Ad budgets are down because newspaper readership is down, magazine readership is down, adblockers are ubiquitous and Tivo is going to be old enough to vote in a couple months. Ad budgets are down because nobody is seeing ads.
-BanksyThe thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.
I've read this somewhere before. I think from you actually. I'm calling my art snob friend tomorrow and letting him know my opinion is validated by Bansky. Then he'll tell me Banksy is a poser. ::Shrugs:: He's smart, but sometimes there's no winning with that guy.
