Do you or don't you?
Shameless outdoor plug for David Nobay's favourite Oz ad blog.
Ironic post modern in-joke for Aussie ad creatives?
OR
Lazy borrowed interest in search of a real idea?
I know which side of the fence I'm sitting on.
What about you?

They even got the typeface wrong!
How does a 28-year-old creative director compare with (in the original Economist campaign) a 42-year-old management trainee?
They are ironically, hilariously, unwittingly showing the world their stupidity, not to mention the ironic worthlessness of the blog; by implying a 28-year-old has become CD by not wasting time reading Campaign Brief's blog.
"Lazy borrowed interest in search of a real idea"
Says it all really
I is looking for the warmness in this - I not finding it. No warmness = coldness of fishy.
Advertising is like maggots feeding on the corpse of capitalism.
Karl Marx
Or should that be - feeding on itself?
When does homage become a simple ripoff?
Message I got from original Economist ad: Slow movers don't read The Economist.
Message I get from this rendition: Fast movers don't read the Campaign Brief's blog.
Result: I'm confused. Maybe it's an inside joke by the advertisers to themselves and their circle of friends. Or maybe they are stupid and they don't know it. Or maybe they're very clever and I don't get it. Do you get it?
