What if Modern Advertisers Created the Stop Sign?

This is hilarious, especially for anybody who has been in the creative field and dealt with corporate clients. I can SO identify.

It's a cute little video.

Pretty funny, reminds me of the Colin Mochrie "Truth in Advertising" thing from a few years back.

Jeezus, that creative guy needs to grow some balls, er, develop a better presentation.

But hey, if the client's dishing out big enough bucks...

What's really funny is that about 1/2 hour ago I was laughing at the new Sweet N' Low(trademark) commercial with Regis Philbin. The commercial basically says "Ok, so it doesn't taste like sugar. You know what, it's better than sugar." I even think he mentioned something about an 'extra zing'.

IMO, it was an instant parody. You couldn't come up with anything better with a room full of comedy writers.

So, I started reading the comments below the video...I found this one with was spot on:

Your site has very much liked me.

Buy Viagra Online
Buy Propecia
Buy Zithromax
Buy Lasix

I love advertising, and media.

I wonder if thats from the same group that did the commercials thats trying to clean up high fructose corn syrup's image as an additive. THEY bug me.
