It was toxic at the time. The P.C. nature of the day ruled. The shitstorm of bad press become a blemish to the sterling reputation of HRP. I became a leper of sorts and was eventually cast aside. Wah wah wahhhhh. The campaign lives on in infamy and was even mentioned in the obituary of Hal Riney. I suspect he spun a bit in his grave. The S.B.T. never did much at award shows.

Such is admotizin'. Like the McDonald's spot I did for the Superbowl while in the United group at Burnett. It interrupted an existing spot, setting network precedent (before the Energizer Bunny) and caused a poopstorm of political posturing at the agency.
