Meh.
It's clear that the stickers don't stick on salad heads. And I believe that those stickers only exist on these items that have been photographed, and that sign is on the inside of a bathroom door at their own office.
It's like one of those L
The part of this ad that really bugs me is the "Mohammed's mosque" sign on the damned building - now any old building that looks like that isn't necessarily a mosque (where the hell are the minarets towers first of all?) but this one has a sign that says it is. The domed roof could have been a school, a library or anything had that sign not read "mosque" in Arabic.
Now who is that Arabic text benefiting? Not the non-Arabic reading target market of politicians and army dudes who read the pubs wher this ad ran. It can only offend those who read arabic. So why choose that building with that sign? That's my main problem with it. It's just a dumb move. Visually all they wanted to say was "Osprey in action" and a domed building is appropriate since the latest wars have been going on in areas where domed buildings are everywhere. Domed building does not always = mosque. I kinda wanna chalk that one up to "short sighted art director".
May I guess the pay? 4 United states dollars per post.
I'm basing this assumption on the leaked Weblogs INC contract that spilled out on the web via the accidental hedonist who considered writing for a food blog.
The thing that really gets to me about that is that these "Blog media networks" who spawn blogs on every topic seem to all value many short post-bursts over quality posts, and this becomes quite obvious in the paying scheme of Weblogs Inc. I read blogs as they filter out the advertising news that is interesting so that I don't have to keep up with the Adages, adweeks, Award shows, Brandweeks and general gossip around the ad-world all by myself. I don't have the time! Any blog that posts everything from all of the above is not doing it's job - as I see it - properly. Filter the news to a nicely distilled drink for me please, and tell me something that the other large outlets don't know once in a while.
Oh wait, I just described Adland to the T. This is why you are still the one and only. All IMHO of course.Speaking of Weblogs INC, didn't they offer to buy the domain adrag.com?
The funniest part of the press release at Quark is the headline:
Show everyone why I’m different . Riiiight.Did they hire Logoworks to design the new logo?
