Deutsch: adsturbation is perfectly normal “Adsturbation” sounds like the name of a new advertising blog, but in fact it’s Deutsch’s theme for Advertising Week this year. An ad from the agency in the Advertising Week 2007 official guide sends you to the Adsturbation Web site (a bottle of lotion dispenses as the page loads), where you’re invited to enjoy “some hot self-congratulatory action. Get comfortable, turn out the lights and start adsturbating.” The actual “action” involves getting little complimentary sound bites from four stereotypical colleagues. Most of the other agency ads are pretty run-of-the-mill (as the Ad Aged blog pointed out earlier this week). But a couple are humorous. The TBWA\Chiat\Day ad shows two agency tools high-fiving, and directs you to EverybodysLovingAdvertising.com, which speaks for itself. Then there’s the DraftFCB ad, which includes absolutely no large cats copulating. They take the high road with an image of a double helix of light bulbs and the line, “What is in your DNA?” —Posted by Tim Nudd

"light bulbs" representing "ideas"—how fucking imaginative.

Tim...
Wow, fucking wow!!! This is awful. There must be a way whoever perpetrated this turd on us can be taken out and shot like a dog. You just have to know Donny got his shitty paws on this. Probably cast the "Intern" chick as well. I'm doing a post on it on AdScam with one of my Donny pics.

The TBWA ad is fantastic fun. A's all around.

HOLY SHIT! I could have "masterbated" four times and treated my rugburn before this site loaded. Overall I can't believe something like this came out of Deutsch. Usualy they're tacky and cheezy and never stick their necks out anymore. Even though the site blows it's a step in a direction they should have taken a long time ago.

I sat and sat and sat and made it up to like 8 pumps of lotion before I bagged on it. Maybe their "experience officer" can tell them that is a no no.
