Dear occasional commenter and longtime reader Anonymouse,
Could you clear something up for me about your most recent comment…
Fuck average people.
Awards shows aren’t for them.
Was that intended to be a joke? I thought it was, but others have interpreted it differently (that doesn’t invalidate Dave’s blog, by the way; it’s still 100% pertinent and relevant).
Sounded like a joke to me. Surely. Still, a good piece by DT. Shame he relied on the comment so hard.
I have no idea why …. but I thought I’d Google my old username from back when I used to interact with blogs etc. And I found this little beauty. Haha! Yes, this was absolutely a joke. I’ve always found the self-importance of ad awards amusing and was mimicking that tone.
A bit of online fishing is fun from time to time … but to catch the mighty Trott? Well, that’s just lovely to read!
I love DT, btw, I’ve worked with him (briefly) and I agree with 90% of what he says in his blogs.
One thing I remember is that a student body wanted to get him to do a talk for them. His response was ‘persuade me’ and they flounced off, mortified.
I would have liked it if they’d instead said, “Well, we’ve already got our first speaker lined up and their topic is ‘Why Dave Trott is wrong about everything’ …. we were just wondering if you’d like to be the second?”
I reckon that might have got him on board.
Anyway, all the best. What a strange post to find.
