No.1: KEVIN ROBERTS
When it comes to naming the most embarrassing (and least
embarrassable) people in New Zealand public life, this bloke would always come at, or near, the top of the list ---- unless you have a high regard for self-serving, shallow, babbling crap artistes.
embarrassable) people in New Zealand public life, this bloke would always come at, or near, the top of the list ---- unless you have a high regard for self-serving, shallow, babbling crap artistes.
Now, whether you like them or not, you musty admit that some right wing thinkers at least can state coherently what they believe. This is not the case with the baffling Roberts, who has never, to our knowledge, uttered a sentence that makes sense. It should be noted that Roberts' inability (or unwillingness?) to say anything that makes sense has not prevented him from rising to the top of the corporate world. Saatchi and Saatchi pay him an obscene amount of money to
churn out this sort of crapola every day. We take the view that this is as much a reflection on the intellectual rigour (or lack of it) of the advertising world and the corporate world as it is a tribute to the unflappable, unshameable Roberts, blitherer and bullshitter par excellence.

We urge you to sit back and enjoy the following piece of unmitigated bullshit from the man who once wrote an open letter to the New York Times, urging N.Y. governor George Pataki to dispense with an election and just re-appoint a mafia-connected mayor. When this bloke's fertile
mind starts fertilising, you have to just.... well, sit back and
enjoy!

Five insights into Lovemarks
1. Lovemarks capture emotion. Once it was safer not only to dumb down,
but to numb down as well. No longer. Emotion is back in style. Science
has proved that humans are powered by emotion, not by reason. Brain
scientist Donald Calne sums up: "The essential difference between
emotion and reason is that emotion leads to action, while reason leads
to conclusions." More emotion, more action.

Emotion is the new frontier of marketing. Give people more reasons to
do stuff and their eyes glaze over. Only emotion excites them to
action.People without passion or emotion cannot do great work. People
with passion and emotion can do anything.

2. Lovemarks are Irreplaceable and Irresistible. Big brands have made
huge investments in Respect for decades. But Respect is no longer
enough. Respect can make brands Irreplaceable to millions of consumers
everyday. Only Love makes them Irresistible. Nothing else will do.

3. Lovemarks earn both Love and Respect. We mapped Love and Respect on
this Axis. Low Respect, Low Love. Commodity hell. Steel, gravel and
logs. No names with no claims.Low Respect, High Love. The Fad zone.
Hero today. Zero tomorrow. From Ugg boots to Martha.

Hero today. Zero tomorrow. From Ugg boots to Martha.
High Respect, Low Love – most brands are stuck here focused on the
"e-r" words: newer, brighter, stronger, bolder, and … cheaper. High
Respect, High Love. Lovemarks. New value lies in this uncharted
territory.

For decades our client Toyota's passion has been Respect. Now they are
connecting with the power of emotion. Senior vice president at Toyota
USA Don Esmond on the new challenge: "It's time to move from the most
respected car company in America to the most loved." That would put
Toyota right here: High Love and High Respect. A Lovemark.

4. Lovemarks touch Mystery, Sensuality and Intimacy. This is why my
book looks the way it does. Big impact visuals alongside intimate
details. Anything to open people up to the spirit of Lovemarks.

Mystery to draw together stories, metaphors, dreams and symbols. Most
brands squeeze out Mystery with too much information. When everything
is known, there is nothing left to thrill.

5. We can measure Lovemarks. Lovemarks are now backed up by another E
word: Evidence. Lovemarks reinvent brands. To prove it we reinvented
research. Saatchi & Saatchi has been working with QiQ International
from London for more than a year. We have developed a unique
methodology to measure Lovemarks and emotion.

We can now measure the unmeasurable. We have remarkable evidence of
the huge commercial advantages of Lovemarks. In terms of preference,
in terms of usage, in terms of future purchase.

Lovemarks action. I am a working CEO, not a consultant or academic.
What matters to me is action. The REAL world of business is anchored
by Respect at one end and inspired by Love at the other. Propelling
them both forward is Emotion and Action.

He's a long way from being the daftest poster here and as Damon says he

of humour don't bloody well read him. That works with the posters whose
material or stupidity or incoherence annoys me. When they're really

You're a tenderer flower than I thought, Agnes, if you took my post

The man's a pretentious waste of space. Numbering his posts,
forsooth. Still, it gives him an interest in life, I suppose.

Fair enough. Venom is perhaps too strong. We could usefully

Good one Sue... people with almost ridiculous names shouldn't be the
first to wade in to an odd thread designed to prove evilness by
similarity of family name to some other word.

David Pears <dpears...@bigfoot.com.au> is prone to backing the
wrong horse, misjudging the break of the wave, mistiming his entry
into the backline, if ya get my drift. This time, Pears has made the
mistake of coming out in support of poor old Sue Bilstein, who has
gotten herself embroiled in an embarrassing situation, following a
bilious yet weak attack she launched on Morrissey Breen (c'est moi!).

Well, on the positive side, I guess you can take heart, Ms Bilstein.
At least ONE person appreciates your rather strained effort at a

To summarise the thread so far...
Sue: Makes a point that Withers disagrees with.
Withers: Unable to refute Sue's argument using logic, notes that if
you change around some letters and add some other letters, then
"Bilstein" is almost "Bilestone". Maybe he is competing for the title
of "Group's Stupidest Poster", or something? Turcaud and Fitzgerald
will have to work hard now that Withers is in the race.

of the National Front. Not to act like a group of facist bully boys
dishing out random street violence, but to challenge their vile
beliefs using logic and humour. The regulars, including Tarla, who was
annoyed to be left at home the last time the gang went out for an
imaginery outing together, are standing at the back of the meeting

See, Pears, to work at all, satire has to have a base in reality. If
you restricted yourself to mocking Tarla for her slight (or is it more

going here.

Satire is about exaggeration and distortion. Good satire will make
even its targets laugh, in spite of themselves. Telling a brutal and
stupid lie, as you have done here, is not satire, or parody, or
anything other than really dumb propaganda.

David Irving begs to disagree, at least in Steve's case. He recognises
Steve's claim that there is no racism in NZ, because only Jews would
vandalise a Jewish cemetery, for what it is.
