As a copywriter for a marketing firm, I am sometimes asked to do ... things. Things that make me want to crawl into a hollowed-out tree trunk and allow termites to devour me. Things somewhat similar to this:
It may not seem like a big deal, but that's just because you've never been asked to replace the image of an attractive woman using a notebook computer because she looked "too hip."
[UPDATE]
From actual client e-mails:
Feedback #1: We're printing these on our own printers so can we remove the color, visuals, etc. to save ink?
Feedback #2: These look bare, can we add something so there isn't so much empty space?

Listen: It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.
You can't tell a client to pull their head out of their ass. Not and stay in business, anyway. The best you can do is recommend against it and then shut up. And try to help them spell their own names correctly. But not too hard.
