One Show to Ban Scam-Ad Creators for Five Years (yes, because of that DDB WWF ad)

It's been several hours. Time for yet another update on the fallout from the Twin Tower WWF ad. Adage: In Wake of DDB Brazil Scandal, One Show to Ban Scam-Ad Creators for Five Years
Wait, what? Oh yes, they are and it reads like they took notes from the how to stop scam ads forever post at the DognPony.

The new rules and penalties were approved unanimously last night by the One Club's board of directors, who read like a who's who of ad-industry creatives, including David Droga, David Lubars, Nancy Vonk and Nick Law.
Effective beginning in 2010:
  • An agency or regional office of an agency network that enters an ad made for a nonexistent client, or made and run without a client's approval, will be banned from entering the One Show for five years.
  • The entire team credited on the "fake" entry will be banned from entering the One Show for five years.
  • An agency or regional office of an agency network that enters an ad that has run once, on late-night TV, or only because the agency produced a single ad and paid to run it itself will be banned from entering the One Show for three years.
  • two tearsheets now to prove an ad ran more than once? Not a problem.
