THE BRIEF: It's 1932. You're a hapless creative working on the Oldsmobile account in the middle of the Great Depression. (Granted, people aren't exactly calling it the "Great Depression" quite yet, but things are "depressing." All those Hoovervilles on Sheep's Meadow really mar the view from your Central Park West apartment.)
Brothers can't spare a dime, so how the hell do you convince them to buy a car? Let alone an Oldsmobile--a vehicle so dull they admitted defeat when they named the damn thing.
THE SOLUTION: A cartoon! A really, really creepy one with a four minute jingle! See you at Cannes, suckaz!
