Dear Cannes Lions Organizers: Don’t be Douchebags

idiot_f.jpg

OK, so last week we kinda trashed the journalistic efforts others have planned for Cannes this week tossing them off as overly trendy or lazy. Of course, it was in jest and of course you knew that.

But now it’s time for us to stand behind one of our fellow media outlets, Adland, which, in a very non-lazy/non-trendy fashion, had planned to offer video commentary of the week for its readers. Adland’s Ask Wappling had asked a friend and former copywriter to be her cameraman and that’s where the douchebaggery started.

Because her chosen cameraman was a former copywriter, the organizers of Cannes seem to think he’s trying to sneak in for a free ride as a copywriter and not as a cameraman for Ask. That’s just retar…oh wait, we can’t use that word, right? Anyway, that’s just idiotic.

If anyone here has any clout with the organizer’s, can you please deliver them a swift slap upside the head and tell them to stop being such idiots? Thank you very much.
