You have a new career writing ad copy! Why be subtle when you can trash the competition with some well-chosen words and images. Now I want to see the art that illustrates one of those as I imagine it winning the cartoon contests similar to Robert Reich or The New Yorker. Really, the latter might accept one if it wouldn't be threatened with a libel suit for defamation. Regardless, good work. You now have me thinking about how to have the big Budweiser Clydesdales trampling cases of the competition. Thanks, Chris, for a good start for my Friday morning! PS I see the litte TM by the Scortt paper tissue but not the others. The others may come after you for copyright infringement. I have a story about that to share with you sometime, not here in the public domain!

I think you’re on to something. I’m serious. We like to talk a lot about authenticity in advertising. It’s time ad agencies practice what they preach. Authenticity is as authenticity does, damn it! Kudos Chris for holding our hypocritical feet to the fire.
