Talent Is King

There’s a saying that goes something like this: Give a monkey a typewriter and enough time, and he’ll eventually write a Shakes peare play. After reading Sally Hogshead’s article “Work Ethic, Ugh” [A&C, Sept. 16], I’m beginning to wonder if that monkey wouldn’t make “a brilliant ad” instead.

I don’t know any agencies that are hiring typing monkeys these days (although there are bound to be a few), nor do I know any clients willing to pay for the time it would take for them to achieve such brilliance.
