I can't believe either of the ads. It almost makes me think they screwed up on purpose but I can't figure out why. Other than maybe (maybe) they were told to be really bad so that people would talk about it and create buzz. They were just so bad... | |

They may be best and brightest in some areas, but I don't think any of them come from an advertising background. Coming up with a fresh marketing idea and putting it all together in a short time frame isn't easy. They both had somewhat clever ideas, but they weren't original, and they were executed HORRIBLY. http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |

I think the marathon theme one would have come off great had it played out the way the guys thought of with the humor...
ah-well | |

I was bothered by this episode. I agree that both ads were AWFUL and stupid.
However, there seemed to be a big thread of homophobia running through the episode. That attitude was tempered by many of the teammates, but allowed by Donald and co. I was NOT impressed. | |

Trump made it more of an issue by asking that guy if he was a homosexual -- it was clearly done to provoke him. Bad call with how the whole thing was handled. http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |

" -after they both sucked ... i thought the DONALD was gonna fire both team managers ! ! ! | |
