i've heard of Zwelakhe Zee Tshabangu, Kwezi Tlad, Xolisa Dyeshana, but who is this Sandy Dewitt, Alistar King, and Brett Morris. Something is funny here.
the person who wrote the first comment expected you to read between the lines, ofcourse everyone knows alistair monkey, its the firsat three names they were talking about
"What have you ever won? No wonder you are anonymous.....you are ashamed of your credentials........you being a junior....you know what!!!! Winners Galore!!!".
Thank god! With this panel I can finally get the grand prix I deserve for my dancing Vodacom muskrat, or wait... maybe a titanium for the Hotel hell ad!
So, ya, like, how come nobody has ever said that John Davenpoort, Julian Watt, Sandra de Witt & Porky Hefer are friends judging one another, therefore will hook each other up? Just wonderin...?
Come on guys. Just because some of these guys have won bugger all doesn't mean they can't judge. It's not about winning, its how you play the game... now finish your breakfast and pack your schoolbags.
Why don't you stop whinging like a little bitch and produce some amazing work for them to judge. Maybe then you can have an amazing title and judge amazing work too.

I make the lovely tea for the nice people at FCB. How come I have not been chosen to judge at the Loerie Birds awards. I like birds. They are pretty and the fly in the air. They taste nice, but not as nice as chicken.
To find out how Loerie judges are chosen, call or email the chairman of the creative cirle (Alister King) and all will be revealed. Point, in any agency you'll find a copywriter who has won more awards than his creative director (Creativ Directorship is a leadership position and not neccessarily awards tally based). So to say a 'copywriter is not fit enough to judge the creativity of your work' may not be entirely correct.
In with new. It's cool that there's a bunch of young, talented chaps on the panel this year. Bout time we got some new blood in there instead of the stuffy old boys club that has been at the reins for so long. I'm just upset that John Faquar's not there - he's big on creativity.
Don't be mean now coz your worst nightmares might just come true. Me and my underqualified black buddies might just band together and fight for every piece of work entered by a black creative to get something, regardless of the quality.
I've even got a plan on how we can go about this. See, the good thing about there being so few black creatives in this industry, is that we all know each other. So we can discuss who's entered what and what we think it should get. Isn't that the sweet, f*cking irony of our industry's snail-paced transformation. Anyway, I'm just f*cking with you. We will try our underqualified best to give your superb work the credit it deserves. Hell, we'll even put in a good word with the Oscar committee to award some of your gems.

Like anybody gives a damn about who wanks who in this circle jerk called advertising. You all just need to get a life. Nobody cares. Okay, maybe your mom. She wouldn't, wouldn't she? At least her loser, weed-addicted son seems to doing something with his life. She's not sure what, but it's better than nothing.
