'Cannes You Please Shut Up': Tumblr Gleefully Pokes Fun At Stupid Agency Tweets

It's Wednesday. It's Cannes Lions week, It's awesome, right? Mostly, yes -- but certain aspects of the festival are just, well, annoying. Which parts? The parts where ad agencies, brands and other parties attempt to be witty and intelligent with their social media activity. Sadly, and annoyingly, this fails most of the time.

A new Tumblr post entitled "Cannes You Please Shut Up?" has taken on the task of collecting the most inane, most insipid and most annoying posts and posting them for posterity's sake.

Posts include poking fun at Interpublic CEO Michael Roth enjoying an #unskippable moment on a yacht, Havas Group posting images of super-smug people accompanied by stupid  #HumansofCannes quotes, something about Martin Sorrell eating his own children and super insipid comments like Ogilvy & Mather tweeting: "If we don't push our creativity, then we can't evolve."
