Kill Campbel

See how unpopular you or the agency or the client you work for, are.

[Please Note These Links Are Not For People Of A Nervous Disposition]

Apparently I’m a fetid, puss oozing c**t that give c**ts anywhere a bad name – though I am hoping [or deluding myself] that they actually mean my RKCR namesake.

Though I doubt it. *

I have to say, whilst part of me finds this sort of thing amusing … calling a bunch of people a bunch of names behind a mask of anonymity isn’t very big, clever or brave … especially as the ultimate revenge would be to take their anger and create something with it that makes the people who upset them choke on their views.

But hey, who am I kidding … we live in a World where the ‘illusion of gratification’ is for many people, good enough – though I’d love to know what the real reasons are for people slagging others off, just to see if it was justified or another example of the entitlement generation throwing their toys out of the pram.

I’m all for giving people with genuine grievances a platform to speak out without the risk of ‘corporate revenge’ … but what so many blogs and sites like this are actually doing is pandering to the ‘has been, never was’ fraternity … people who feel hard done for not getting the rewards or respect they believe they are due, even though they’ve never done anything to actually earn it.

Of course adland is one of those rare industries that can – and sometimes does – promote the insipid and the talentless to positions of ridiculous importance … but it appears to me that many of the comments are more to do with personal revenge than anything with real substance.

* Thanks for nominating me Andy

what do you mean youre only mentioned once? i submitted your name at least 60 fucking times. technology always has it in for me. piece of shit.

Comment by andy@cynic

As someone renowned for his positivity and hesitation to criticise, I can only say that I find this all very distasteful. Why can’t we all just be friends and respect each other’s mindless inanities?

Comment by John

are you working at google doddsy? youre nicey nicey bollocks sounds exactly what fucking happens to george and campbell when theyre in the vicinity. those bastards at mountain view are corporate fucking ecstacy.

Comment by andy@cynic

and youre in danger of sounding mature campbell, which is all very fucking well but you have done more evil than this website. remember the fake roberts email? fucking evil. pure fucking genius evil.

Comment by andy@cynic

It might be uncool to say, but I don’t like this.

Being able to post comments with anonymity has led to the worst of people coming out, expressing purely aggressive views for no other reason than they can.

It’s no different to the pack like behavior of football hooligans and just as focused on causing as much pain and sorrow as they can, regardless of what has happened or being discussed.

The commentators no doubt think they’re tough and someone to be reckoned with but they’re not, they’re idiots who don’t have the talent or justification to debate an issue using their name.

I hate it and support John’s view whether he was being serious or not.

Comment by Pete

I’m in full agreement with you Pete. This isn’t about humour, it’s cheap and cowardly revenge for circumstances that may live only in the head of the author.

Comment by Lee Hill

I wonder if doctors have a similar website to vent their frustrations. Fortunately that site will probably be completely forgotten about in a few weeks.

Comment by rafik

Actually a DR/Nurse/Teacher version would be amusing, at least they’d be [probably] more justified in their distain …

Obviously I’m all for venting – but random, unsubstantiated and annon abuse is pretty pathetic and demonstrates the ‘justification’ for the anger is less about ‘issues’ and more about ‘ego’.

Comment by Rob

There’s a difference between venting and personal abuse.

Comment by John

I only use the “C” word in extreme cases….people in Europe use it with reckless abandon. (Although I certainly know a few C’s here!) But I agree, if you don’t have the balls to put your name on such shit, then don’t say it. Is Andy your brother? He must be related!! 🙂

Comment by adchick

I am sitting at my desk with 2 lovely and talented ladies who are violating the air with the “c” word.

Why does this make me proud?

Comment by Rob

Thinking of women as lovely first and talented as an afterthought?

Comment by John

No wonder theyre using the c word.

Comment by John

Given I rang you up and got them to say the ‘C-word’ to you, you know I’m working with hard ass bitches.

[But not in the rap sense of the word … the Maggie Thatcher versions. But delightful. Obviously.]

Comment by Rob

Just for you John: http://tinyurl.com/yyokw2v

Comment by Rob

Though Kaichin has just said – with a surprised voice – “But you’re not on here Robert”.

Great career limiting move …

Comment by Rob

Is Andy my brother? IS ANDY MY BROTHER???

That is the most insulting thing anyone has ever said to me … and what’s worse, he’s a wanker cockney southerner and I’d rather die than come from there. Seriously adchick, please refrain from such insults or please place them on the dodgy blog referred to on this post, not on this blog. Ha.

Comment by Rob

HA! You’re having way more fun than I am, obviously. I gotta get the hell outta Hooterville…surrounded by redneck and militia. UGH.

Comment by adchick

It’s not fun … it’s a daily battle.

Comment by Rob

Don’t worry, i’m a has been/never was and i think you’re okay sometimes

Comment by northern

Stop trying to be humble … you’re Mr Planner for fucks sake! If you keep that up, you may find yourself on the list.

Comment by Rob

Rob and Andy are brothers! This all makes perfect sense. Kind of like finding out that He-Man and She-Ra are brothers.

The real question is, which one of you is the girl?

Comment by Sam Ismail

not hard to work out sam. the planner is always the big fucking girls blouse but even if he looked like megan fucking fox i wouldnt want to be related to him but thats because if he looked like megan fucking fox i wouldnt want issues of being related from stopping me shagging him/her.

i feel fucking sick at what ive just written.

Comment by andy@cynic

Rob as Megan Fox, there’s a Photoshop job in there somewhere. I’m off to watch fucking Transformers, with a sick bag.

Happy times.

Comment by Sam Ismail

Literally shuddering

Comment by northern

the image in my mind is fucked enough without making it happen with photoshop. is any computer powerful enough to make that sick shit vision happen? theres definitely not enough fucking drugs to make me think itll ever be a good idea.

this is your fucking fault ismail, you belong on the c list for it.

Comment by andy@cynic

The question is why isn’t there a fucking app for that? I refuse to take the blame for this one. But I probably am on the c list for this shit. And other shit.

Don’t watch Transformers after reading this thread. Trust me.

Comment by Sam Ismail

dont feel too bad sam, the thought of campbell in a dress makes an evening with gary glitter look like a fun night for all the fucking family.

Comment by andy@cynic

Watch Jennifer’s Body instead, that’ll take it to a whole new level

Comment by northern

Comment by andy@cynic

Excellent. Will download that shit right now.

Comment by Sam Ismail
