    Thank, John. I laughed about this one and watched it a few times. It's esoteric, but fun for those of us in the biz!

    What makes this so funny to me, is the suggestion of the rage just below the surface of a marketing guy. You EXPECTED Col Jessup to blow up - the man is a warrior, he needs to explode with violent rage - at least some point in his career - to do his job.

    The funniest thing to me is the suspection that all of the marketing/communications/advertising types I have pissed off over the years, have a similar rage just below the surface. Their career doesn't really allow it but somehow, you think that they wish it did.

    I am sure that like many people, you have given that speech in the shower or in the in car or just inside your head. Now, Frank, you have two versions to choose from.

    Bill, the only rage I get is when people don't understand that 5 lbs of sand won't fit in a 2lb bag. It is funny...I'm glad my cartoon balloon isn't visible sometimes, though.

    Oh, so good !
    My most bizarre brush with folks like this (believe it, please!) was during a stint with a state gov't agency when a couple of frustrated wannabe marketing clones decided that a poster and a logo (in that order!) needed to be developed. (Most likely they had bombed out of private sector marketing.) Three months later and countless wasted hours of 'underlings' time and effort resulted in a poster-in-search-of-a-logo being brought forward to the top agency person for approval to use in an in-house pilot program ! Thank goodness, a lightning strike occurred and the top person looked questioningly at the ersatz 'marketers' and said "NO".
    BTW: No appropriated or tax funds can be used by state agencies for such purposes, a detail overlooked by the wannabe marketers in their zeal.

    Regina, wow, that's quite a story, but sadly there are too man frustrated wannabe marketers out there. Everyone with a pen thinks he or she is a creative. I'm glad the top person said no...that needs to happen A LOT more often.

    LOL about the use of tax money. All bets are off when amateurs think they're going to get their day in the creative sun.
