The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

i agree age its a fucking blight on society. when will campbell learn he should keep his film direction ideas to himself. oh you mean youre slagging off the ogilvy shite? fuck. well thats total fucking pants as well isnt it. alright campbell i like the pisstaking and its nice to see youre ready for a ruck but picking on the child of the dad who already hates you is either billy big balls of mr twathead which is why if its the former i support you and lawd you as a combat king and if its the latter i dont know who the fuck you are and will you please stop bothering me.

well done campbell i like it and im proud now leave the hairy greeks alone and go after the big noises not the kebab eaters that know no better

Why don’t you guys call Sunshine cynic and be done with it? It’s lovely Robert, sums up the reaction going around the net nicely though I am ashamed to say it but I did catch myself humming the Ogilvy song in the shower a couple of days ago. I scrubbed my tongue with soap for 10 minutes but the devils music is designed to get inside your soul and ruin you. 🙂

Regardless whether you find the Ogilvy tune acceptable or feel the intent was genuine, the reaction to the “tribute” within the industry has been so negative that if I were a shareholder of WPP, I would be asking whether this was done with the shareholders best interests at heart.

An excellently mischievous response Robert, as I have said many times before, I am happy you are on our side.

It’ll be a short war – it is only a matter of days before they release a statement claiming it was all a joke that none of us got.
Regardless, I will do my part and forward it to everyone I know.

Gung ho and praying for war.

I thought you’d be happy to know I’ve already been sent links to your “sick flicks” from people at TBWA, BBH and the 180 and they weren’t even aware you had anything to do with them.

Comment for Lee: could anyone ever find that tune acceptable?

First insulting email received from an obvious Ogilvy employee … though to be fair, even they admitted the Athens thing was a total travesty. 🙂

Sorry PETER DOMINIC, but your email was like being pelted by cotton wool balls – you really must try harder if you want to upset me.

Besides, if you looked at what we’re saying, you’d know we really rate David Ogilvy, it’s what his agency has become that we’re questioning.

Yes, yes … you do have some fantastic guys who work there – producing the odd bit of sheer bloody greatness – and thank god for that because without them, your PR/hype machine wouldn’t be able to keep the illusion alive for much longer.

Still, you’re agency is way better than how Bill Bernbach would regard his company if he came back to life, so stop your whining and start getting back to what you and me know you’re capable of.

And take away all A/V equipment from your Athens office for all our sakes. 🙂

having had a think (?) about it (my initial default reaction was to applaud the idea) I feel you are killing fredo instead of going after micheal.

If the work they have done for clients is good (i.e. making clients money in not to stupid ways), let them be (the bible said something about being nice to the meek), if the work is shite, go after them + the CLIENTS.

Naming and shaming people won’t work unless the paymaster feels the pain. (hence the thing about becoming a b to c thing)

As for respecting the legacy, it’s the legacy that killing them, in general. Think, sean lennon, jakob dylan, jordy cruijff, atina onassis, etc…decent, even good, but by comparison shite

Death by legacy, fuck commision. They should have fucking retired the fucking name when the old git rolled into heaven/or hell in his rolls at 60 miles per hour..(but no, brand equity was at stake, not qual of work).

Would be nice to see how many agecies would survive without the legacy names, not many I think, but the ones who did would suprise us with the work..So let’s help adworld by retiring the names Ogilvy DDB, JWT, and the lot of them..(let’s see where W+B, or CPB are in 60 years)

I have been awake for 32 hours and in no shape to be writing, but I like giros

Now for all I care the whole fucking agency gets spoonfed ogilvy’s books via their anus, but this is incrowd stuff. tomorrow fish wrapping. the big game is the client side, the rest is instrumental shit

i said that last bit with love

what the fuck is wrong with you people? sure its a fucking outpost so the bigwigs couldnt give a fuck what the kebab folk do in their own time but when theyre claiming they practice ogilvys founding principals (which the bigwigs would know about because they encourage international ‘ogilvy day’ at all their offices) but dont even know how many letters are in the alphabet then its ripe for corporate piss taking and campbell should be celebrated not bashed. why dont you all go back to your fucking monastries and pray to the god of fucking beige and nice. you are beginning to sound like campbell after a week at mountain view 🙂

Andy starting fights in empty houses again … 🙂
