jesus  clients  advertising 

There’s no advertising tie-in here, but it lead to some of the best copy I’ve ever read. The full story is here, but to sum it up: A lady wanted to restore an old fresco of jesus but didn’t know what she was doing and really screwed it up. Christian Fraser, a correspondent for the BBC, described the “once-dignified” portrait as looking like “a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic.” Now that’s good copy.

Good Copy/Bad Copy is an advertising blog by tj arch, a self-loathing narcissist, currently making a modest living as a copywriter. The intent is to critique ad copy, but I frequently get off topic.
