The tooth companies are the worst for TV advertising, it's like watching Paranoia TV, fucking hilarious.

I dunno dude, maybe you're doing it wrong.. there are many companies doing good, honest and creative work, KesselsKramer being the most obvious...
Maybe you should just try a little harder..
It's always easy to blame clients, your boss and the stunted retard sitting beside you, but eventually, you have to take responsibility for your own actions and approach to your work... Good creatives settle for, what did Boz say, oh yeah — "I created something that appealed to people and made good money off of it"..
Great creatives don't settle, they sell great creative...

What exactly did you expect when you signed up to work in the "advertising industry?" Little fluffy bunnies and unicorns?

This is kinda like the Adbusters mentality "Let's use our powers for good and not evil."
The problem is that good doesn't pay very much.
- i don't know about that. Adusters actually put together a good publication for a while there.pizzafire
- "The problem is that good doesn't pay very much." fuck that mentalityMilan

- and adbusters depends on a lot of ad sales to print their magazine. you ever see how much fashion stuff they have?

two choices
A) Decide you like your conscience and go do something that will make you happy.
B) Get that money.
P.S. "but it's too late to stop or change course now." bull fuckin shit

Real design is about communication and problem solving.
What you're referring to is advertising.
"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
