It took one Tim Blevins to write this ad:

 
It took two Aussies to write this piece of shit:


Advertising Agency: Redhanded, Australia
Copywriters: Paul Hand, Stuart Shepherd

I've always loved that New Holland ad.

Wow. Pretty classy, Egotist.

Maybe these Aussie writers are juniors. Maybe the client wrote it. Maybe, truth is, they're just not very good creatives. You don't like the work? Fine. I'm all for critiquing work. Call it derivative, call it flat, call it...whatever. But to just put up another person's work and call it "a piece of shit"...that's just lazy and dumb.

It's like you troll the internet, looking for ads, and then make these weird connections.

Next time, just post the CM ad and say, "This is one of my faves."

Good call. Our use of "shit" may have been a bit harsh, especially if the writers are junior. Thing is, they aren't. One of them is also credited as the creative director.

And another fun little tidbit: Tim was maybe three years out of ad school when he wrote that headline.

Thanks for the comment. If you need us, we'll be trolling the internet, looking for ads with weird connections to local work.

Thing is, that doesn't matter. That's not the point.

That's nice. Although I'm not surprised that someone who has been working for three years can write a good headline. Should I be?

Tim Blevins is a fucking demigod.

Did Chris Sheehan shoot the New Holland ad? Looks like his work.

You called it. Chris Sheehan.
