Advertising must live in the real world. Occasionally, that means dealing with the abuses of the unscrupulous. At some point, it also has to mean dealing with reality.
Listening to Martin Luther King on the murder of four girls in a Birmingham church, Betty opines that maybe this civil rights thing is premature. But Betty should know that a dream deferred can dry up like a raisin in sun.
When I was looking at a lot of the models from Fashion Week, I thought the same thing: She looks like girls I met in treatment. She needs to be hospitalized right now. In an inpatient facility. For months.
No one likes to be talked down to -- whether by a suitor or a company. Speaking with humor and candor will sometimes work; but in general, what we want and expect is intelligent messaging.
CNN is actually following an old publishing model -- charge a small fee and include ads. CNN explains their decision to include ads as a way to ensure they can deliver a premium experience.
Should I be worried about Glenn Beck? In my long experience, when advertisers boycott media it's media that's too out there in a too-permissive liber...
Two British companies, Subaru, Toyota and Equifax are among the companies pulling ads from Beck's Fox News show.
Ever wondered how to improve your dating life? Maybe it's time you watched a few commercials and saw how mini-burgers can make a major change.
Pictures of unadorned business awning signs in New York that state what you will find inside with no obfuscation, no unwarranted puffery, and as few words as possible.
Presenters at IAB's MIXX Expo, a key event at NYC's Advertising Week, confirmed that advertising's future is now squarely focused on social media.
What "Seven Twenty Three" is is Don Draper's Waterloo. Or I should say, Dick Whitman's Waterloo. That's the day in 1963 on which Don Draper/Dick Whitman gets lassoed.
Firms that spent more on marketing than their peers during the recession enjoyed a higher market value five years after the recession ended.
A picture taken on film has advantages -- for viewer and subject alike -- that simply don't exist in the world of digital photography.
Though they may not get the whole fuel efficiency thing, Ford gets social media.
The world is about to radically change. Let me explain. The Internet business, which began to radically change the world in the mid-nineties, stalled...
Last night's repeat win at the Emmy Awards further enshrined Mad Men as television's best series on a night when it aired a consequential new episode.
This Tuesday, my organization, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), joined with several national advocacy organizations to launch the Drop Dobbs ca...
Minus the "Good riddance," I'd have to agree, at least with the proposition that newspapers lost track of their core customer. But don't stop with newspapers. It's true about most media.
Five major plot developments in this episode -- named for the culmination of Betty Draper's pregnancy -- drive the action forward as we enter the middle of the season.
Up until now, however, there's been a question of what the real consequences are for Beck and for Fox from our , especially as Beck's ratings have soared. It's starting to become clear.

I busted up laughing when I saw my first K & Go last winter in Colorado. I guess I'm not the only one that couldn't believe they picked that name for a convenience store.
I had a friend who worked there and all the employees called it "eja-cu-late & evacuate"!

The "Five Dollar Footlong" Subway ad should have been included here. Try watching it with the sound muted. It's just nasty.
Add the Quizno's Toasty Torpedo ad...
Hold on to your skirts - they have the Shake Weight for men, too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bTr8MA7EWU&feature=player_embedded
Hot guys, saying stuff like "I haven't had a pump like this in a long time." As a gay man, I definitely can endorse this product.
I liked it! :-)
Once again, kids, there is absolutely no reason for a hyphen to be inserted between an adverb and an adjective. "Unintentionally-Sexual" is a redundant construction, but if you didn't attend school back in the old days, I guess you shouldn't be expected to know any better.
I don't mean to be unnecessarily-harsh here, but sometimes I get really-exasperated by all the gratuitously-employed punctuation that seems to be sweeping our formerly-educationally-orientated nation.
See, it's just another sign that they're readying us for the Nazification of the country under the uber-Fuhrer Obama.
You know where else they use lotsa hyphens? KENYA!
Don't say us right-wing types didn't warn you. (They don't call us "Right" for nothing!)
Well, that proves it, Obama was born in Kenya.
You seem to forget that right-wing states are the most uneducated in America. Texas, anyone? Conservatives could care less about education, unless it's about the bible.
They call you "right" for the same reason mobsters call each other "good fellas."
I can't tell whether you're being satirical or honest. However, the original post has an underlying message regarding the lack of education in America. I don't think the statement "Don't say us right-wing types..." helps portray you as educated.
First and foremost, your noun does not agree with your verb. You would not say "Us warned you." You would,instead, say "We warned you." For this same reason, you should not say "Don't say us right-wing types didn't warn you." You would instead you the pronoun "we."
Second, you hyphenated "right-wing". Are you Kenyan?
I think this must be satire. It's just to easy to rebuke to be honesty.
