Lame Alert: Cannes Lions Won’t Let Adland’s Videographer into the Fest Cuz He Used to be a Copywriter

Ask Dabitch Wappling is by and far one of the top adbloggers. She’s not only host to one of the largest ad databases, but also a fantastic person to know (even if only via inter webs). She’s going to Cannes, and had asked a friend and former copywriter to attend as her cameraman for AdlandTV. But the Cannes folks won’t let her cameraman in because (uh oh) he used to be a copywriter.

Lame. Watch the video in all its Euro-accented goodness for an explanation. We love Adland, Commercial Archive and really hope they get in. C’mon Cannes, don’t be dbags yet! The show hasn’t even started.
