AdScam/The Horror!

All set for the Super Bowl?

Yes, tomorrow is the big day. You can watch the 400-pound warriors crash into each other whilst incurring injuries that will probably dramatically shorten their lives, Buy, hey, they are making the big bucks for their dependents. You can also watch the star laden commercials that have already been on YouTube for weeks. And as I never cease to tell. You... It’s a game with 60 minutes play time that lasts for five hours or more. The winners claim to be “World champions” even though it's only played  by American teams, and they get to go to Disneyland.

Yes, indeed!!!

It's T.G.I.K.M.F. Again!!!

Enjoy...

Artificial Impotence...

Steve Wozniak had a few choice words for the fucktards who’d paid thousands to attend NBCUniversal’s developer conference this week, or as host Jimmy Fallon described it... “Nerd Coachella.” When asked about his thoughts on current frenzy... “AI.” Woz replied... "I believe in the 'A,' but the 'I' is not intelligence to me. It will never equal the human intuitiveness and that sort of thing. We can teach machines to do some tasks for we humans," he continued, "AI -- artificial intelligence -- is only to help us humans. We're not going to create things that somehow hurt us."

Mmmm... Wanna bet?

Super Snore Sunday...

The ad trades never give up on their pathetic attempts to whip up enthusiasm for Sunday’s Super Bowl. As AdWeek so subtly puts it... "If you're anything like us, you know the best part about Super Bowl Sunday is the commercials. What's the Big Game without the awe-inspiring, funny-bone tickling, and tear-jerking Super Bowl ads?” Hey wankers... All those funny-bone ticklers have been running for weeks, and the vast majority are not “funny-bone ticklers.” They’re shit. Plus, I have no desire to watch a sport that has 60 minutes playing time, yet it can last for more than five hours.

Watch a real game...

Weird Shit...

With all the fuss going on about chatbots such as ChatGPT, news just in that they are not perhaps as smart as we think. A couple of researchers with nothing better to do, have discovered a cluster of strange keywords such as “SolidGoldMagikarp” that will break ChatGPT, and nobody's quite sure why. These keywords—or "tokens," which serve as ChatGPT’s base vocabulary—include Reddit usernames and at least one participant of a Twitch-based Pokémon game. When ChatGPT is asked to repeat these words back to the user, it is unable to, and instead responds in several strange ways, including evasion, insults, bizarre humor, pronunciation, or spelling out a different word entirely. When asked the meaning of this curiosity, Chat GPT replied... “You’re a jerk.” So, in a way, it is becoming more human.

SolidGoldMagikarp... Explained!

 

Same old... Same old...

Showing us how fucked up the current ad biz is, news from Britain that major department store John Lewis has put its account up for review and the current agency, Adam and Eve/DDB, has declined to pitch for the account. This after doing many years of great work for the client that has been recognized as the very best in its category. Why is this happening? “Cos there’s a new CMO for the store... And as is usual... A new broom sweeps clean. I guarantee you... That the result will be shit, and based on the average CMO’s tenure track records... She’ll be gone in a couple of years.

Nothing new here.

How to get expensively pissed whilst watching the Super Bowl.

As I have recently posted, the fact that Serena Williams will be trousering millions for punting both a Nun’s Piss almost alcohol-free beer and a high end uber expensive Cognac. A ridiculous juxtaposition, to say the least. Plus, do ya think that the average football fan is a connoisseur of $100 a bottle Remy Martin?  Whoever the agency is, they should have their arse kicked black and blue for even suggesting it.

This one costs$250!

Super Bowl Sanity... Or, the lack thereof.

As a change from the many celebrity claptrap commercials that will appear during the Super Bowl, Bayer aspirin is running a spot pointing out that “Heart attack risk can more than double when your home team plays.” Holy shit, there’s a nice comforting message for fans of Philadelphia and Kansas City to contemplate whilst sipping their Nun’s Piss and scoffing nachos. The spot shows images of nervous and excited fans on the verge of a heart attack. They should have used celebrities and induced real heart attacks.

Not one for your “show reel.”

The Poisoned Dwarf Dreams...

While some companies issue celebrity laden yawn inducing “teasers” of their upcoming Super Bowl spots. Sorrell’s S4 Capital has issued a teaser for its upcoming full-year 2022 financial report. According to the Poisoned Dwarf everything in the garden is projected to be loverrrrrly. Although, based on last years totally fucked up results... Who the fuck knows?

Hey... I’m in the fucking garden!

Poor... Poor... M.T.G.

I’m sure that all AdScamer’s were as shocked and dismayed as I was to discover that Marjorie Taylor Greene is having difficulties to live on her paltry congressional salary of a mere $174,000. The poor bugger claims she has lost money ever since she was elected. But not to worry, help is at hand. Her new “Best Friend Forever,” George Santos, is organizing a Go-Fund-Me campaign for her. Based on his unmatched track record, she shouldn’t expect any money from it, but he will put all those MAGA Dollars to good use in one of his many magnificent mysterious personal charities.

I’ll keep the money, but I’ll always love you.
