Creative Tantrums Adorn T-shirts

Long-time advertising production professional “Vontra” tells us, “After 20 plus years of listening to creative whining while on film shoots, (including my own) I thought of a way to turn comments into cash: Print all the stupid shit we creatives say onto clothing and throw it back at ourselves.” Thus, a Cafepress business was born called Shoots. The store sells clothing emblazoned with “all the stupid shit” creatives have said to Vontra over the years and, no doubt, still do to those of us still in the business. From “Where’s all the African Americans at?” to “My room sucks. Who’s responsible?” to “This looks like shit. Is that the style now?”, there’s plenty of bitchiness for all to appreciate.

OK. Now who’s going to open the store where creatives quote “all the stupid shit” production people, AE’s, traffic managers and clients say in reaction to their work? Come on. Someone step up to the plate!

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.
