The thing I hate most about advertising is...


From Bryan over at Room 116.

Banksy is perhaps the world's most famous and notorious (He's wanted in two countries) graffiti artist.

The art world gets all the self obsessed kids?
Um, are you aware of how many ad award shows there are today? How many websites there are that cater strictly to ad Creatives trying to show off for one another? The pathetic lengths to which even Senior Creatives will go to get fake ads produced purely so they can enter them into the shows?

The art world may get the slow folks, but no one except maybe Hollywood tops the ad world for self-obsession. No one.

Trust me, Bansky, if even half of these exposure-at-any-cost yahoos were plying their trade in the art world instead of in advertising, you'd be begging the ad biz to take them back.

I'm sorry cd, but I must agree with Banksy on this one. And I don't really think that he would be begging the ad biz to take these kids back...he doesn't seem like that kind of a person through what I've read of his.
