It's not for me to say why Paul Tilley killed himself. I met him once, we corresponded a little bit. He seemed like a decent guy.
But whether or not they played a part in his death, it's a reminder that the words we use matter. Journalists, industry types, bloggers. It's easy to forget, because it's all too easy to criticize. But they matter.
God bless his wife and two daughters.

Giants Won, Television Lost
Followers of this blog (they are legion, and their feet are tired) will remember I said momentously in my initial post, The Future of Advertising, that TV is not dead, it’s just learning new tricks.
But after the Super Bowl, I’m starting to believe that TV may well be dead.
Nothing proved the bankruptcy of big-spend, traditional advertising thinking, versus the onrushing dominance of digital, than the ads on the Super Bowl.
Except for the Hyundai spots. And the Will Ferrell spot. Those were good.
