Reading 2-8-08
I often find myself criticizing ads which emphasize style over function for products such as SUVs and trucks. I find almost no use in purchasing one and not using its primary functions. A bachelor who works as a computer analyst whose hobbies are limited to golf and movies has no need for a Dodge Ram Quadcab 3500 or such. A golf bag could fit in a Neon. What is the necessity of overabundance of functionality when it is not put to use? Advertisements certainly do wonders to dupe people into buying what they don't need.

Great blog, really is the truth with ads and how the american public always looks for bigger to be better.
I agree. I think. That is why the message needs to get a person to think. If the person is intersted, the message on the ad needs to continue to stay with the person. We should be able to choose what we want to buy by our standards and based on what we need... not a cool picture.
Jason, You have made good argument here!
