2008 Cannes News Recap. Self Absorbed at 11.

July 3rd, 2008 by andyhunter

ok, full disclosure:

#1) I’ve been avoiding the ad trades recently. Just don’t seem to get much out of them, except the occasional read of my MediaPost subscriptions.
#2) I’m a little under the weather so might be a tad bit more sarcastic/cynical. ;)

but cmon. Cannes? is this crap really relevant anymore? shouldn’t someone have put a bullet in it about 10 years ago? when even Lee Clow can’t put us out of our myopic misery there’s not much hope.

don’t get me wrong, I like a party. vegas? south beach? new orleans? coastal Mediterranean beach, ibiza even? mhmmm, yup i’m in. but on a business dime? cmon boys and girls get over yourselves:

quick let’s get a vice magazine writer on these, they are just too good to pass up.

PS: thanks to adage.com for publishing these. seriously.

PPS: apparently, I’m not the only one.
