    I ran into him once. He got pissed. Probably because I literally ran into him and spilled his drink.

    1 - There is no such thing as a creative ad agency. They are all corporate censorship machines. 2 - 99% of "creative" advertising employees only work at agencies because they've failed at what they actually wanted to do for a living. The 1% who work there by choice are sociopaths. Don't glamorize these people, they do far more harm than good!

    @DrunkRobot: I'd up the number who work there by choice and make only 60% of that subset actual sociopaths. The rest are just standard assbeans.

    @ninety_nine: He can be assy and I wouldn't want to work for him but Doug's a bad person with whom to beer down.


    But, to be clear, just about every ad dude under 33 is That Guy by definition. We can kind of thank CP+B for making That Guy an industry standard.

    Yeah, but most agencies are populated by people who want to do the work and get the fuck home. In their multi-colored sneakers.
