Have you noticed? The ads before were more less compelling and annoying compared to the ads now. How could anyone forget how Apple jump started? It was a big risk that they took to get to what they are now.

Below here is the 1984 Superbowl commercial from Mac. This is their first commercial.

Now, that is an interesting ad. But what we see isn’t much of that anymore. We see hard selling advertisements much like door-to-door salesman slamming their products on our faces. Because of the internet, they are now realizing the power of it and the way they are utilizing it now is still great. They offer contests, games or just entertaining commercial clips just to get the attention of the surfer.

Do you think ads on the net will evolve to annoying ads very soon?

Can you imagine how airlines are affected more with the rising fuel cost if we with cars have problems with it? They might go bankrupt one day too because petrol will cause more than what we all can afford! Well, this airline released new guidelines to improve airline safety. I just do not know if everyone will comply.


So, better enjoy your airline benefits and FREE playing cards now and quit being like a cry baby that keeps on wailing and complaining.

Donuts equals terrorism?

Thursday

A lot of fuss has been going on about Rachel Ray’s Dunkin donuts ads all over.  What’s the big deal? It was because of the black-and-white scarf she wore in the ad while holding an iced latte.  Critics said that it looked an Arab terror person.  For me, what were the critics thinking?

I feel that we are taking this stigma in terrorism too far.  I am not undermining what happened at 911, but then, a scarf? This is a free country the last time I checked, we can wear scarves of whatever design as long as we want.  They say that it was what Arab people wear when they are on a jihad.

I doubt if Rachel Ray bought that from an Arab terrorist disguised as a scarf retailer.  It is bad enough that we terrorism threats, but scaring ourselves?. We are creating our own ghosts. And our labeling has gone too far.  I say, give it a rest.
