Ad

I haven't posted in forever so I guess now's as good a time as ever. Not really because I have some economics work to be doing but, oh well!

A while ago I saw an ad for Goldseal canned tuna or something. It read "For those too busy to read this." I thought it was a pretty stupid ad. I get it that it means it is good on the go like a granola bar. However, literally it means that it has no target market! Assume if you don't see that ad then you won't know about it and won't buy it. But the ad tells anyone who reads it that it is not for them! No one gets any tuna :(

Luckily for me I don't like tuna anyway.

Any silly logic irritate you for no good reason?

  1. Funny how there is no target market, yet here you are advertising it!

    You should update your blog more often!

    I like the McDonalds ones that say CRAVE or something else just as obnoxious.
