Fun with Advertising

[Maksutov]

While watching the Pittsburgh-St. Louis game this PM, an ad on the wall in back of home plate caught my eye.

Based on the orientation of the airplane in the ad I thought of three things:

The slogan should be "We know why you fly with other airlines!"
The pilot needs to be reminded he's not in a stunt plane.
American needs a new ad agency, preferably one that doesn't go everywhere by bus or train.:)

...American needs a new ad agency...I nominate the creator of those delightful HeadOn commercials!

I nominate the creator of those delightful HeadOn commercials!
Thanks now I have "Headon apply directly to the forhead" ever and ever in head now.

I nominate the creator of those delightful HeadOn commercials!One wonders who conducts the follow-up market research to see how effective an advertising campaign is. For some reason, given what's on the air and stays there, I suspect it's the advertising agency itself, which of course guarantees unbiased results.

Case in point: I'm a migraneur. I saw one "Head-On" commercial (or at least the first few seconds of one before switching it off) and, based on what I saw, decided never to buy that product.

I think the product's ad campaign (loudest-permissible-volume principle) is funded by TiVo! http://www.bautforum.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
