Sometimes I wonder what advertisers are thinking; and in turn, what do they think of their taget audience. Here's a few jabs back at them...and my appologies to any member here who's in advertising!
From a blue bell ice cream ad: 1-"Tastes just like the good 'ol days" Just how did those days taste? Whose good 'ol days were they? Did it matter that some crappy days were mixed in? 2-"hand cranked taste" Is this extra crunchies from the gear mechanism, or is it much scarier than that? An oldie but goodie: "we'll pay off your car no matter how much you owe" They're definately after they financially responsible buyer, and they also sell bridges. From a sam adams ad: "at the peak of freshness" Maybe the engineers here can help me with this one? From a gold buying ad: "scrap gold" This is not only a classic oxymoron, but it's a growing problem! |

Good stuff Greg; I guess advertisers know an emotional connection is stronger than an intellectual decision.
Thinking about this, I know I own an old boat because it reminds me of my "good old days." And I'm hoping to help make some "good old days" for my family. Chuck |

That's just plain scary, but I agree that they are playing on our emotions. Warm fuzzys are good, but they love fear.
The difference is it was your idea!

Not an advertisement but an oxymoron none the less. One of my favorite sayings when I was in college and it's a Foot original:
" She is butt ugly but she's got a great a$$!" |

Ahh another favorite college saying of mine in response........... " I've NEVER been to bed with an ugly woman, but I sure have woken up to few of them!" |

Did anyone check out the link above? Maybe if I had titled it "Howard Stern on the election in Harlem"...or if I had said "these people should never be allowed to vote again"?
It's pretty good! |

Greg,
I checked out the link...I think we are in trouble. They should have a multiple choice question sheet that permits you to vote before being allowed to push any buttons. |
