On advertising

May 13, 2009 08:48

I love how advertisers like to target their audience. I don’t know if you guys have seen any of those “recycle me” ads promoting organ donation, but i see on EVERY bus that I take up here. I can’t help but laugh and think of some fresh outta highschool kid coming up here for their first year, getting caught up in the “greenness” of Guelph especially it’s university circles and end up signing a donor card because the ad said recycle in it. That being said, maybe its a good idea to get em while they’re young and naive. I personally have never considered organ donation. Mainly because I’m sure my guts are toxic and/or alien and i wouldn’t want to infect an innocent bystander.

Also i’m sure you’ve seen those ads that are like “you just proved bench advertising works” while driving or riding on the bus. Well everyday when i take the bus i pass one that says “you just proved signs work” and IT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF SOOOOO MUCH!!! I mean the whole concept in itself is annoying, but to cut down the English to the point of being nonsensical??! I’m sure too that i’m much more aggravated because I have seen the full sign so I actually know what the sign is trying to say as opposed to if i hadn’t have seen it and it would just be some stupid ass ad i saw. No shit signs work buddy, hehehaha. Instead its a goddamn thorn in my side!!!

Anyway, i missed my bus so i had 15min 2 kill. I’ll try to jump on this for an update later 2day.
