We've Had Enough: Jennifer Lopez studies the sweet science in order to pummel her creepy ex in the aptly named 'Enough.' Don't Worry, We'll Think of an Ad Campaign* Jennifer Lopez. Everyone has a limit. Enough. By Richard von Busack The ads promote a summer film in which Jennifer Lopez fights off a battering ex-boyfriend (Billy Campbell). But anyone who saw Angel Eyes could have plastered them all over creation--or it could have been P. Diddy, Mariah Carey or thousands of National Enquirer readers who've had enough of J-Lo. That the ads are hanging at BART stations makes the campaign all the funnier. BART stations are the advertising court of last resort, where flopped movies still bray their come-ons to tired, bitter commuters, long after they've left the theaters and headed for video oblivion. But what the Enough ad campaign really says is "Crunch time came for us, we the copywriters, and alas, we were not visited by the Angel of Market Penetration." The same is true for the Men in Black II ad: "Same Planet, New Scum"--so much like the coffee mug legend "Same shit, different day" that it hurts. Here are some other taglines for use by the tired ad-agency writers. Don't thank me.
