How Not to Advertise Your Product »
I will say that I rarely succumb to advertising. I don't generally even watch ads, usually skipping right over them with the TiVo. It just makes life so much easier. Not only do we not have to worry about what the kids are wanting, it saves a whole lot of time. Most shows on these days will be nearly one-third ads, and skipping over them entirely allows us to watch more of whatever junk happens to be on. Okay, so that's probably not the best reason to skip ads.
But even if I do watch them, I am rarely grabbed by the desire to get up and go buy whatever goes past on the commercial. It must just be part of my makeup or something, but advertising of that sort just doesn't affect me. That, and I rarely watch home shopping channels or the like. Even for gadgets and things that I like! But this ad - found on Digg, I think - really caught my attention.
It is also one of the first times I've embedded video. I just don't find that much that I like to watch online, and even less of it is worth sharing. But this one is pretty good so I thought I would pass it along. It's that good. Of course, it's not highbrow humor or anything. It's just worth a good chuckle. At least, I enjoyed it. I hope you do too.
If it doesn't load - generally if you don't have Shockwave - here's the direct link.
There isn't anything quite like watching someone caught unaware of what is about to happen to them. I just love it. I could watch over and over again.
