Coke's "Happiness Factory Trailer" commercial


Coke's "Happiness Factory" trailer commercial, gives a odd look at the insides of a vending machine and the struggles within. The commercial is appealing. I found it odd that the ruler of the land, inside the machine, was wearing a pink bear outfit... weird.

Take a look and support us by passing the word.

Make a Million Dollars With 1 Click!



It must be magic or some kind of voodoo that slips into people when they think they can make money without doing anything. Beyond relatives dying or finding a treasure chest this will never happen but why do people still try to find easy money?

There are several ways to make money without too much effort and here are a few of them:
  • Sell your used stuff on Ebay or Craigslist
  • Start a blog about anything and place ads on it.
  • Sell your plasma (it helps burn victims!)
  • Become a freelance writer
  • Sell your soul to the devil (just kidding!)

This topic does not truely fit within the constructs of the blog foundation but I thought many people might want to read about it or are looking for easy cash. My only thought regarding how this fits into the blog is to bring more thoughts on advertising to the table.

Wal-Mart Bombs Target


Wal-Mart blasts competitor with new commercial. The jab at Target is apparent.

Is Wal-mart going for blood now? Target, Wal-mart's main competitor, has had a few unlucky quarters lately and Wal-mart seems to have positioned themselves to kill. It looks that way to me.

My thoughts on the symbolism in the commercial could represent several things. The changing of the colors reminds me of a political ad; red to blue. Could the red and blue mean more than just Target and Walmart?

Rolling back the hands of time to 1950... Is Walmart propositioning Target is Communist?


I don't have enough evidence of it, but it is still speculation.

The Commercial Critic watches PBS?


PBS... The guy who critiques commercials watches PBS? Yes, it is true, I watch PBS. it gives me a needed break from all the advertising that fills the void between my ears. Moving on, I was on hulu and found a great show that airs on PBS that I would like you to watch.

The show is Scientific American Frontiers and is hosted by Alan Alda. In the posted episode is all about how our mind makes decisions. This reseach will soon infuse to all marketing and even product design.
Please enjoy.
