Killing Cool mobile app helps ad creatives help other creatives get over the death of their ideas

Working in the creative industry is frustrating. Creatives see their ideas killed by clients and account for the dumbest reasons. Killing Cool is a community where creatives help other creatives get over the death of their ideas.
How it works: When a meeting starts, open the Killing Cool site on your phone to discreetly tally and tweet about ideas getting killed. The counters on the site record the activity and when milestones are hit, giveaways from creatives are unlocked to help with the healing.

Maybe your ideas just sucked
Harden up people seriously. This is the job you signed on for. If you need a circle jerk every time someone says no, you need to take a good look at yourself in your pocket sized make-up mirrors.
Being an advertising creative is a very privileged job full of sweet perks, parties and recognition.
They should re-skin this app for nurses and doctors to commiserate every time some dies on their shift. There could be a nifty tagging system for what bodily fluids you got covered in that day.
It could just be that my serotonin levels are still depleted from last weekend but this just comes off as entitled and bratty. This is a bad idea and you should feel bad for liking it.
Sorry
If you go to a meeting in which that many of your ideas are rejected that you need to keep a tally, statistically speaking, there is quite a high chance that you suck.
