Ad folks talking to themselves.

Also find it odd when agencies (proactively) revive another agency’s iconic work. It’s like they want to write themselves into its legacy.

Worst sequel ever? They revived a spot only ad nerds know and removed what made us love it.

I think it’s alright. It certainly won’t have the impact of the original, but at least it’s not offensively bad, which is more than I can say about most ads.

I always thought that bit was left unsaid. No one in their right mind would pass on a great lamp like that.

I spend 2 hours a day being productive and the rest of the time watching Netflix/Hulu/etc or napping/eating.

Have been doing this for 3 months now and I continue to get positive feedback from everyone. I can do this for another year (duration of my project) and no one will say anything.

Had to get that off my chest. Life is so nice/on easy mode these days 😬
