The retreat featured “jugglers to get people’s creative juices flowing. The Nintendo Wii is manned by ad execs and others are listening to an executive from Britain’s Guardian newspaper give a presentation entitled ‘Oh My God, the Internet Ate My Business!’”

Agency Spy does a superb job of laying into this ridiculously unnecessary, too-much-but-too-little-too-late move, so I’ll leave the ranting to them.

But come on. Really? Forget about being about ten years behind the curve in the ad business…what a poor business move in general. AIG much?
