"I think advertising is poison gas. Advertising should tear you up, it should choke you, you should get the chills and maybe you should pass out when you're watching." - George Lois
We couldn't agree more. The ad-world fuels our endless curiosity for what moves people to do what they do, how we can invade people's homes and lives, and how, at the end of the day, we can convince people to buy more crap they don't need. Like poison gas, this shit's in our veins...pervades our lives and every waking (and sometimes sleeping) thoughts.

Not so fast, the grass may not be greener...
Luke Sullivan, whose book "Hey Whipple, Squeeze This!" I was forced to read in college, added an interesting essay to his blog today on agency-envy and the whiners that love to partake in it. As I had long suspected, hot-shops like CP+B and W+K also have their fair share of unsexy crap to wade through. So, moral of the story? Be careful what you wish for, and if your job really sucks, then leave...just don't expect a sexy agency on your resume to fix all the problems.
