Yup. Spaaaaaiink is it! They need a spaaaaiinkin'

It's the only way they'll learn. (Either that or they'll like it and soon we'll be looking at 270 words for a :52...so they'll qualify for more spaaainkin's...)

hurra

I just got slammed with the Scott Pollak syndrome. The same copy was produced by two other stations in Philly, which the client approved. This is my 20-track, out of breath version. Crying or Very sad

Allison... that actually sounds like a relaxed, easy read compared to what I've had to deal with lately.

BTW, I think you did a GREAT JOB on the read! Seriously!

Also, I've kind of gotten my 'hands slapped' lately for bitching so much about all the horrid copy coming my way so I've vowed to just shut up, read it, and let the ad campaigns wither and die as no one responds to awful ads.

I feel ya Scott. I've had to get in the mindset of "stick a geranium in your hat and be happy". It's easy to get bogged down in the complaining sometimes, especially with something that very few can understand the frustrations of like too much copy. Wink

It's nice to know that we are not alone Smile
