Bad Advertising
Maelstrom
What is with all these ads about the internet recently. We are presented
with images of old-timers mumbling about how great it is to Email to
their grand children, nun's discussing the latest technologies and
pre-pubescent females saying "wow... FAB".
Who is making these ads? Don't they know anything about 'target
marketing'. Shouldn't they be appealing to the main group that uses
these products? So why aren't there any ads showing pimply nerds hunched
over their keyboards masturbating over a gif of Sandra Bullocks head cut
and pasted onto a nude body? I have submitted several photos of myself
doing just this to leading advertisers but, as yet, have had no serious
responses. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THESE PEOPLE, DON'T THEY KNOW QUALITY
WHEN THEY SEE IT?
Also how come in the Microsoft ad you click on something and a few
nanoseconds later THAT EXACT SAME THING COMES UP? Surely the ad should
freeze up for a few minutes and then in the same psychedelic writing
currently used, the inspirational motiff "Error: File not found" should
scroll across the screen.
Just a few suggestions imho.

You should have taken off the monkey glove and sent them to AOL.

Of course they know quality when they see it. They also know what
to do with any quality they see.
Take it out behind the barn, and kill it with an axe.

A child's letter to Matt McIrvin:
Dear Mister McIrvin:
Please repost your fake AOL ad. You know, the one about lancing boils
with a #2 pencil and rolling in filth and spectral Bill Mumey's and stuff.
Yours truly,
11 Year Old Timmy.
PS
How come AOL never made that one into a commercial? I'd a fuckken signed
up if they ran that one.

I don't have any recollection of ever writing one, and that's my story
and I'm sticking to it, and if you get on my nerves I'll WISH YOU UNDER
THE CORNFIELD.
