Babbling Point

Bitter Brew
Ah, well, it was just a matter of time and a question of what will piss off people that will make them decide to set-up their own little gig.
I'm talking about the person who set-up a new message board for ad agency creatives because they didn't like the way I deleted certain messages and message threads and how I gagged some people because they we're either too rude or irritating.

The new cafe will supposedly be uncensored and, I have to admit, the moderator did come up with a more organized selection of threads.

The moderator said, that in her cafe, people can say anything they want about anybody, any ad, any agency, in any manner they want... upholding freedom of speech and all that.

Well, I guess my mother didn't bring me up that way. I just hate it when people quarrel. I'm all for a heathly debate but I just don't have the stomach for mud-slinging.

It's only a matter of time before someone in the other cafe gets pissed because of someone or some thread and will decide to open up his/her own message board.

I keep remembering that story about how the Filipino's in New York just couldn't agree on how to celebrate the Philippines 100th Independence Day, so they split-up into two groups and had separate celebrations. Stupid.

Well, as a great man once again, you can't please all the people all the time.

I just wonder how long cc: Cafe Creatives will last. It has left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths, especially mine. I think my 15 minutes are just about up. But let's see how things go in the next couple of months. If people stop going to the cafe, then it isn't really that hard to press the DELETE button on all of this.

It's 1am.
Time to log-off.

Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living ...

The Mini Manifesto

LET'S BURN THE MAPS. Let's get lost. Let's turn right when we should turn left. Let's read fewer car ads and more travel ads. Let's not be back in ten minutes. Let's hold out until the next rest stop. Let's eat when hungry. Let's drink when thirsty. Let's break routines, but not make a routine of it. LET'S MOTOR.™ This is the copy for the MINI “Let’s Motor” campaign. The creatives who created this campaign said they weren’t just writing copy on how great it would be to own a Mini, they were writing a manifesto, a way of life for people who drive a Mini. I just love how the copy has rhythm, how it just flows and rolls off the tongue, how it just wants you to go out and drive and just keep driving. Makes me also wish I could write copy like that. More wonderful copy ads can be found at: http://www.libraryofmotoring.info/miniprintads.html
