Creepy Advertising

All right, there are some creepy advertising campaigns going on right now. For instance, here’s the new Visa commercial:

The message here is clearly that using cash is quite an “un-American” thing to do. Here’s something even more radical: don’t buy your lunch, brown bag it!

Oh yes, and then there’s the new cookies and milk advertising campaign. This campaign will encourage you to buy cookies and milk by making bus stops smell like them –thus activating your sensory receptors and all the unconscious baggage that goes along with it. As I said, these things are creepy!
