Knock! Knock! It's Opportunity! That Is, If You Call Being Invited To Create Free One-Sheets For The Weinsteins An Opportunity

Adding insult to injury, the buzz pimps at Metal Rabbit thought it would be a terrific idea to send this email directly out to entertainment advertising agencies:

Subject: Re-release poster design contest for THE ARTIST (The Weinstein Company)

The Weinstein Company is re-releasing The Artist in theaters on Friday May 11. To commemorate this event, we recently launched a contest to design the official re-release poster. We are seeking original submissions that capture the essence of the film. The winning submission will be featured the Facebook page of The Artist and The Weinstein Company with a link pointing back to the firm or to the individual artist, whichever you prefer. The winner will also receive a framed, professionally-printed theater size version of their winning design.

The Details:

• Designs can be submitted here: http://on.fb.me/LR5F5P or emailed to socialtwc@gmail.com

• Once approved, the designs will be added to the slider so other fans can see your work

• Submissions must be received by May 15

• The winning design will be announced May 16

Seriously? You send this out to people who pay the mortgage and put food on the table by creating movie marketing campaigns?! 

If we weren’t so mature, we would suggest our readers inundate them with posters so stinking bad that they explode from all the methane gas escaping out of them.

Print's not dead, it's just not a viable business anymore.

I don't believe the Weinstein company has actually paid for a poster in 15 years. I mean, they ask for the work and revise the work and yell about the work but then, alas, don't pay for the work. I think they consider it a privilege just to work on their stuff. Kinda like that midget bald dude at WB. Insists his vendors work for free. Probably so he can keep up his place in Tahoe.

Have I said too much?

Wonder how much the Mental Rabbits get paid for asking other people to work for free.

In other words: fuck them!

Fuck the Weinsteins and fuck Metal Rabid Media.
Fuck them both very fucking much.

Metal Rabbit = bamboozling buzzword bullshit.

The Weinstein's trail of unpaid invoices continues...
