AdScam/The Horror!

Making America Groan Again!

Before the opening of the stock market, Der Trumpf predicted that the trade war with China would be resolved "unbelievably quickly." In its usual insane fashion, this pushed Dow futures up 151 points. However, they opened down and continued to drop. At the time of writing this, prior to my breakfast beer, the Dow is down over 150 points... MWGA... "Making Wall St Great again." It's all a fucking joke. America is coming apart at the seams.

May May disappear into the fetid night!

Theresa May has finally, fucking finally, announced that she will resign as Prime Minister on June 7th. She will, of course, remain a member of Parliament as the Brits do not elect someone to the post of PM, that is up to the ruling party. She has been PM for three years, that's one longer than Der Trumpf has been President, but both have created unbelievable problems for their respective countries. Unfortunately, we are stuck with the GropenFuhrer for another two years. That's if he doesn't start WW 111 first.

Now she can concentrate on her dancing! (Click on it)

More ad biz bullshit!

News today that MDC, the holding company that gets more fucked up by the day, has just hired a COO. This geezer, Seth Gardner, is described as a Private Equity Veteran. That's a posh description for yet another fucking bean counter. Apparently he will oversee the network’s operations, real estate portfolio, IT, human resources and benefits, as well as its centralized resources. In other words, he'll count the fucking beans. Perhaps MDC would be better served by having a Creative Portfolio rather than a real estate one.

BDHC Business Principles.

There's no biz like political biz!

So, Der Trumpf once again demonstrated that he is crazier than a shithouse rat with his performance in the Rose Garden yesterday. Walking out on "Nancy & Chuck" after less than three minutes he stood behind the Presidential dais, which had a specially prepared "No collusion... No Obstruction" sign duct taped to it, and spoke gibberish in the third person for twelve minutes. No question, the whole thing was a well prepared stunt. Infrastructure my arse. All Der GropenFuhrer cares about is saving his big fat rancid arse.

Trump releases his tax returns... Oh no, wait a minute...

No more Nuns Piss!

Sticking with beer news, did you see that the monks of Grimbergen Abbey in Belgium have started brewing a new beer from a 220 year old recipe? They hid the recipes when the Chablis swilling French revolutionaries burned down the monastery during the 1798 revolution. For years the books containing the recipes were untouched as no one could read the ancient Latin and Dutch they were written in. Finally, someone deciphered them and the resulting beer is guaranteed to get you religiously pissed at 10.8% alcohol content. Amen to that.

Fucking monks...

In-house... In-competence!

First we read that Walmart is taking the website business previously handled by WPP's Triad in house. Which means no one can produce shitty ads cheaper and those responsible for its production had better sign up for food stamps. Now, word that AB InBev is taking a big chunk of its fake beer account in house to something called "draftLine" in an effort to be closer to the creative process... Does this mean they will be able to produce even more pathetic shit like "Dilly Dilly?" Word on the street is that they are transferring hundreds of nuns from the fake brewery piss lines to the fake agency bullpens.

The workers take a fag break.

The new CEO of draftLine???

Greed is good!

As is well known, The Poisoned Dwarf richly rewarded himself whilst steering the good ship WPP through increasingly rough waters. In one year alone, 2016, he trousered one hundred million fucking dollars. All this whilst jetting around the world to give wanky speeches at wanky conferences, whilst making "executive time" rest stops in Sheppard's Market. Now he's up to the same tricks at S4, his new "Better, faster, cheaper" holding company scam. Seems like shareholder advisors Glass Lewis and ISS, are urging shareholders to vote against his potential rewards at S4’s AGM this month. That'll be a waste of time, just like it was at WPP.

Fill 'er up!

Game of Groans!

It's finally, finally over. Thank fuck. I gave up watching after series 5. To be honest, I couldn't make head nor tails of it. After Sean "Eee by gum" Bean got his head chopped off in the first series, I thought  the ever increasing death toll would mean there would be no one left by series 3. I was wrong. It just went on and fucking on. Not only couldn't I tell you what the hundreds of characters were about, I couldn't even pronounce their names. Anyway, If you want to read a hilarious round up of the show, go to "I asked someone who's never seen Game of Thrones what they think the show is about. It was useless." It's bloody marvelous... And they don't even talk about the coffee cup or plastic bottle.

Tha knows...

Oooops!

I forgot it was Friday yesterday. Here to make up...

And fuck Facebook...

King Tut would've loved him!

So, I. M. Pei, the world famous architect is dead at the ripe old age of one hundred and two. Famous for designing most of his buildings in a pyramid shape, with the most best known one being the glass pyramid for the Paris Louvre', he also designed the campus of IBM in Somers N.Y. The first time I went there for a meeting when I worked on the account for Ogilvy. We met inside one of the pyramids. As all the walls sloped at a forty five degree angle, you couldn't stick anything on them, let alone project the Power Point slides so beloved of IBM management. Consequently, the building was full of white boards on wheels. After all, you don't want to fuck with the aesthetics, do you?

Guess what I found in a broom closet?
