Ellisism

“I recommend advertising to all, especially if you have no apparent academic skills. It’s easy money, and whatever small abilities you have can be put to good use somewhere in an ad agency, whether it’s your charm and wit for client hand-holding, technical talents suited to the complex world of media buying, or if you must, writing slogans and soundbites for power-hungry politicians. Mad Men seems to move at a snail’s pace but its evocation of the early 1960s is very nicely done. It bears no resemblance to any second that I have ever spent in advertising.”*
