Great moments in advertising

It must be so much fun to be a young, internet-savvy graphics designer working for some stuffy older suits who can barely read their emails. I can imagine how the designer must have explained the symbolism of this ad to the clients. Further comments are probably unnecessary.

You are overusing the definite article. There is no need to use a definite article when the noun phrase following it is already restrictive enough.

Always pay attention to your articles and prepositions. When in doubt, use Google.
