AdScam/The Horror!

It’s Halloween... Another fake American holiday!!!

When I first came to America, I went into my New York bank and was surprised to seel all the people who worked there dressed were dress as wizards, witches and giant peanuts. I asked one of them what was going on. Oh, she replied, it’s a holiday, it’s Halloween. I replied, well if it’s a holiday, why are you all still working? She didn’t get it. When I was a kid, long before you where all born, we didn’t do Halloween, we did Guy Fawkes day. We didn’t do candy either, ‘cos there was none through the war. Instead we asked for a “A penny for the Guy.” If they didn’t give us one, after they had closed the door, we peed on their step.

Ah, the good old days!

Typepad isn't loading pictures... Fucktards!!!

 

 

Fingers crossed!

This is a trial post to see if Typepad has finally got its act together. Do you think any of the MAGA “Morans” blaming Biden for high gas prices noticed that yesterday record profits from oil giants Chevron and Exxon Mobil were announced? These fuckers are making billions. If Republican fucktards take over what's left of the government, they’ll be making trillions.

My monster truck is thirsty...

No T.G.I.K.M.F. yet!!!

For some unexplained reason, Typepad is acting up again and will not load images. This means that I can’t blog any of the loverrrrly images from my huge collection of Kate pictures. So T.G.I.K.M.F. will be on hold until the fucktards at Typepad get their act together. Hopefully, it won’t be long!!!

Loverrrrly!!!

Musk Muscles In...

Two days ago. I wrote a post “The shit hits the wall on Friday” about Elon “I am the world’s richest Fascist” Musk completing his Twitter buy-out and starting his firing spree on that day. Actually, he began a day early. After closing the deal Thursday, he strolled into the company's San Francisco headquarters carrying a porcelain sink, changed his Twitter profile to "Chief Twit," and tweeted "Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!" Then he fired Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and Vijaya Gadde, head of legal policy, trust, and safety. Musk had accused the three of misleading him and investors over the number of fake accounts on the platform. Boy, he doesn’t waste time does he.

But there’s always time for Ganja!!!

Typepad is not uploading images... Fucktards!!!

 

I’m back!!!

In case you are wondering about the scarcity of posts in the last couple of days, Typepad, which hosts AdScam has been down while they fucked around updating the servers, or whatever. It’s back up now so I’ll be back on schedule. Ya think maybe they have been raided by the Metaverse???

Didn’t disrupt the breakfast beer though.

The shit hits the wall on Friday.

According to news reports, Elon Musk has until Friday to complete his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter. This means that any AdScamer’s who currently work at Twitter will not only be enjoying Kate on T.G.I.K.M.F.... They should also be wary of B.L.A.A.T.S. “Big Layoffs Are About To Start.” Never forget that you heard it here first!!!

Musk can’t wait to start kicking arse...

 

 

 

Booze Newz!!!

With the news that the media business for Pernod-Ricard has moved its US account, I am reminded of when I worked on the Ricard account back in my Mad Man days, back in the sixties. The company was founded by Paul Ricard in 1932. Rumor has it that he stole the recipe for his Pastis from a Provencal shepherd, building it into a multi-million Franc company. I had to visit him on his island, Bandor. You had to go by boat from Marseilles. As we approached the island. Standing on the jetty wearing a cloak and a tri-cornered hat was Paul. All five foot of him. Yes, he had a Napoleon complex. But when you’re filthy rich, you can do that.

Paul painted this. He also had a da Vinci complex!

 

Go Gord Go!!!

Sticking with MediaPost... A site well worth checking out every day... A column by Gord Hotchkiss, ends up with this eloquent bit... Look advertisers, I get that it’s getting harder and harder to get our attention with your ads. That’s probably because we don’t want to give it to you, and – increasingly – we don’t have to. If that sounds harsh, it’s because you’ve burnt out any goodwill you might have had by sledgehammering us over the head with poorly executed, ham-fisted ads delivered ad-nauseum without any concern for our experience on the receiving end. That will be true on any platform you choose to deliver those ads on.

Good shit Gord!!!

Be warned!!!

If you are a copywriter at a BDA, best to immediately start looking for another way of making a living. Why so? ‘Cos over at MediaPost there’s a very interesting article about a hugely successful copywriter who shares readers with details about his vocation as a “creatorpreneur” and all the wonderful things he does to encourage and enthuse his 3 million followers on YouTube. Thing is though, he ain’t a flesh and bones writer, he’s an AI system called Lex. Hey guys... It isn’t the future... It’s now.

He even works through lunch.
