I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
heh, I thought it was rather funny prank - so much so I might grab one of those laptop bags that keep an egg safe when the bag is dropped while that sneaky label lasts... - (found via The news section at Tom Bihn).
to me it doesn't look like the "client" they're mocking, it's just a really recognisable situation. The gal could be a graphic designer/AD and thats her boss, and apart from the words chosen, like 'logo bigger' and such, hasn't everyone met that kind of senior something boss? The kind that says "were you at the same meeting?" and rips everything apart?
I thought it was funny, but the AD sure doesn't look like the creatives around this hood - she's very corporate, so I think corporate types in all sorts of jobs 'get it'. It's the situ, not the job. ;)
The adage elert also reported this:
In addition to the raunchy
comedy stylings of the event's host, Susie Essman from Curb Your Enthusiasm, the GBU audience was treated to a seven-minute film featuring advertising's biggest admen dressed in very rough drag. The film was created by TBWA/Chiat/Day and directed by Believe Media's Nanette Burstein (The Kid Stays in the Picture) as a commentary on the dearth of women in the industry's top creative ranks. In it, creative heavyweights like Lee Clow, Steve Hayden, Gerry Graf, Ty Montague, Kevin Roddy, Jeff Kling and Mark Fenske -- their gender poorly concealed by camp wigs and heavy eye shadow -- talk about the hardships of being female creative directors.
That sounds like a rather funny film... Hehe!
Mine didn't! It carried a hilarious story "Swedish invention makes 3G obsolete" complete with nifty diagrams that if you 'shake your regular GSM phone, you'll move on up to the 3G network and can watch TV etc on your regular mobile phone'. It really had me going for a moment, the quotes from the people who were the supposed inventors were hilarious, revealing the april fools once you read half-way into the article. ;)
