I get what they were going for but what are your thoughts on 'Be Stupid' being the campaign name? How do you possibly get the higher-ups to agree to something like this? Whether it was when I worked in agencies or as a freelancer, I've never gotten a green light on any outrageous or avant-garde ideas I've proposed. Is there a hack to get it done? :P
