number of deaths from Covid 19. Yet I am reading that Der Trumpf is holding twenty multiple gathering events in the White House between now and Christmas. The first took place yesterday. Apparently, few of the MAGA “Morans” attending wore facemasks and audible coughing was heard throughout. These idiots deserve everything that is going to happen to them. Fuckers!
He couldn't even make the trains run on time!
I my never-ending efforts to bring you the odd item that isn’t about the current fucked up state of the world... Here’s an update on “The world’s loneliest elephant.” After arriving in Cambodia, being greeted by Cher, and unpacking his trunk, (groan, couldn’t resist that.) Kaavan literally reached out to one of the first elephants he saw, extending a trunk to the elephant residing near his current enclosure. Cher’s organization, Four Paws, captured a photo of the lovely moment, which shows the other elephant happily returning Kaavan's trunk touch.
Aaaaawww!!!
Well done that lady.
Now that Bill Barr has finally thrown Der Trumpf under the bus by stating that there are no valid reasons to believe that Der Obergropenfuhrer had his second term in office stolen from him by Hugo Chavez, who has been dead, already, for eight fucking years. Will Der Gropenfhurer go quietly. Obviously not. Look for something very drastic and undoubtably very dangerous to happen in the final weeks of the worst presidency in the history of the United States. And the truly horrible thing is... All the Republican hacks will go along with it.
Fingers crossed...
Never wanting to be seen as a typical BDA (Big Dumb Agency) Goodby Silverstein & Partners, once again goes against the flow and is expanding during the current pandemic by opening a New York office. Whilst the majority of BDA’s are incorporating “efficiencies of scale,” adspeak for “layoffs.” GS&P NYC has hired twenty employees, including four creative teams. Good for them. Yet another example of why they have succeeded so well, producing great work for more than thirty-five years.
Guys... You haven’t changed a bit!
Ace Pseudo doctor, Scott Atlas, has just resigned from Der Trumpf’s Covid 19 “Super” task force. Based on Der Gropenfhurer’s track record, he will be replaced by either the “Pillow Wanker” or Mr. Magoo.
Better yet... Call Dr. Ivanka!!!
Yes, “The World’s Loneliest Elephant,” has landed safely in Cambodia after a seven-hour flight from Pakistan. He received a warm welcome from Cher, who will accompany him to a sanctuary housing lots of lady elephants who could become potential mates. Lucky buggar.
She even brought him a flower.
