Am I the only person in the fucking universe that thinks this whole CGC (Consumer Generated Crap) is starting to get out of control? Seems like CBS has kicked off a promotional campaign with YouTube called 15 Seconds, through which the network is inviting Web users to post 15-second inspirational messages on the popular video sharing site. What the fuck is an Inspirational message? Will we see lots of eggs frying in a pan while some wanker tells me that’s my brain on Boddingtons? Will a Britney look-alike lecture pubescent girls not to flash their naked crotches in the playground… Oh, and of course, here’s the ultimate yawn… These user-submitted clips will be aired on CBS during specified intervals, with the first debuting during CBS’ pregame coverage of the Super Bowl. During the promotion, CBS will choose five noteworthy clips to post on CBS.com, and then judges will select the best clip among those five for its broadcast potential at least once per quarter. The five winners will then be offered Global Creative Director jobs at Y&R, CP+B, JWT, BBD&O and O&M. All the losers will be offered jobs at Draft/FCB.
You can stick those jobs up your ass... I'm starting my own shop. Generate that Madison Avenue!
