That guy is not making himself pretty so I don't really get the visual.

Jack, when I look at your works I can easly understand how stupid you are.

Did the guy just point at the picture on the wall and say "just like that please!"

(Pssst... It's Karl Marx, jack.)

Yes, I realised that (Have to admit, it was because of the title, otherwise I wouldn't have known). Still it doesn't make much sense to me but perhaps somebody could explain it.

And yes I know who Karl Marx was.

Guest's picture

Probably because you just googled it.

Yeah, no offense meant, jack. It could have been Jerry Garcia.

I reckon it's a leftish mag. Jack, this is embarassing.

WOZ = die Wochenzeitung is a left oriented Swiss newspaper. That's why they use the image of Karl Marx (who by the way used to live in Switzerland a couple of years ...)

Guest's picture

For guys like Jack agency decided to put the photograph of the "guy" himself in the back. And still, not enough...

For the target audience, this is bang on. For someone who doesn't understand the context, it looks stupid. Guys, try and place ads in the right context before you vote/judge them. If you were someone the newspaper was targeting, you'd know who this is right away.

il nerko, no, I don't, it's called humor. Using one Marx to make a comment about another and ultimately convey how lame the ad is.

Groucho references appreciated around here.

Jack, I feel bad for you. I'm not being sarcastic. I think all the criticism you get sometimes is too mean and there should be a line where you disagree with someone without showing disrespect. The problem is your portfolio represents very well who you are, a young kid with not a lot of work experience, when you talk like you if were an expert. I think this is throwing people off. Maybe you've already figured this out and you don't care, anyways.
