April 1! In high school I took an advertising/English class. We read Subliminal Seduction and The Hidden Persuaders and I fell in love with the thought of using words to convince people to do something, buy something. I went straight into advertising out of college.
That ad is delicious. Advertising used to be so much wittier. Edgier. Now it's just in your face so the dimmest bulb gets it.
Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.
If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.
Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.
If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
That is fricking awesome!
ReplyDeletehilarious!
ReplyDeleteIs that the cover of the book? Because it would have made a truly awesome ad.

April 1 - I'm no fool.
OtherJanet: That's not the cover. The cover is on the blogroll righthand side.
ReplyDeleteColour me stupid. I think I was too tired when I was reading this. I get it now.
ReplyDeleteAnd it was a truly awesome ad.
