We Buy Ads

Burger king joined forces with Xbox a while back, to make a new way of advertising to young males. The games were sold for 3.99 when you purchased a value meal. I think it's cool how people pay for advertising and then the products they see form the advertising. I never think of marketing as genius. People are just stupid and easily manipulated. For instance when you buy a newspaper, over half of it is advertising. Some pages are just a giant ad. Others are articles about things you should buy. The rest are already on the news. TV is a giant sales pitch. I was watching a movie loaded full of commercials and decided to count how much of the program I was watching and how many ads. After 12 minutes of program 5 minutes of commercials would run. Most of the time the average TV programming has half an hour for every two hours. I dont think people should buy digital cable because you get more channels but allot of the stuff is things you've already seen. Things play at the same time too. It's stupid. Like i always say...Get a hobbie instead!
