the value of advertising is that it
tells you the exact opposite of
what the advertiser actually
thinks. for example: if the
advertisement says "this is
not your father's
oldsmobile," the advertiser is
desperately concerned that this
oldsmobile, like all other
oldsmobiles, appeals primarily to
old farts like your father. if coke
and pepsi spend billions to
convince you that there are
significant differences between
these two products, both companies
realize that pepsi and coke are
virtually identical. if the
advertisement strongly suggests
that nike shoes enable athletes to
perform amazing feats, nike wants
you to disregard the fact that shoe
brand is unrelated to athletic
ability. if budweiser runs an
elaborate advertising campaign
stressing the critical importance
of a beer's
"born-on" date, budweiser
knows this factor has virtually
nothing to do with how good a beer
tastes. if an advertisement shows a
group of cool, attractive
youngsters getting excited and
high-fiving each other because the
refrigerator contains sunny
delight, the advertiser knows that
any real youngster who reacted in
this way to this beverage would be
considered by his peers to be the
world's biggest dipshit. and
so on. on those rare occasions when
advertising dares to poke fun at
the product - as in the classic
volkswagen beetle campaign,
it's because the advertiser
actually thinks the product is
pretty good. if a politician ever
ran for president under a slogan
such as "harlan frubert:
basically, he wants
attention," i would quit my
job to work for his campaign.
there apparently exists, somewhere
in los angeles, a computer that
generates concepts for television
sitcoms. when tv executives need a
new concept, they turn on this
computer; after sorting through
millions of possible plot premises,
it spits out, "three quirky
but attractive young people living
in an apartment," and the
executives turn this concept into a
show. the next time they need an
idea, the computer spits out,
"six quirky but attractive
young people living in an
apartment." then the next
time, it spits out, "four
quirky but attractive young people
living in an apartment." and
so on. we need to locate this
computer and destroy it with
hammers.
they can hold all the peace talks
they want, but there will never be
peace in the middle east. billions
of years from now, when earth is
hurtling toward the sun and there
is nothing left alive on the planet
except a few micro-organisms, the
micro-organisms living in the
middle east will be bitter
enemies.
when god decides to deliver a
message to humanity, he will not
use, as his messenger, a person on
cable tv with a bad hairstyle.

bad, there is always one individual
who perceives a solution and is
willing to take command. very
often, that individual is crazy.

woman that even remotely suggests
you think she's pregnant
