LOTW: www.commercialsihate.com
This Link Of The Week (LOTW) is about 'ugly stereotypes' commercials, according to video editor Nathan Alexander.
He started www.commercialsihate.com in 1997: 'The ad industry thinks we're are stupid. Commercials assume the worst about us. Commercials use ugly stereotypes to appeal to the lowest common denominator. That's nasty and insulting. Lucky for you, my reader, so am I.' There is a checklist of crimes committed by advertising firms called 'The List of Advertising Offenses'. And also print ads are criticized. Alexander's diatribe is interesting and might create some awareness about 'bad' advertising... |
