totally pointless post but i thought this was a weird way
of advertising. Timeout magazine today launches their new
look magazine and are paying around 100 people £5 an hour
to sit in packs on the tube and read it. every line has been
covered and they'll be out at peak times to make it every
more effective. The plan is that people sitting among these
readers will think "shit must be a good magazine! everyones
reading it i'd better buy it this second!". i'm not saying
don't buy it - i swear by it to plan my weekends but don't
be fooled by clever(?) advertising!

I think advertising is pretty lame and usually make a
concerted effort not to be influenced by it.

Has anyone seen the awful film Mac & Me? It's basically a
protracted advertisement for McDonald's and Coca-Cola.

I'm probably gonna be going into Marketing as a profession
myself, so I think it's kinda cool... controlling your
advertising based on what the customer want and all that...
I like it...

I as an architect feel so jealous of advertisement
designers...they have the power to make a product more
buy-able...i want that ability

i don't think the advertising worked too well yesterday. the
magazines new look is hardly different and the effect wasnot
as intended! nvrmnd good idea anyway.
