Television
Watching a little TV tonight, which I haven't done in a while (especially not network)... it's kind of a dark zeitgeist. All the ads for sleeping pills, an obsession with criminality, spectacle, constant offers for credit and financing. PBS has that Bob Dylan thing coming up, and that's kind of cool. I dunno. I'm hoping the internet tv deal breaks through soon. Advertisers targeting the high end of the market.
I mean, really: what's the first thing you think of when someone says "Nuclear Power." I know. I know. Obviously, it's funkytown. That's Ariva, fine (and French!) dealers in Uranium-based power, taking a page from the strategy book of Lipps Inc. The thin but steady trickle of hipsters into the ad world is having it's effect.
