Spoiled, Entitled Ad Primo Donna Wants Everything

Stereotyping advertising professionals perfectly, Alex Blagg exponentially magnifies the well known traits of the advertising rock star in a post called, “I Work In Advertising, Goddammit!” Eluding to advertising’s favorite whipping boy, Blagg mocks the self-importance of advertising types writing, “What do you mean, you won’t go home with me? I have the coolest job in the world because I am the coolest person in the world. Do you understand what that means, you hot little piece of Asian action?”

Of course, it doesn’t stop there as Blagg eloquently pulls out stereotype after stereotype closing with, “Do you have any idea how much money I’m responsible for? My accounts total up to, like, a bajillion dollars! Do you know what kind of Q1 sales I did? I’ll show you the fucking numbers. I spend all day figuring out ingenious ways to scare or trick people into buying shit they don’t need – and I’m brilliant at it! You know those pop-up ads you can never get rid of? Those were MY IDEA…now let me fuck you.

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.
