Anyway. Anyone watch The Gruen Transfer? It was..interesting. A mix of commentary, humour, and offensively smarmy ad execs.

I think where it's going to suffer compared to, say "Spicks and Specks" or "The New inventors" is that unlike inventors and musicians, nobody likes ad executives. This may be an insurmountable flaw in the "watch ad executives talk for 30 minutes" format, although I did get some joy from watching them prove just how smarmy they really were (the two dumpy guys anyway, the other two weren't so bad)

This reminds me of Bill Hicks taking a moment in his stand-up routine to say "By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing, kill yourself." :)
