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.

Is 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.
Colour me stupid. I think I was too tired when I was reading this. I get it now.
And it was a truly awesome ad.
