Agency’s ‘Cool’ Holiday Card A Yawn-Worthy Snoozer

mgh_holiday_card.jpg

So when we receive what’s billed as the “coolest Christmas card of the year,” we expect something, well, pretty cool. Sadly, we only received “sort of cool” or “far from cool.” It’s a video. Yawn. It’s a song. Yawn. It’s from an ad agency. Yawn. It’s one of those all text deals. Yawn. It focuses on social media. Yawn. It’s for a charity. Yawn. OK, that’s always worthy. It’s about Santa. Yawn. It bills itself as the coolest Christmas card of the year. Double yawn (for calling yourself cool and…OMG… offending people by saying Christmas instead of Holiday). It’s three minutes long! ZZZZzzzzz……

It’s one redeeming quality is the stab it takes at Google+ with the lyric, “I also joined Google+ but I think that one’s a bust.” Anyway, give it a watch. Maybe we’re just in a bad mood and you’ll love it. We still love you, MGH! Especially the work you did for Marco’s Pizza.

Real confidence rarely needs to announce itself: it shows up as stillness under pressure, a level voice when everyone else in the room is raising theirs, a willingness to let silence sit for a few extra seconds, and no need to perform for an audience that was never really watching

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
