I like to think I know a little something about advertising, but maybe not.
It’s been my source of income for almost 25 years. I often read books, websites and blogs trying to learn more about it.
But I’ve confused myself.
The other night while watching one of the Charles Barkley Taco Bell commercials from the Super Bowl, I was thinking about how much they missed the mark in my opinion. Sir Charles reading poetry? Really?
But then as I pulled into the Taco Bell drive-thru the next night, I found myself ordering the very box Barkley was peddling.
As I was digging into the food in front of the tv, an Old Spice Body Wash commercial came on and I almost choked from laughing. “What a great commercial”, I thought. I ran to my computer so I could watch it online over and over.
Then it hit me that I have no intention of buying any Old Spice Body Wash. So which commercial was bad and which one was good?
I don’t know the answer. But Carissa thought it was funny too so here it is.I’m on a horse.
