As you may have guessed from my previous posts, Dave Balls is a creative guru, knowledgeable about all things advertising. Like Trevor Beattie, only with a decent haircut. And without the silly fucking accent.
So, ask me a bastard question or petty problem and through the power of the Internet, your query will be answered - probably.
Whether you gets an answer depends on a number of things:
1. Dave Balls knows the answer.
Although let's face it, when has that ever stopped someone in a client meeting spouting on for what seems like hours without saying anything of any god-damn relevance?
2. It is a decent bloody question.
I'm not answering any old bollocks.
3. Dave Balls gives a shit.
Dave Balls is busy doing ads not sat around waiting for you and your pointless fucking questions.

ReplyDeleteChrist on a bike, how fucking hard is it to moderate comments. Damn the Internet. Anyway.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
If your CD is changing your ideas for the better then shut the fuck up.
Otherwise do what Dave Balls did once. Write 'I know Jack-shit-bollocks about advertising' on the underside of his/her desk. This will make sod all difference, but at least will make you feel better.
At the end of the day, this is the kind of crap that goes on, grin and bear it. Or move jobs. If you're such a fucking genius you should have no trouble.
Im thrilled to have secured a university place studying advertising and marketing in a UK uni but am riddled with the dilemma of the morals in producing advertising were i to get a job in it e.g. advertising can be extremely hegemonious, it can exploit peoples weaknesses and can create societies where it appears that 'having is better than being'... could i please have you opinion on this topic? thanks very much!
ReplyDeleteJames, James, James. It seems to Dave Balls that you have a conscience. Now this means you have a choice. The first is join Green Peace and ram big ships in small inflatables then moan when your mate falls overboard and gets sucks into the propeller. The second is become an ad-man and do ads to promote Green Peace to a wider audience. You will of course only be doing this in the slim hope you can win an award on the back of someone’s or something’s suffering. You whining little shite.
ReplyDeleteAs for exploiting people’s weakness? Well, if you get a job and that’s a big if, especially if you use words like hegemonious (no one likes a student smart arse and even my spell check doesn’t know that word) you will probably be doing flyers for ‘buy one get one free on Jaffa Cakes’ at the local supermarket, so that shouldn’t pose too much of a moral dilemma.
I realise that I haven’t answered your question, but let that be a lesson from Dave Balls. When you don’t know the answer talk bollocks for a few minutes. It will get you through advertising life.
