Anyone that works in the “Ad Biz” will know the concept of doing spec work. Basically is you create something, for free, and pray someone will pay for it after its done. Somehow this is the standard in the industry, and no one knows how this came about, but it seems like we’ve all agreed on it, and have an unlimited supply of crazy pills to take to upkeep the system.

So it was LOVELY to see Zulu Alpha Kilo make this AMAZING video documenting what this system would look like in other industries. Imagine if prostitution worked like this. No. No you can’t.

Brilliant guys. Bravo. Bravo. (The question begs to be asked if they payed to produce this video, or if everyone just did it as a favor;)
