Another thing I've learned.

Re-writing bad ad copy is a lot like this:

designer: did you (ever get that info on the rewrite)?
monkie: yeah
monkie: i'll pass those through the ole colon soon
designer: ok
monkie: i don't wanna touch them anymore, they make me ill
designer: i understand
designer: i might be able to help you out with them tomorrow. have to get some stuff out this afternoon or tomorrow morning
monkie: i just need to do 'em. i just hate them so much now that it's like picking up dogcrap in the yard. the longer i wait, the less trouble it is to do. great analogy huh?
designer: very fitting
