You can tell the ideals of a nation by its advertisements.

Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.

Mark Twain

As advertising blather becomes the nation's normal idiom, language becomes printed noise.

I don’t really care for Obama, Perry, or anybody else.  I do know that I definitely don’t like the change we ended up with. 

This post is not directed at the political types.  If you can get past Obama or Perry - from a marketing and presentation approach, what is your evaluation of this ad for Perry?

Effective, not effective, indifferent?

Tis the season.  Should be interesting…

What is the difference between unethical and ethical advertising?  Unethical advertising uses falsehoods to deceive the public; ethical advertising uses truth to deceive the public.

Me?  I think it’s PD effective.  Nothing like using your own words with images of failure and hypocrisy.

Don't tell my mother I work in an advertising agency - she thinks I play piano in a whorehouse.

    No substance, just drama... working at people's emotions and ignoring their brains. Sad that is what the GOP has to rely on.

    And it worked... until Perry started talking without a script.
