It's not about offence, it's about cleverness. But you can offend by fighting for your ideas. That's the bit that takes some care. And it's easy to be lazy, because continually being highly creative and fighting for good ideas does take it out of you. Personally, I lost a lot of sleep, and spent a lot of time not socialising just so I could concentrate on the best ideas for everything I did. Taxing? Yes. Lonely? At times. Worth it? You bet - I'm very proud of what I have achieved. Work is hard. Creativity is harder. But the pay off's are much more rewarding... Respect. Like a rapper with bling. Respect. Only if Rogaine is some sort of aphrodisiac.

Creative writers can get a little lazy, and play it safe. I mean, how many times will a writer think (if they're dealing with the same client for different formats) "how about I write an audience appropriate advert?" Hah. That'd be the day. Adverts should mean something to the station, so why is it that you can hear an advert talking about the wife and kids on a youth based station? The same advert on multiple stations is hardly creative. Everyone plays it safe, and no one wants to offend anyone. People need to rub some Rogaine into their balls! Yah!
