I'm paid to lead the @cjrwInteractive team as Interactive CD/Strategist (these views are my own), but really I'm just a father of 3 and @sarabethjones's husband

Certainly there’s more to come from Seinfeld / Crispin Porter + Bogusky
Like Steve McQueen was a man’s man, Crispin Porter + Bogusky is an ad agency’s ad agency. They have what we all want… big budgets, trusting clients, and huevos grande. Hyperbole? Perhaps, but just consider a few selections from their creative portfolio.
The King, he’s theirs. Truth, theirs too. CP+B created the AND1 Mixtape Tour, a streetball league, as a vehicle to sell the upstart AND1 basketball shoes.
That’s the reason that I’m so bugged by the CP+B produced Seinfeld spots for Microsoft that began cycling through our screens last week.
Something had to be said, and it has been. Over and over again. Check out the the chatter tracked via Addictomatic.
The ad’s a serious head-scratcher. I’ve come to this conclusion; Either 1.) This is just the beginning of a compelling narrative, and there is much more to come, 2.) Microsoft aligator-armed it, reigning in the creative horsepower of CP+B, or 3.) My heroes have finally nuked the fridge.
My vote is for conclusion one, so I’ll wait to see what’s to come.
