We know about the wrench in the Cog - I guess we should have linked the update. willdo.
From adcritic.com's email:

After the Press & Poster jury concluded its deliberations Monday night here at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes, at last finalizing its Grand Prix
decisions, the 22 member panel burst into applause. Suddenly, according to jury president Dan Wieden, the lights in the room went out. "We knew it was a sign, but
we didn't know of what," Wieden says. "It turned out to be a sign that we had to get back to work."

Weiden is a superstitious kind of guy.
....partly in reaction against last year's outdoor grand prix winner.... Uh? Did they not realize last year that the Grand Prix poster winner was not advertised on "traditional" poster space?If the space [of a poster] has been paid for, does it matter where the poster goes? Posters inside a shop might be "point of sale" but what about the 'wild posters' plastered on building construction sites and so on? They are paid for media.
"They claimed the decision was overturned partly in reaction against last year's outdoor Grand Prix winner from Leo Burnet in Norway, for an Oslo tattoo parlour."
That campaign should have lost its Grand Prix status for being a rip-off. Same exact client, compare these images.
First up, the Grand Prix of Cannes last year, second, Missing Links campaign for the same shop in 1999. Interestingly they both hung posters on dog leash holders and other places for "piercing" a poster = same unusual media idea too!
(pierced onto dog leash holder etc)
(pierced by the staples mid-magazine)
same client, same small ad country - Norway.
This is interesting.
We just had a thread on adlist a while back about PETA's disregard for humans in their anti-stance. For example, the anti-baby-seal fur propaganda was so effective in not mentioning that seals are a staple diet and whole populations have nothing else to live off, that when the consumers refused seal, out of work hunters comitted suicide en masse.
But baby seals are cuter than grown men, right?
