Ill Effects of YouTube Beget Illish Agency Holiday Invite

Back the in day when YouTube was just a twinkle in those soon to be billionaire’s eyes, ad agencies used to produce professional, high quality, elegant Christmas (excuse us…Holiday) cards and videos. Kinda like the work they produced for their clients. Now, post-YouTube orgasm, every agency (we’re not going to mention Agency.com) seems to think it has to go out and buy a shitty video camera, hand it to an intern, tell hem to shake the camera on purpose, edit the thing with a sledge hammer and barf up some consumer-generated crap and pass it off as some sort of uber-cool, hipsterati-laden creation…kind of like the work they now produce for their clients.

Speaking of barf, TBWA backward slash Chiat backward slash Day New York upchucked a video to YouTube full of tasty projectile chunks – an apparent highlight of their 2005 Christmas party – as an invitation to this years party where, we assume, all kinds of bile will blow. Do they want people to go to this party?
