Brief. day two....
This was the day my Jury got real nasty.
And we loved every minute of it.
It's
funny. You get a bunch of CD's together and we can't wait to start
going hammer-and-tong over which work we think should be a finalist. Or
not.
Maybe
it's the fact we're all equals, we push hard to sound the smartest,
most strategic, or use that even more powerful technique - talking the
loudest.
I scored OK on the front I think.
And here's some other real winners from today too (I have granted them my own special yellow pencils).
First up is best use of a dead bee. And it was darn well done too. Stone cold dead.
Next up is best use of a helpless cute dog. Leisa, I'm sure you'd love this one (secretly, it was from a great Aussie campaign).
And finally, best use of the word 'penis' from the outdoor category. Lord knows what it was advertising. I tried to decipher it. But couldn't. But with a byline like that, who cares. Maybe the outdoor Jury will be sweep away with it's clever use of a male anatomy reference. Doubt it....
Anyway, tomorrow promises to see bucket loads more nastiness as we fight it out to award the coveted yellow pencils. Personally, I can't wait.
