Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

Listen up… With only  two or three days to go until Valentine’s Day, apart from the odd box of chocolates and the bunch of flowers you have been conned into buying ‘cos the retailing Mafia of the USA has convinced you it’s something you absolutely have to do, otherwise, you’re a dead man. So, it’s got to the point were you have to buy tchotchkes for every member of your family, including the dog, cat and goldfish… Just be thankful you aren’t living in the United Kingdom… ‘Cos February 14^th also happens to be “National Impotence Day!” I wonder who came up with that gem? Obviously not Hallmark Cards who are responsible for every bogus holiday ever invented as an excuse to get you to buy stuff. Although, you never know, it could be some kind of joint promotion with Viagra, or whatever else is being promoted in the UK these days as the elixir for “Keeping you pecker up!” Personally, a plate of oysters washed down by a couple of pints of Guinness always did the trick for me.
