OFF THE VINE: No escape from a festering farang

<p>Vine has fond memories of Mark Ingrouille from his stint in Hong </p><p>Kong with D'Arcy, particularly that seminal moment at a cocktail party </p><p>when someone made the observation that all he needed was a lightbulb in </p><p>his mouth and he'd be the spitting image of Uncle Fester from the TV </p><p>series The Addams Family. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Then of course, there was the wonderful entry he sent into the Miss </p><p>MEDIA competition three years ago, with a photo of a poutingly gorgeous </p><p>candidate ... and him, hovering in the background with a definite air of </p><p>menace. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Mark is now back in Thailand, this time with McCann-Erickson, and Vine </p><p>received an unsigned contribution with the above photo. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The caption included with the photo reads as follows: </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>"McCann Thailand recently won five new pitches, so decided to </p><p>party!! </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Unfortunately, some ugly farang also got into the act." </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
