One more thought regarding the Cannes Lions diversity debacle. To protest the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s cultural cluelessness, Scarlett Johansson urged the entertainment community to step back from HFPA-sponsored events. Plus, Tom Cruise criticized the organization’s lack of diversity by returning his three Golden Globe Awards. Will any Adland pseudo leaders speak out—or issue memos—to condemn the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity? Better yet, will anyone—especially the White advertising agencies behind award-nabbing “multicultural” campaigns—return their shiny baubles? If there were trophies for hypocritical liars, the list of winners would be quite extensive.
