AAAA gets its panties in a bunch concerning Talent Zoo column.

Get this: The American Association of Advertising Agencies has rescinded an invitation for Talent Zoo to speak at an industry conference after they disapproved of a column that appeared on the Talent Zoo site.

Columnist Danny G, an outspoken rank 'n file creative whose column appears regularly on the site, poignantly derided the AAAA-sponsored Advertising Week as a self-serving, self-congratulatory, ego-fest.

Dan Goldgeier criticized plans being made by the association and other industry organizations for Advertising Week in New York City, which will be held Sept. 20 through 24 and will include panels, meetings, events and speeches. Mr. Goldgeier mocked an event that asks consumers to vote for their favorite ad characters, and he complained that the week was too "New York-centric."
