  Have any fuckers in the Marketing industry EVER FUCKING HEARD OF IT?

  It’s bad enough that I have to do these shitty corporate newsletters month after agonising month, couldn’t they at least have a cursory glance at how much copy was supplied last time? No! Instead I have to ring them and say “pretty please can you please cut four fifths of this shit out so I can place one of your low-res happy-fucking-snaps?”

  Is it just me?
