It's Dull Inside
http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=SrdJnerQ_uk
First couple of days back after ye olde two week holidaye.
You know the feeling. More sluggish than a slug with arthritis.
And the large pile of kappa board leaning against my desk signifies that the work that was so urgent over two weeks ago still hasn't been presented.
And no, we haven't heard anything back on that pitch we did a month ago.
So basically, sod all happened while I was away.
A desultory glance at Creative Ireland offers little of interest apart from a debate as to whether IIBBDO did the new Guinness ad "Music Machine" or not. I assume they did. I've only seen it a few times, and whilst it has all the production values you'd expect, and a reasonably interesting idea at its core, I find it a bit dull. Curiously, it brings to my mind a similar, much-derided Guinness ad from the late eighties (Arks) which also featured little yellow men.
Anyway, I'm off outside for a smoke.

Yellow Pack Guinness ad, yes. But also brings to mind Woody Allen lined up with a tube full of similarly suited gents as sperm in "Everything you ever wanted to know about sex ...". Not exactly the kind of cream I'd want to be thinking about as I lift the dark cup to my lips ... Different target market, perhaps? Who remembers Tony Kaye's groundbreaking pre viral vbiral for Guinness:
