SuperSpy and I were talking today about the rampant bitterness that pervades the advertising world. And though we understand your woes, we wanted to get a feel for specifically what bugs you most.

Take a look at AdScam &#151 the folks commenting over there spend their entire day bashing the shit out of everything. They might even be right in doing so, but nonetheless, they do it.

Maybe it’s being anonymous that makes us feel like it’s OK. But the bitterness existed long before blogs (hell, even forums) existed. The stress was taken out on a bottle of Scotch, a pack of Luckies and a plate of oysters on a half shell. Well, until the AgencySpy party (or you get home tonight) we hope clicking below will help.
