While we are on the subject, did y'all see adages article CONSUMERS LARGELY UNMOVED BY PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ADS?
92% Say Ads Have Not Altered Their Voting Preferences
A full 88% of national respondents said the ads have not changed their opinion about key issues in the race, although domestic issues such as employment and the economy have been more affected than issues such as the Iraq war, education or abortion.
To no one's surprise, two out of three respondents -- regardless of state or party -- view political ads for the presidential race overall as too negative. And that could work against the candidates, as one-third of respondents said a candidate's negative ads -- rather than sway them to vote for that candidate -- may actually influence them to avoid voting for them.
Oddly, while ads from the Bush campaign have mostly attacked Mr. Kerry, who has been running mainly biographical spots, poll respondents saw the challenger's ads as more negative than Mr. Bush's. A full 61% of those surveyed said Mr. Kerry's ads were more negative in the national sample vs. 54% for Mr. Bush.
The reason may be that Democratic groups such as Media Fund and MoveOn.org have been running anti-Bush attack ads and the comments about the negative Kerry ads apparently reflect those ads rather than those from the campaign itself.
gosh, the "I am Kerry/Bush and I approved this message"-thing isn't clear enough or what?

How well does this kind of advertising work?"We didn't get as much response as we expected," said Marcia Anderson, director of marketing for WOW! Work Out World, which operates seven fitness clubs in New Jersey, including five in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The boxes include coupons that bearers can use for free seven-day trials at the clubs. "We were hoping for a little more of a bounceback with the coupons," she said.
The campaign is a success, though, in creating more awareness of the WOW! Work Out World name, which could eventually translate into more members, she said.
Before giving boxes for free to some restaurants recently, Work Out World paid to have advertising on boxes that were distributed last fall. The boxes bore slogans such as "It takes a lot of dough to make a pizza, but you won't need a lot of dough to join WOW!" "It's corny, I know" said Anderson, but she said the chain wants the public to know it has a sense of fun.Michael Aaron Rockland, a professor of American studies at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, has some reservations about the increased presence of advertising in daily life.
"We're a capitalist society, so none of this need surprise us," Rockland said. "At the same time, there are issues of good taste." America is about more than profit, and "if we keep going the way we're going, we'll be selling absolutely everything," he said.Naming rights to the Continental Airlines Arena have been sold, he noted, and the PNC Bank Arts Center. Coca-Cola has a $10 million exclusive contract with Rutgers, a public university, to be the only soft-drink supplier on campus, Rockland said.
"Fifty-thousand faculty, staff and students on campus can't drink anything but Coca-Cola products," he said. "When I'm at a Rutgers basketball game and the announcer says 'It's always Rutgers, it's always Coca-Cola,' I want to throw up."
Scotsman repots n-gage ads BANNED!
The adverts for the Nokia 300 N-Gage computer games consoles were part of a launch campaign shot at various locations, including the exact spot in Glasgow where Turkish Kurd immigrant Firsat Dag was stabbed and beaten to death.Under a picture of a footpath in the Sighthill area of the city where 25-year-old Dag was left to bleed to death, the advert said: "This is where I got a good beating."
Big mistake, big huge mistake. [via Bold.se]
Aye, so would I.
Not to be confused with a major Pepsi gladiator advert with Beckham [can be viewed by super adgrunts here: Foot Battle]. Is it just me or is there a bit of an overdose of Beckham playing ball for all sorts of things in ads lately? I can barely remember if it's Nike, Pepsi or Adidas.... Kiddin.. I'll reserve judgement until after I've seen this ad, after all, it has scooters in it and I do love scooters.
