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

I have to wonder if Barack and Hillary's ad bombardment in all 22 states that have Democratic presidential nominating contests on Tuesday with a combined $19 million expenditure, isn't going to be counter productive. Yeah, it's the most dollar and geographically loaded TV effort in a presidential primary ever. But man, that's a shit load of air time. I mean the local stations are loving it, but the poor, long suffering viewers must be getting just a tad pissed off. Problem is, if one doesn't do it, the other one will. But as I am writing about in my next book The Ubiquitous Persuaders, there comes a time when if you can't escape from advertising, you soon begin to hate it. Think Blade Runner here. Remember, it's supposed to be Los Angeles about thirty years down the road... Ads, holograms, blimps, speakers, robots... Ads are everywhere. On top of that, the ads seem to make it rain all the time. Haven't quite figured that one out yet.

I can't see the holograms for the rain.
