impacting the stupid

Filed under: general, thoughts

for some reason, the lousiest ads have the biggest impact on me.

like, the victory curtains and blinds radio ad.
“Victory, victory, curtains and blinds, one three one three double nine.”
Go to their site, you can listen to it.

how about the Shannon’s insurance one.
“Shannons, one three nine, oh oh six”

watching/listening to those ads, you’d think they’re really bad advertising, but when i look back, i suppose they are good ads, because their telephone numbers are now permenantly stuck in my head.

then there’s really stupid ads like the mcdonald’s cajun mcnuggets one.
where they have 6 ppl trying the nuggets, and dipping it into the spicy sauce. and after eating it, they all rush to different source of waters. (fish bowl, vase, and i can’t remember what)
the ad is so stupid, yet after watching it so many times in a day, i couldn’t help myself getting a pack after sending weipz home.
it didn’t help that i passed 3 McDonald’s when i sent her home. and 2 of them were still open.

and when i think of good ads, those really nice and creative ones, i realise that they do nothing to me other than me saying, “hey that’s a nice ad. i like it.”

so, i guess i must be stupid to have stupid advertisements have an impact on me.
