Jerry Seinfeld receives Clio Award for advertising, skillfully mocks advertising

[jasc15]

I love advertising because I love lying.

We know the product is going to stink. We know that because we live in the world, and we know that everything stinks. We all believe, ‘Hey, maybe this one won’t stink.’ We are a hopeful species. Stupid, but hopeful. But we’re happy in that moment between the commercial and the purchase.

I think spending your life trying to dupe innocent people out of hard-won earnings to buy useless, low-quality, misrepresented items and services is an excellent use of your energy.

It appears that the CLIO awards have a long history of being patently insane. The full account of this years seems to bear that out.
