AdWeak Returns! Again!

Ever the mysterious one, AdWeak, has returned once again to tear apart the ad industry. Never heard of AdWeak? AdWeak was the George Parker of 2002. The AgencySpy with a heavy dose of insiderism. Adrants with far more imagination. AdWeak routinely skewered the industry with witty spoofs and The Onion-style reporting.

Twice the dude fell off the face of the planet and now, for a second time, he has retuned triumphantly to…Twitter, of course to rip the industry a new one in 140 character bursts. We’ll be following. Will you?

In true “don’t give a shit” form, AdWeak is following no one on Twitter but does have a little over 100 followers. He tweets in “hot headline” style with jabs like “Sr. Art Director Attempts To Resurrect Career By Re-Laying Out Old Print Ads As New Banner Ads,” “CP&B Creatives ‘Surprised’ By Negative Reaction To International BK Spot Featuring Ronald McDonald Getting Fucked In Ass” and “Creative Team Spends Five Billable Hours Debating Whether Or Not New Intern Is Wearing Bra.”

Follow. You won’t be disappointed.

Research suggests that people who handwrite lists and people who use phone apps process their entire day differently. The paper list writers tend to plan from internal cues while the app users increasingly rely on external prompts, and over decades that difference quietly reshapes how autonomous a person feels inside their own life.

Psychology says people who instinctively push their chair in when they leave a table aren’t just being polite – they grew up in households where someone always had to clean up after everyone else, and they never forgot what it felt like to be that person

Behavioral scientists found that people who moralize their food choices, calling meals clean or toxic, good or bad, develop the same shame spirals around eating that previous generations developed around sex and money. The language of purity always produces the same psychological damage regardless of what it’s applied to.
