Really? Whining? For me, "If you don't laugh you'll cry" and "it's funny because it's true" come to mind faster than the word whining, but then I was spitting out the majority of adland-jokes in a manic frenzy while cackling loudly like a crazy woman. For a moment there I was afraid someone would arrive with a nice hug-myself-jacket and take me away. In the hashtag some people were humblebragging, others dropping serious gossip under the guise of a joke. OK, that was me.

By now you've seen the Adland Girl video from low cal food people Kerry Low Low. You know, the one that plays like an SNL parody commercial that also feels inspired by Women Laughing Alone With Salad. It's all so very tongue and cheek and har har, I know right? We totally are like that in our ads. And it's coming from a low-cal cheese brand! They even have a Facebook Page that is hilarious!

Adweek has a an article up : How AT&T Got Kids to Make Some of the Year's Best Ads where they talk about BBDO's "comic gold" campaign for AT&T, who shot it, how it's made and all that nitty gritty you like to read.
Last week an adgrunt tipped us to how similar AT&T's funny kids are to Ally banks funny kids back in 2009. I didn't feel up to posting it then, but now that I haven't been called "bitter" in about a week it feels like you don't love hate me no more so here we go, a semi-badlander.
