as for your question, anonymous, yes, i promise not to bid on chicago 2016 opportunities. for the record, i'm still holding out hope of competing in the games as a pole vaulter, so i'm not even sure if i'll have time for much work.
-Cash Making Opportunities - The Beginning The working life is already tough enough, but the worries of being out of work was even tougher. The unsecured working environment have prompted me to search the internet for an alternative source of extra income so that I could learn how to Make Money Work for me and be Financially Independent. I listed down a number of Free Internet Business Opportunity Ideas while researching ways how people earn money online while working-from-home.......

Kevin Lynch just hates chicago. It's so obvious when you are riding in the car with him in even the most un-patronized areas of the city and he points out a terrific restaurant.

He hates Chicago's public schools too, which is why he helps them with their marketing pro bono.

He hates all of the Chicago institutions that he's done brilliant work for as well. I guess the dummy figured that by doing great advertising work, he'd overrun them with customers and force them to close their doors. What a ridiculous strategy!

And the hatred doesn't stop there. He hates America too. He's so un-American, he's got a beer can collection.

And now he's expressing a well-reasoned argument in thoughtful and entertaining way? What a jerk this guy is!

We'd all be a lot better off if he'd taken one of those jobs in California (also un-American). Or better yet, Australia.

That way, us Chicagoan ad people could stick to what we do best – Client Services.

Uh-huh, right. That trickle-down effect would have been a yellow stream coming from Daley and his machine along with Ryan and the rest of the 2016 cronies who saw the bid as nothing more that a huge cash cow. Corruption finally caught-up with the lot of them and that's why they lost the bid. Go back to marketing Marlboros and Bud Light, Mr. Anonymous Ad Creative Douche Bag.

2009-10-04T15:44:05.292-05:00

let me -- a fellow chicago ad creative -- get this straight: you were invited to pitch ideas to the chicago committee and they didn't buy any of them, so you decided to take your ball and go home.

and, then, just to show how really childish you could be, you pierced the ball on your way to the parking lot?

a shame all the way around.

a shame that chicago didn't get the bid, which could have had an enormously positive, trickle-down effect for many industries, including ours - advertising.

a shame that a reportedly smart guy would be so enamored with himself that he would risk a good job at a good firm with a website that he claims he knew wouldn't remain anonymous forever.

lewis lazare may love you, kevin, but i wonder if tonise paul will share the feeling when chicago based accounts ask that you not work on their business.

your fate is now in the hands of the committee -

I know how much you love reporters right now, but would you be up for another interview today? I'm a staff writer at the Post-Tribune in Northwest Indiana, and my editor is convinced you're from the region, thus "local, local, local!". Yes, no, or whatever, it would be great if you drop me a line at cnance@post-trib.com.

Well done, sir. This Olympic bid fiasco deserved such treatment. I attended one of the community meetings and they were an absolute farce. Thanks so much for the effort!

Enjoy your moment. You succeeded. Both in getting your message out, and getting global press for yourself. All the haters would go mad for anything they've done to have had this type of impact. You won.

Dude, this could be a career-killer. Ouch.

2009-09-29T09:25:14.516-05:00

Great stuff. I love Chicago too. And that's EXACTLY why I want the Olympics to be someone else's problem. The games would make this city worse in so many ways - even more power to a criminal mayor who would be virtually guaranteed to stay in office through '16, a citywide construction zone that would take our land away from us, displacement and pricing out of many residents, with everything risked on the public credit card for the benefit of a few lucky (read: connected) ones.

(Sorry, Rio, I love you too, but better you than us.)

Brilliant.

If I created this -- as an Aon executive -- and outed myself, I'd probably get axed on the spot.

2009-09-28T20:52:27.335-05:00

judging from the music you offer on your site, you're hard of hearing. is that partially to blame for you not understanding that the bid could actually help the city's finances as well as neighborhoods where the games will take place?

2009-09-28T18:08:54.942-05:00

thanks for the comments, all.

mr. brown thumb, i assure you, my friends aren't that hip. and woodlawn jack, i hear what you're saying. we're not picking on the neighborhood just to pick on it. the washington park stats were used because 1) obviously, that's where the stadium would be and 2) crime is often used as an issue when debating rio vs. chicago. so we thought it was relevant to include for those reasons.

2009-09-28T17:07:56.930-05:00

Overall I thought the site was pretty funny. However, you are belittling the heavy blight and extreme poverty in Washington Park seemingly for your own purposes. I realize you and others at BBDO will never have a need to set foot in that area unless we get the olympics--which may be a good enough reason to actually have them here.

Despite the "cop car" graphic the problem there as well as across most of the south side isn't really crime it is lack of jobs, transportation, and the willingness of outsiders to bring in money. If only there were some way to revitalize that area so ad-execs wouldn't make fun of the crime and the plight of the 15,000 Chicagoans who live there.

2009-09-28T14:35:18.571-05:00

I think this is hilarious...it still amazes me that we have this "If you aren't for us, you are against us" mentality...like if you aren't for the war, you are anti-america or pro-terrorist.

I think everyone should take a couple hours and watch the movie "Brazil" just to get an idea of how damaging the blind obedience to authority can be and how it turned out...(whoops, maybe that wasn't a good example...didn't the hero end up getting tortured in the end?). Well, anyways, way to keep 'me honest (well as honest as Da Mare can be).

Keep 'em flying!

You people against the bids because it makes you popular amongst your hipster friends have too much time on your hands.
