1. Truth be told, quitting has been on my mind for a while. Will I continue to puss out or will I subject myself to the next batch of unsatisfing work? We'll have to wait and see. Now will i go out with Bohemian Rhapsody? Or shall I choose another tune for my deliverance? Hmmmmmmmmmm
2. That's not a T'aint, that's a T'is.
3. So is this the new rapcore, or is he jsut a Red hop/ Hip Neck? Truth be told, he just looks like a Paul Bunyan who downed way too much courvoisier.
4. DisEEZs2pid.com
5. Love the stickers
6. Seriously, we need to get a fundraiser going to get some of these people laid. Seriously, do we need to fight THAT much..... coming from me it's just so aweomely hypocritical but I can't help but contradict myself :D
7. Hey if you get him shoes for xmas you'll save half off. Ok so that was cruel, vicious, and low, but this ad does seem a bit too much since I'm pretty sure smoking wasn't the only problem skip had. Smoking could actually be the red herring or who knows, maybe I'm doubly wrong for having made an asshole joke in regards to a case where the exclusive cause of illness is smoking. I dunno but I do admit to being a tad skeptical. i do think people should smoke less or just quit, but sensationalistic advertising is pushing to make this issues into a parody in and of itself.
8. I love that car
9. So they're mythological?
10. My main problem is caring yet having a client not care if I care and having other people not care about caring. Having this art director on a team is a blessing but having shitty clients while containing said passion might be a curse.
11. I only have one to say to Amazon which is the same as what some people say about print being dead.... blow me.
12. Being a fan of these holiday movies I openly offer my services to tar and feather or simply lynch the bastards that raped my childhood to make a shitty ad.
13. So now it's a rough draft?
14. Awards yipeee.... I think I'd rather watch someone put that damn pencil in a microwave, hit 3 min on high and stare at the wonderful light show.
15. Some of the items are actually quite interesting. I just got some shoddy eggnog for my troubles. Haraumph
The internet isn't ready ... the web is the new TV? Oof! What a thought! Those lines are a harsh wake-up call, that maybe our debates at the keyboard are really the vicarious stone-gaze of lost souls glaring at the new boob tube. All this technology and we've turned into children again, staring at the adult version of Spongebob Squarepants.
I prefer to believe that the web is an enabling device that accelerates the intelligence of debates (if the forums are relatively smaller today). Now, millions of people can act like Plato, but our thoughts may never last a millennium. Maybe the act of creation is enough.
If it doesn't work, we can always go back to the tube.
Or the YouTube.
;-p
