We're going to blow this client away.

Another taste threshold crossed.

Rejected TV magazine ad, 1999. Client: Suburban Cablevision. Agency: Publicis. Art Director: Elias Kotsias. Writer: Lisa McCarthy. Cause of Death: See below. MORE »

Kotsias speaking: "The client felt that, in the wake of the Columbine shootings, this was in poor taste. We did get a laugh out of him, though. Regardless, we still feel there's a lot of truth in the ad. And it would have really pissed Rudy off."
