Dilbert meets USENET:

Yep, saw that one, brilliant,

It's a time honored tradition. Don't you remember Captain Zilog?

The ad that bugs me is the one in EE Times with the photo of moldy bread. I really don't like seeing that while I'm eating lunch (which is when I usually read EE Times). I've blocked out the name of the advertiser.

There was some company that had rocket-assisted cartoon frogs in their ads.

The ad may have impressed the advertising types, but I can't remember that company either.

I've seen a lot of very entertaining ads that I have no ides who they were or what they were selling. ;-) (mostly on TV, during Super Bowl, but you get my point.)

The thing is, you have to target your demographic. I've just been thinking about this, and came up with a new term I can put on my shingle: "Demographician."

Whaddaya think? ;-)

Cheers! Rich

I think this is one of the biggest failures of marketing people. It doesn't matter how catchy your ad is if we don't remember what product you're selling.

For example, I saw a really funny ad the other day. A guy was sitting in a chair eating lumpy white stuff from a milk box. Another guy comes in and says "What are you eating?" He replies "Cottage cheese." The second guy says "Dude, cottage cheese doesn't come in a milk box." The first guy says "So?" and keeps on eating. I have no idea what they were actually advertising.

It could be for cheese, or dairy in general. Usually a logo or something, though...

Lord Leverhulme, the founder of consumer goods giant Unilever, once famously said: "I know that half of my advertising is wasted, I just don't know which half it is."

I rather like it, and now that women are being incorporated into the workplace more than ever, the days of the anorexic model in marketing are over.

How about Amp'l Annie? (sp?)

How come the Wiki articles do not list author's name? This one is ridiculous:

Whew boy- look at these:

Stop your whining and set up a consulting business, or make an attempt to join an established consulting firm. It is most likely that you are considered over-qualified for the full-time positions and will bring too much baggage with you.

The real problem is that it's not Wonder Woman? Tell us a little bit about your reading of her.

Pity. I really like anorexic models.

The old comic-book version was great. The teevee lady, can't remember her name, was dumb and fat. But most women on teevee are dumb and fat.

Sounds like yogurt, but they'll never admit that those lumps in spoiled milk is what yogurt actually is: Rot.
