Brilliant that is what advertising should be like. Not the purile mindless shit we normally get.

Damn..
That was good!
You know that kind of advertising is NEVER possible in the US.

Excellent.
Here's a question, can you say that a specific advert really influenced a buying decision? We hardly watch any TV but my wife absolutely loved the Honda diesel advert
here.
It definitely made her want a Honda.

One tastes like bullshit and the other smells and sounds like bullshit.
Advertising: Lowering the art of lying to a completely new level. Its no wonder advertising industry "workers" are now rated on a level with estate agents. I hear there has been a massive turn-off on American TV due to advertising. So the arsholes are sticking their shite on computer games instead. Hey! I just remembered I don't do computer games! "Oh what a beautiful morning. Oh what a wonderful day!" tra la.

As the great Bill Hicks used to say "Go and kill yourselves"
Posted on: 11 October 2005 by Martin D
KRO it was as follows:
By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are, do. Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers, Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no fucking joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your fucking soul, kill yourself. Planting seeds. I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke... there's no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations. I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that. You fucking evil scumbags! "Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done research - huge market. He's doing a good thing." Godammit, I'm not doing that, you scum-bags!

Recreated for you pleasure to music by Fila Brazillia.
I liked that advert for Playstation i think where a baby is flying through the air, grows up as it flies then dies and a coffin lands down.
It got banned, but the one where a nurse tries to coax a baby out of a woman with IronBru was not.
I'll never understand it.

No of course not. I was round at Martin's brainwashing him
After nearly thirty years of repetitive TV advertising aimed exlusively at the sub-70 IQ level I've had it up to here^! I deliberately avoid buying anything whatsoever that is advertised on TV. I will drop like a brick anything that I have previously enjoyed the moment I see an advert for it on TV.
I seriously wish all advertising "workers" a prolonged fate worse than death for the misery they have caused to billions with their vile bilge.
BTW: I am never drunk. I may have a medicinal pint of imported British beer at the weekends, whether I need it or not. Somebody has to stay sober and watch the skies.

Kuma, within the scope of Electronica, Fila Brazillia were never really underground, its all reasonably main stream (good though, I have them all)

hmm... guess you might be right.. but it seems they sort of changed direction after they left the Pork label.
I sort of stop tracking what they are doing after the Jump Leads really ( felt more commercial after 'A Touch of Cloth' ) and still think their best one is the Power Clown.

It appears more like a symbiosis to me - both parties feed from each other - the advertisers and the consumers. I see where you're coming from but nobody is holding a gun to my head telling me to buy a $1000 Prada beachtowel.
Posted on: 11 October 2005 by Deane F
I wonder if I shouldn't start a luxury beachtowel thread...
Chaps?

I've never been consciously aware of having been influenced by an ad to buy something I hadn't already decided to buy. I'm far too intelligent to be influenced by an ad. Therefore companies waste umpteen billion dollars a year in advertising because it's obviously a waste of money.
Anybody else feel this way?
And really believe it?

I'm no marketing expert (and I hope my death is sudden and painless if I become one...) but isn't advertising about forming a part of the picture for a consumer - rather than being that which informs the entire purchase choice?

Oh no I see "I'm not buying a cheap £1000 towel" thread comming. It's about the only subject not covered so far.
Ad people(and their clients) should be locked in a room for days and played their "best" work. Let them see how hilarious the "joke" is after the 200th+ time.

the new hp ad with the guy making copies of his head is rather clever, not that it's made me want to rush out and buy any hp products.
