I would have liked to be in that boardroom when that hipster dipshit art director referenced Harmony Korine to a table full of suburban MBAs.

Frankly, it's one big cheap shot and kind of a lame idea.

For what it's worth, here are some more of them. I'm guessing they're all out of Stockholm.

As an ad man myself, I think it sucks - it's way too long and the writing is not clever at all.

Anyone ever hear of a self-promotional viral piece an agency out of Portland did back in 1999-2000 called "Reach and Frequency"? The agency was Elvis and Bonaparte.

It's not apples to apples but it's an example of how to make bad, good.

@digitalsmoothie:
You're very welcome. Having seen several in my time, usually on teachers with pants pulled up entirely too high, this was by far the most impressive of late. It puts "front butt" to shame.
