Our sources say this is actually a real TV ad created by an agency called Meyocks Group from Des Moins, Iowa. And although it was supposed to be just an opener for the ADDY awards, it actually won an award at that show.

If you think you're the only one who's got a idiotic boss, read this e-mail sent out to all employees of Toronto-based interactive agency Bas Henderson (unbelievable, but true> this is a MDC Partners owned agency!):

Subject:
Spring Time Round -UP
Date:
Thu, 23 Mar 2006 09:12:30 -0500
From: Dawna Henderson
To: yyz@theniceagency.com

The agenda for today's Round Up has changed

Because the assigned team failed to coordinate this month's Round Up - and we don't want to waste the time that has been allocated - everyone will be required to participate in henderson bas spring cleaning.

Beginning at 4pm, each of you will be responsible for cleaning your individual pod (just not moving stuff around) and making sure the area around your desk is neat & tidy. Once your area is perfectly clean and organized, you will each be required to participate in office cleaning. Tech and creative will be responsible for the kitchen which includes the fridge and above the sink cupboards. The PMs and AMs will be responsible for cleaning the down stairs coat closet and making sure every single screen & keyboard in the building is cleaned.

Once you are finished cleaning your pod and assigned areas, please come and find me as I would like to make sure the office is cleaned to my standards.

To this month's Round Up team - Redacted, Redacted, Redacted and Redacted - instead of buying snacks and drinks for the group, you will be required to purchase the following cleaning supplies before 4pm today - paper towels, Fantastik, Pledge for electronics, J-cloths, and computer screen wipes (@ Grand & Toy). This is not an option.

If anyone has any problems with this, please be sure to thank this month's Round Up team. Do not come and whine to me.

Next month's Round Up will occur on April 27, 2006 and will be organized by Redacted, Redacted, Redacted and Redacted.

Rules: This is not a joke.
1. all computers must be turned off from 4:00PM- 5:30PM
2. no calls are to be taken
3. attendance is mandatory
4. everyone’s shred box must be emptied
5. no one can leave until the offices are clean
6. no smoke or coffee breaks

Comment: Ad Award Categories to Avoid

0 comments Published by Michal Pastier.

I ripped this one from the WK London blog who actually ripped it off from the AndyAwards blog. But WK London's joint Creative Director Tony Davidson is an extremely nice guy (he helped me with my master's thesis), so I won't tell you that it wasn't him, but Andy Berlin who put together this most usefull list.

Categories to avoid:
The 'it¹s a blatant lie' category.
The 'gag with the product you don't remember stuck on the end' category.
The 'The Office was a good show on British TV, let's rip it off badly' category.
The 'People playing sports around the city streets with lots of long lens shots' category.
The 'Civilization is boring, let's kill everyone and blow up the buildings' category.
The 'This only ran once and I paid for it myself' category.
The 'Ad voice at the end that explains what the fuck's been going on up until here' category.
The 'I won the lottery, look what I bought' category.
The 'I hate being in advertising and am going to pretend this is a movie' category.
The 'It's a film trailer, no it isn't, it's an ad' category.
The 'Same ad done the same way three times isn't a campaign' category.
The 'Talking animals' category.
The 'Let's come back to a not very funny joke after the pack shot' category. (aka: the reach around)
The 'Continuous piece of dialogue cutting between different people' category.
The 'One person in an empty city' category.
The 'Someone talking with someone else's voice dubbed over the top' category.
The 'Referencing our own industry' category.
The 'Long-winded, over-length and to be honest not worth it when I get to the end' category.
The 'I have no idea what this ad is saying' category.
The 'Car driving down a winding road looking like every other car category'
The 'It could be any beer' category.
The 'Special effects is the idea' category.
The 'Enter it in every category until it wins something' category.
The 'It's real video footage and then something totally unreal happens' category.
The 'Best use of people coming together to make a shape' category.
The 'Repeating an idea that's already been done' category.
The 'Gratuitous sex for no reason' category.
The 'I can see the ending coming immediately' category.
The 'Pull back to reveal' category.
The 'Short films on websites that have absolutely no relevance to the product' category.
