Talk shit... Do shit... Create shit!

For years, people in the ad biz have talked shit, placing great faith in their ability to throw around multi-syllable words that mean fuck all. Remember when JWT announced they were no longer an ad agency, but were now "Cultural... Continue reading

Nike does a Trump!

Congratulations to the US women for winning the World Cup... But a huge smelly raspberry to Nike for the truly awful, jingoistic, nationalistic, bombastic TV spot they have produced to celebrate the achievement. All it needs is a picture of... Continue reading

Don't leave a light on Donald!

On the one hand I'm a bit pissed that America beat England in the semi-final of the World Cup. On the other, I'm happy for the Americans. Everything I've read about this team sets them up as a splendid bunch... Continue reading
