      YUS!

      That’s the very line (and the rest of that bit) that got me out of advertising.

      For the whole of the 3 months I was animating my first TV advert, I played a Bill Hicks VHS over and over in the background, wearing it out to snow.

      Bill Hicks saved me, by telling me to kill myself. :)

      Marketing and advertising are like enchantment spells in fantasy. Theoretically they have beneficial uses but for some reason the only thing we can think to do with them is try our best to remove consent and be generally intrusive.
