Today's TV Advertising Commercials

Are they advertising a casino or a Whore house?

2013-04-10T17:02:00.005-07:00

Just saw this TV ad again and I could not make out
what they were trying to sell. The first picture of the ad
was of a casino. Then they showed a dinner followed by
a large bed and a woman in the bathtub/spa.

The line was more about getting something than playing at casino.

Is this a whore house with a casino front? That is what I take away
from this TV Commercial.

What is going on in the advertising world? And why are the
business owners accepting these non-productive TV ads???

That's the way I see it...

No more "softer side of Sears"

2013-04-09T18:03:00.004-07:00

The Kenmore ad is painful tp watch and mean. Enough said.

The ad people for this TV commercial need to be replaced with drunk monkeys.
That would be a large improvement.

Even if it was a stint woman flipping over a Kenmore and landing full on her back,
every feminist should be writing to Sears and demanding a re-traction of this mean ad.

And that's the way I see it...

"Is WHat It Isn't"

2013-04-04T18:22:00.002-07:00

A liquor TV commercial just ended with this line: "Is What It Isn't".

How stupid, inane and off-putting to viewers.

I can just see the ad rep trying to sell this client how cool those words were.

The client bought it - to their ruin. It's a TV commercial going nowhere.

That's the way I see it...

REALITY CHECK

2013-02-25T07:33:00.002-08:00

The government cannot guarantee you any benefits
or services
WITHOUT FIRST TAKING IT AWAY FROM SOMEONE ELSE.

Plain and simple. It is a zero sum game.
The government has only the money it can take from citizens.

And the debt is just an elaborate way to to pretend the government has money.

That is the basis of socialism. Socialism takes from some to give to other.
But as we saw in the brief history of communist Russia, some people get more than others.

Socialism can be seen as the plunder from some to give to others. But the others usually are not the productive citizens. They are the takers of the system. They offer nothing in return for their taking.

Maybe it would be a great time to read ANIMAL FARM.
A short, great book that is fun to read and has a deep meaning - specially now.

And that's the way I see it...

Comcast has the most disturbing TV ads

2013-02-23T09:08:00.004-08:00

I switch the channel when the Comcast TV commercial appears.

The thought of a large bird swooping down and grabbing a pet from a woman is just beyond good sensibilities and beyond good taste. Maybe the board room is full of zombies and think this is fun.

To me and thousands of other TV Viewers, we find this commercial repugnant. And by normal transference, we assume Comcast will treat its customers with repugnance and cruelty.

Mean, cruel and unfeeling TV ads are bad marketing; just plain wrong. They show the mean and uncaring said to the company.

And that's the way I see it...

polite silverware holding and Quaker Oats

2013-02-16T19:26:00.001-08:00

Just saw a Quaker Oats TV ad where a young person was gripping the spoon like
he would grip a rope. Disgusting to watch.

How does this get by the media director or the film editor.

A fork or spoon is held between the thumb and first and second fingers.
Learn proper table etiquette before you shot any more disgusting TV ads.

Makes me never want to eat anything with the Quaker Oats logo.

KFC and a mean father

2013-02-15T21:19:00.000-08:00

When a father tricks his son into thinking the father is playing and
then the father eats the child's meal is just mean, mean, mean.

When are advertisers going to understand that good feelings and empathy sells???

A Really SICK TV Ad

2013-02-12T02:41:00.002-08:00

Have you seen the TV ad where a large bird swoops down and grabs
a woman's per dog. That is just plain sick.

If this is how the people that run this company think,
I want no part of their products.

How did this TV commercial get past a company's review board. Are they
all sick people at this company???

The best way to let these people know you disapprove of this type of advertising
is to use the power of your wallet or purse.

Stop buying products that insult the audience and show a sick TV commercial.

That's the way I see it...

Tacos

2013-02-08T18:40:00.001-08:00

When I see this commercial about seniors, I wonder why does Taco Bell hate seniors and
how does this TV commercial sell tacos. Another stupid TV ad plus an insulting ad.

When I want to eat tacos, I will go to an Latino restaurant and never too the Bell.

Kia ads are mean. I like the hamster ads. Not the mean ads.

Seems like the theme of the ad was copied from Blade Runner.

What's with all the meanness in the ads.

Mean does not sell.

Benefits and good feelings sell.

Campaign Ads

2012-09-11T15:48:00.001-07:00

I have not seen any Democratic or Republican ads on ABC or CBS or NBC
in NY or IL or CA.

There have been some Republican ads on Fox but very few.

Has both parties decided to take for granted the states of New York,
Illinois and california will be blue states???

There are a lot of electoral votes in these three states.

There should be TV advertising in ALL 50 states.

That bothers me.

Does it bother you???

Chasing rainbows and selling cars

2012-08-12T13:05:00.002-07:00

Another TV commercial with an adorable little girl. Even with her pouty attitude when she loses hope to finding the rainbow, you end up with a happy, warm feeling at the end of this TV commercial.

Little girl - Understanding father - Buy this car - A Great Theme.

This commercial will sell a lot of cars.

The big three car manufacturers need to review their TV ads. Chrysler's ads have been great and their sales have risen. A word to the wise of GM and Ford.

Does Lexus think its buyers re stupid?

2012-07-16T16:31:00.001-07:00

They are looking at travel brochures and say: Bora Bora as a destination. Then they dream of sitting in their car while a coconut drops on the hood. Come on people. They would have to FLY to Bora Bora Not drive there.

This is truly stupid and that makes me think the Lexus must believe their potential buyers are just that stupid. Why else write this stupid TV Commercial???

If I was a Lexus owner, I would think about selling the car. And if I was looking at cars, I would skip the Lexus after viewing this TV commercial.

Mis-Directed TV Commercial

2012-07-16T06:30:00.000-07:00

There's a casino TV Commercial now showing that looks more like an
advertisement for a house of ill-repute. There are no picture of anyone gambling.
There is no picture of the slot machines or the gambling tables.
There is no mention f anything related to gambling.
There is pictures of women in great outfits twirling, walking with new gifts and
in a small whirlpool.

What is this casino they really selling?

The setting is a speed dating scene. He is trying to pick-up this woman and she is aware of his every pick-up line.
HE: "Nothing matters since I met you"
SHE: " You wrote that as your favorite pick-up line 15 minutes ago."
Great copy.
Gets the point across in direct ad-copy.
Great timing of the actors.
Great feeling TV commercial.

NY State TV ads

2012-07-14T16:48:00.003-07:00

Just saw the new New York TV commercial. While it is strong, it sounds like the Chrysler TV Commercial. Same voice, same direct type of ad copy and the same driving music. Yes, it is pounding and forceful but it is a copy of the Chrysler TV ad:."Chrysler, Imported from Detroit." Now this was an original and a great TV Commercial. New York should never copy anyone's ad. New York needs to be unique.
