William, I wrote to four Ogilvy & Mather clients to point out the anti-American libels their ad agency produced and to ask whether they want to be represented by such a company. I suppose I’ll get form letter replies, if any. Yet, I tried to contact the History Channel and AETN about the Ogilvy libels and their part in them. You can’t do it. They don’t publish their mailing address. Nor does a search of their website offer any comment at all on the the Ogilvy libels, not even the complaints of trademark infringement which provoked their cease-and-desist demands. Nor does the Ogilvy website say anything about it, not even to mention they won a Clio award for it. Now that the Clio website has removed it from their website, too, what we’re seeing is institutions trying to airbrush an embarrassing episode out of their history. It’s futile. In the end, the liar deceives only himself.
