Funny Video

Anyone who is in the Design/Business link class has already seen this, but for people who haven't I thought I'd post it because I think it ties in with this blog and it's pretty funny and something we can all relate to. You can view the youtube video here.
I haven't been in the graphic design world for very long, but I currently work for an ad agency and it seems that a constant struggle is trying to fit everything that the client wants in an ad or trying to convince them that some things don't need to be included. I completely agree with Steve about how clients don't understand the value of whitespace. They think if they're paying for an ad it should include as much in it as possible for them to get their money's worth...seems like they are missing the point...
My old boss used to say, "everyone thinks they can do our job better than we can" which is so true. Everyone seems to think they can be a graphic designer and they don't realize that sometimes we just might know what we're talking about.
