No- Politically correct is NOT an Ad campaign...



Wow- how dumb is this? They are trying to sell these wear-on-your-face tv screens, which ARE cool- I mean, I have a pair (not this brand).
However, 2 things:

1- I never use them.

2- If I WERE to use them, and I were a thick-necked guy, I would NEVER wear them for OLD MOVIES... I would wear them for the BIG FOOTBALL GAME-

Oh, but I see- you've covered that crowd:


Only a boardroom (excuse me- BOREDroom) would say: "Oh yeah, we'll show the HOT WOMAN watching the football game- That'll confuse them into buying!"

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

They may sell, but only because they're the only one advertising these at all.
I've got an idea- get the boredroom people, strap these glasses on them, and make them a powerpoint of watch their ads cost more than their sales.

Even the MONKS are doing it!



I saw this ad in the NYC Subway- I put this ad on here not because it sucks, but because I wanted to show you that even the MONKS understand that times are changing- I don't know if the Franciscans are advertising in the right pool (NYC Subway?), but hey- you never know.

Umm... Welcome Back STUPIDITY....

So, I'm walking in Macy's with my wife, and we see this ad:


It says "Welcome back Color". See anything wrong with it?
THERE'S ONLY ONE COLOR ON DISPLAY! And BLUE is hardly a fashion statement.

So what did I do? I IGNORED it except to say "wow- that's stupid!"
If they wanted me to look at COLORS, maybe give me a display with all sorts of mannequins in different... COLORS, all hanging out together. Then I might say to myself "Ooh- that yellow outfit is cool- I'm gonna get that, and while I'm at it, I'll get that green too!" Instead, I saw NOTHING, and bought NOTHING.
