While our Cannes Corespondent Angela Natividad is bringing you the goods from the Southern France this week, it’s our job to remind you the mundane world of advertising goes on despite the fact we all seem to think Cannes is the end all, be all event of the the industry.

Now. On to the mundane. OK, we wouldn’t call in mundane but it’s not Cannes-quality, whatever the hell that might be. Charlotte-based BooneOakley is out with a three spot campaign for Bojangles’ Restaurant. In each of the three spots it’s clearly illustrated “Bo Time” is far more important than whatever you might be occupied with at the given moment. That includes getting pulled over by the cops, a marriage proposal and, yes, impending birth.
