Mad Man or Messiah
Every time Mad Men is on, I notice the commercials in-between much more than I usually do while I watch tv...when I fast forward or pause so they'll shut the fuck up. Did you ever notice how much louder they are than the regular programming? Anyway, the constant discussion during the course of the show how to hook the consumer is so interesting...with the all of the carefully crafted words, lilts and pauses - the overt attempts at manipulation about how a car or a new pair of underwear can change your life. Ha. I guess if you believe it will then it will. I noticed especially this week all of the car commercials and Viagra commercials - are they marketing to the audience they HAVE or the audience they WANT?

commercials can be really fun (like the lotto commercial with the bunnies) and boring, like a lot of car commercials. i find commercials overseas interesting. different ideas on what works...
