OOC, Advertising

Jul 18, 2006 19:56

((I've just got some lame OOC curiosity questions that you can answer any way you want.
-Have you seen ThatGirlEmily? It's a blog about a woman who found her husband's cheating. I read it and got really excited that someone would have the total guts to do this. I LOVE true revenge stories. Turns out it's a Viral Marketing campaign from Court TV. I have to say I thought the blog was a little suspicious because of a)when it was linked b) the grammar is perfect c)lack of commenting ability.

My question is, how do get yourself to the point where you notice those instinctual things more? That instead of just feeling the "hmm this is sorta weird" tug, I'd have realized it was fake?
What's the dumbest thing you've ever been disapointed by?
Is it weird that I like creative advertising, and that I'm going to read the blog anyway? Are you more pissed that advertisers are getting sneakier than basically lying about the fact that it's an ad, or are you happy that it's at least interesting?))
