Fear, Loathing, Selling Things

Didn't I see an ad like this in some 80s dystopian scifi movie on cable late one night? "Fear Up" and "Pride and Ego Down" are supposedly techniques used by torturers in our recent military actions. I guess the ad agency working for Hummer got the memo.



Here's a quote from a former head of Citigroup: "If plutonomy continues, which we think it will, if income inequality is allowed to persist and widen, the plutonomy basket should continue to do very well".

It's not all just argy bargy politics with me. Absences can only be explained by spending a lot of time shooting lately. I just directed my first ad, which went well. We're just finishing up in editorial now. Despite the gloom and doom I persistently write about, eating a Thanksgiving meal and then watching Ratatouille with your loved ones makes up for it. Hope you all had the same warmth and comfort this year. Promise to start blogging again...
