The hilarious part is Greg repeatedly regurgitating his disdain for
advertising. As to whether you kissed political ass, well, if you
were a government contractor, you surely did, even if you were
unaware of it or refuse to acknowledge it.

You certainly know how to stretch a lie.


Are you saying that Greg hasn't repeatedly regurgitated his disdain for
advertising, or that there was no ass-kissing involved in your
obtaining
government contracts?


I wasn't high enough in the food chain to do any ass kissing.

He doesn't understand how RFPs work... or even businesses for that
matter.

We've had government contracts. In every case, the only contact we
had with *anyone* until after it was awarded was to send multiple
copies of our proposal to a specific address. You either requested,
in writing, the RFP or downloaded it from a site.

I think he's confusing government contract with *union* contracts.



Perhaps there is less of it in the boondocks, but there was plenty of it
taking place when the ad agency I worked for handled military recruiting
promotion...Plenty of ass-kissing, lunches, receptions, and to a much
lesser degree when I was writing and producing videos for several
federal agencies.

I suppose if you are a "me too" company with nothing to differentiate
yourself from your competition some elbow bending, ass-kissing and
smoodging is required.
