Advertising

[Woodruff]

This seems like a perfectly and astoundingly AWFUL way to try to advertise. Unless by "advertise" you mean "piss off everyone in contact with you":

No one else can hear the voice. It's inside their head.
"Kill them all. This is God taking. You know they deserve it..."

"Kill them all. This is God taking. You know they deserve it..."

I have to admit,that sort of thing occurred to me too.

Or what a way to spread religion.

[BoganGod]

Wow, that would stop me getting a window seat ever again.

Advertising already goes too far... you pay to see a movie
and they run ads before the feature.

Ad people will soon occupy a status previously reserved
for used car salesmen and politicians.

You like the window seat...
You will sit here again...
God wants you to...
Don't listen to THEM.
They know nothing...
This is the Lord speaking.

I do suspect that their claim they'll find "God's match for YOU" is close to blasphemy. Unless God is their computer.

I hate advertising; I am very much a pay-for-it rather than a free-with-advertising kinda guy.

I don t think it s a bad idea. This is the typical one shot type of campaign that would surprise people and give excellent brand recognition feedback. If this is used regularly it will be terrible. But see, this is not going to be used a lot. It s just to create some buzz and what they intended is working perfectly. You are sharing it with us right now and i now know about this sky thing.

But i understand that americans can hate advertising, in the US it s just completely offensive, it s not possible to watch tv and not lose your sanity, you got more adds than program almost..

[oVo]

...you got more adds than program almost..

Network TV definitely does. Guess that resolves a lot of programing problems.

Is that all the window says? Yeah, that would be lame; all the window doing is encouraging you to rest your head on more windows.

It used to be, if you didn't want to hear propaganda you could stuff your ears with candle wax or cranberries. Now you will have to shoot yourself in the head.

[Funkyterrance]

No worries, I'm sure if this actually became widespread someone(Funkyterrance?) would invent some sort of pad you could strap to your head to block the transmission.

tin foils hats anyone?

A giveaway of free toothbrushes in London caused mayhem at the Waterloo underground station.

A promotional stall handing out free electric toothbrushes to commuters at Waterloo station was forced to shut down amid safety fears today after hundreds of people overwhelmed staff and caused “mayhem” on the concourse.

Rail bosses ordered the closure of Colgate’s “brushswap” event amid safety fears.

Toothbrushes are considered a rare and exotic implement in British culture and are highly sought after.

[Funkyterrance]

Not all that surprising though... They must tear through the toothbrushes with all the sweets they eat over there.
