hes right about women
Spoon thats def you
once you start reading one of his ads you cannot put it down until you've read the whole thing. No matter how long.
And he loathes visual puns, which i do too.
he's setting up his own awards show by the way.
He also did fake ads for an 8% alcohol beer brand that didn't exits. The ads were so successful that they set up a company after the ads.
very valid point about women
re visual puns: think the lebanese art directors could learn a thing or two from that statement.
yeah, he's right about the women thing too
Anonymous clown, he wasn't Lebanese...but he was conceived by a woman if that helps...
Neil French is proof that long copy isn't dead. But it breaks my heart to see a clearly gifted writer obsessed with such a cruel 'sport' as bullfighting where an animal is killed mercilessly and a spectacle is made out of it.
