Copyranter hates BBDO a little less now Memo to agency PR people: Think twice before inviting Copyranter in for a visit. CR, aka Mark Duffy, who has lately been doing posts under the heading “Lies Well Disguised” over at Gawker, says he got an invite to visit BBDO after describing the agency as “shitty” and “bloated” earlier this month. Though you should really just go ahead and read the whole post yourself, for the time-crunched, here’s a synopsis: CR came away from the agency feeling “their TV work wasn’t … as shitty as I thought it was and is likely … less shitty than the work of most other bloated agencies.” Along with that ringing endorsement, he also suggests that BBDO’s in-house bar, known as “Central Filing,” be renamed “Think Tanked.” —Posted by Catharine P.

It's a very funny read. It's always amazing to me how big places have the balls to call themselves things like "global boutiques." Who the fuck are they kidding? Outside of a couple of clients, BBDO produces mountains of crap. Less crap than Grey or Y&R or McCann, for sure, but still they are mediocre in many respects.

First Jessica Coen left, then Copyranter's excruciatingly obvious, painfully unfunny columns become a regular feature: Gawker's going into the toilet faster than yesterday's meatloaf.

What the hell does Mark Duffy write? Fucking hack. He just bitches all day on his blog.

...but, you've got to admit, if anybody deserves a little shit it's lubars. that guy has taken more credit for an idea (BMW films) that he had nothing to do with just about anybody in the industry.
he got his corner office at BBDO, but he lost a ton of respect for the way he took advantage of BMW films to advance his career.

hey Dark Muffy, you got that gawker sound bite on a mini-recorder so you don't forget it? He's the same douchebag who bravely write's cry-baby comments on my blog, anonymously. Fucking scaredy Pussy.

Copyranter himself hides behind a nom de plume, so I don't see how anonymous comments on his anonymous posts are the work of pussies.
