Okay we can't hype this any more...

In an unexpected legal move, the nzcreativecircle today applied for a suppression order on itself.

The controversial blog took the highly unusual step of applying to have its own story suppressed. This is surely public blogging at its most confused. Who can say? Certainly not us.

All nzcreativecircle is able to tell you is that there were two unnamed creative students on placement at a large and unnamed Auckland agency. During their tenure this unamed creative team produced an idea for an unnamed client. The unnamed team moved on to another unnamed agency, taking with them in their portfolios the unpublished idea( which was their idea, remember.)

Excuse me....your Honour could we please have a glass of water? Thanks. (Glug glug.)

An unnamed creative allegedly involved in a review of the unnamed team's unspecified idea at the original (!?) agency later produced an allegedly identical idea for an unnamed charity client. What hapened next, nobody is talking about. But somehow the ad for the unnamed client appeared in an unnamed creative industry magazine and was allegedly displayed as a legitimate, sanctioned ad carrying all the names of the unnamed. Including the unnamed client. Trouble is the unnamed client hadn't ever seen or approved the unsaid work.

The very angry unnamed client has since written a letter confirming this, copies of which are sitting on unidentified desks at several undisclosed locations . Allegedly.

Sidebar: when challenged to name names, nzcreativecircle refused all comment and ran from its undisclosed premises in a strange zig-zag pattern with a blanket over its head wearing expensive jeans and some sort of top and there may have been a baseball cap but we're are not at liberty to confirm that.

More details as they are suppressed. We hope this clears everything up.

Actual pleasantry suppressed,

Can't Tell You

All we are allowed to say is we have a new lawyer. And she's hot!!!

Um, that's really serious. That's as bad as that Nike thing that Todd did at Whybins.
Are you sure about your facts on this?
I know that the Coastguard service has always been a Saatchis client because Toyota has always been a coastguard sponsor and am really surprised that Mojo has been doing a lot of work for them recently.
