I went to Concordia today . . . and nobody rioted!
It was to see the Cannes Lions Festival 2002 winners for the year’s best advertising. The JMMA screened the winners in a “mad about ads” evening, and people packed the H110 auditorium at $5 a ticket to see the best ads of the year.
Some of the ads were wonderfully creative and side-splittingly funny. The best part about the Lions is that entrants are from around the world. European advertising is so far ahead of ours.
Hmmm . . . a room full of people there specifically to admire advertising. I’m surprised the CSU were able to restrain themselves from showing up to heckle!
if we knew you were going to come, segacs, there would have been a riot
there was a csu meeting. Maybe that explains why they weren’t there to riot?
I know how to get the CSU to show up and protest… “This advertising festival is brought to you by Zoom Media and Sodexho-Marriott. Oh, and Monsanto. Archer-Daniels Midland too.” (Their favourite corporate boogeymen, for anyone who never reads CSU propaganda.)
