You say idiot. I say idiotic.

Is writing DDBoom the CB blog equivalent of writing PWND in YouTube comments?

Good on you Justin. Nice bloke. Good to see you flying high, hope to see some killer creative from you soon.
I love those girls.
It happens all the time, 4:26. Despite the temptation to get even with the evil fuckers, it’s best to NOT be known as litigious in the ad industry unless you want to be personna non grata.
DDB must be making their teams wear uniforms now.
On ya Guy,
One of the sharpest blokes in the biz.

Careful about what you claim as your work in public – these sites are read by the people who actually did the work
Mads and Jen = great team.
Fantastic news Lads n Ladies. We’ll have to catch up soon to celebrate.
(Brill ‘Ladies’ website too!)

I have your shoe. Can I have the other one?
6:20, you’re an asshole.
How could you possibly say something like that?! You probably don’t even know these people. You’re just a fucking hater. And an anonymous one at that! You don’t even have the balls to put up your name when you spout off at someone! I bet you’ve never done anything of note and probably have a tiny dick. It was probably in your hand while you wrote that. Get a fucking life, grow some balls and get out of this business if all you want to do is rant like an anonymous madman on this blog!!!!!
What’s with the shoe thing? I don’t get it, but then I’m an idiotic.
Are you saying they didn’t work on the clients 9:47?
Cause I don’t see the PR naming any particular work.
Now I have two shoes. Thanks.
Look forward to the ‘lads’ producing some super insightful, politically savvy and globally relevant work for DDB.
9:17 Loves talking about balls and dicks.
9:29, cast your mind back to the shoe thrown at George W Bush by an Iraqi journo in 2009. Now do you remember?Thank you 2:11, at least somebody appreciates your work. Excellent, if a bit subtle for the nongs on this site.

If I was the person you were referring to (which I’m not), I would have nightmares about that comment for the rest of my career.
I wish someone would throw a shoe at Obama. Smarmy wanker.
Lil Fella can sometimes be an awkward idiot…
clever names
what happened to 4.26 and 6.20–been censored??
Cheap too!
