Today Mark Mayerson turned me on to a new website called Ad Verbatims. It invites commerical professionals to send in some of the stupider notes or critiques that they've received from clients. Very funny and chillingly familiar to any of you who've ever had to deal with client notes. For anyone whose ever heard " I don't know what I want, but I don't want that!" Here's an example:

#383- "It needs to EXPLODE off the page! It needs FIREWORKS and COLOR! LOTS of colors! And exclamation points! Be creative. I could have done what you sent me on my own computer. The 14pt type is so small. I mean, you guys are the experts..."


The site boasts that recently ADWeek Magazine listed it among the TEN GREATEST OFFICE TIMEWASTERS on the web.
