I hate advertising. But I really hate weak ass yuppy advertising. Have you seen the Passat commercials where they market the car as unpretentious? Some annoying couple sits at the stop light that has turned green behind another vehicle. The woman get impatient and beeps the horn from the passanger seat. An enormous man emerges from the stopped car in order to kick some ass. The man of the couple at this point sprains his vagina while trying to sink into his seat while his harpy girlfriend/wife contemplates divorce while locking the doors. The gorilla assumes it was the drive of an SUV sitting behind the VW and these annoying people slink away while some other poor soul is about to be pummeled for the self-centric beep. Remind me to key one of these vehicles the next time I see one in Brooklyn.
(On a side note, the music in the commercial is “Kissing Families” by the Silversun Pickups, which is my favortie song. Grrr.)
I hate advertising.
Or have you seen the Apple ads where the unshaven twenty-something representing a Mac berates a dorky suit representing a PC? They are Coke and Pepsi, people. Both shit-brown, sweet acid in a can. Don’t be a tool and support one or the other.
I hate advertising.
Have you seen the new Miller Lite Ads where Jerome Bettis and Burt Reynolds lead a panel of guys in establishing Man Laws (Like the fact that when you bring beer to a friends house, it now belongs to the firend. No take homes.) I like this commercial.
I hate advertising that is not targeted to me.
Site of the Day: More advertising, but this time fun: www.search4yaris.com. Kerstin’s design class at the Art Institute of New York (she’s the teacher, not a student) took on a huge and innovative project. They are coordinating a scavanger hunt on June 3 using the Internet, digital cameras, and cell phones. The purpose is ostensibly raise product awareness for the Toyota Yaris, but really I think it is just for fun. I plan to put together a team and whip those young’uns. More later.
