Not sure what's going on this week, but it seems like some ad agencies are on a mission to piss off the world. Don't we do that enough already? For what it's worth, WWF has denied any collaboration with the creators of the 9/11 ad. I'm sure the AIDS client will soon be saying the same. C'mon, guys. Have some damn taste. (I'm actually offended at myself for even posting these blights on humanity.)
