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.

Happy Anniversary!

Ironically along with Anna's wisdom today- I am celebrating (a bit early) today as well. The 75th Anniversary of the start of the one and only Leo Burnett. Leo Burnett started "The Burnett Co." August 6th, 1935 and since created a crazy amount of iconic characters and tag lines. Everything from the Jolly Green Giant to "Don't Get Mad, Get Glad".

75 years and still going strong. Congratulations to Leo Burnett. Check out a nice little article that was in today's Chicago Tribune. And for everyone's benefit-- get lost in the Leo Burnett website. This is hands down my favorite agency site. I find something new and profound every time I'm on. And hey- drawing with the pencil is pretty fun too!
