Equine's Posterior® Award, late March 2007.
This morning, I finally read the March Creativity, the monthly AdAge supplement for self-fellating copywriters and art directors. In the "Work" section, Andrew Keller, ECD (that's Executive Creative Director for you laypeoples) at Miami's CP+B, spouts some high-level horseshit while discussing the agency's newish print work for VW. When asked about how the ads (above right) lovingly borrow from the classic DDB ads of yore, he responds:
"It's not the point. Ultimately, VW must be a transcendent brand (what?). It must take stock and make sense of its historical position while creating a modern statement (what-what?)."
For speaking like a parody of a marketing MBA doofus, Andrew receives a tasty chocolate Horse's Ass.

Oh God, I wish this account were back at Arnold.
Screenwriters get beaucoup credit for movie remakes. Christ, the Oscars even use the term, "Best Screenplay Based On Material Previously Produced Or Published" for the award.
And - in your own parlance - that's art, not a glorified classified with graphics.
All of which makes Keller a far more self-affected, aggrandizing faggot than it appears. And that's not so easy to accomplish.
He's nothing more than a corporate version of Tracy Morgan's entourage in "30 Rock".
A transcendent ass for a...
ok...that quote was so far from making any kind of sense that he doesn't even deserve the chocolate horse's ass. He should be demoted to a chocolate donkey ass. or goat maybe? stray dog behind?
If he could have slipped in the words "utilitze" and "synergy" that would have been great.
"Ultimately, we must reunite toaster ovens with purple unicorns."
Finally, someone understands.
His name is Andrew Keller? I thought he was Napoleon Dynamite.
