Get Shouty 
So, tracking that back it seems it was created by a UK agency, Sell! Sell!, and seems to be basically just content created by them to push their business.
So, given the fact I doubt Brian exists and that this is instead little more than link bait, how is it really that relevant?
(Note, not saying there aren’t parts I agree with)
Comment by Warlach August 19, 2010 @ 12:55 pmhuh?
the letter itself has no branding- I link back because I was brought up proper…
I don’t see it as irrelevant “because the author works for an agency”- I work for an agency and I’d like to think that that doesn’t discount my thinking here…and why can’t someone who works in advertising have an opinion about advertising? Or (for that matter) an advertising agency have an opinion about advertising? And tell people about it?
Anyways- I like it- you liked it.

Comment by Kirsty August 19, 2010 @ 4:13 pmexcellent!
Comment by katiechatfield August 20, 2010 @ 2:04 pmI’m just saying it’s not what it proports to be, a letter from someone outside of the Adland commenting on all that crap.
Comment by Warlach August 19, 2010 @ 5:07 pmit might be the correct assumption…but
you don’t know that- you’re assuming it
why not take your concern to the source?
Comment by katiechatfield August 20, 2010 @ 1:18 pmI would if I cared enough about the content, my point is rather why reblog stuff without tracing where it’s come from and providing context?
Comment by daemonlachlan August 23, 2010 @ 11:22 amI did trace it back. The author is uncredited.
I blogged it because it made me think + it made me laugh.
I don’t need any other reason.

Pingback by Psybertron Asks August 20, 2010 @ 9:29 pmI don’t believe him. He could have uploaded several videos of himself to the sausage people in the time it took to draft that letter.
Maybe Brian would like to tell me what flavour soda he is. People simply love to identify with product extensions.
Thanks,
