I caught some of the Bears/Saints game yesterday, and found myself watching a Fed-Ex/Kinko’s spot in which a boss runs through a laundry list of office stereotypes while advising his employees. The writing is snappy (boss: “Ted, you just keep thinking everyone’s out to get you.” Ted: “They are”), but it’s basically a PG version of Tim Hamilton’s classic ad-industry spoof from 2000, Truth in Advertising. You can see more of the current FedEx campaign here.
