Comment on Parisian Keyword Search by Jeremy

I just realized that I misinterpreted the “long distance relationship advice” – he doesn’t actually search that term.

It seems like he says “you know what, screw it, i don’t need advice! I’m moving to Paris…

Now I need a job”

Comment on Ad Placement is Everything by Ryan Colgin

The Gatorade ad in the mall is more ‘in-the-moment’ advertising which works great. I normally see Coke commercials on TV, at the theater, or online, trying to subliminally (brainwashingly) get me to buy Coke later… but not necessarily when I’m around a tasty beverage machine. By having the Gatorade ad located in a spot I can likely turn the corner to buy – odds are, I’ll buy Gatorade over Coke.

Well, personally, I thought the police flyer asking about women being raped was a pretty tasteless use of Comic Sans.

Maybe they were trying to brighten up the conversation?

I don’t know how anyone using a font like that in a situation like that can be allowed to make flyers for anything.

Aren’t you lucky to have a man who loves and delights in the process just as much as the satisfaction of the end product!!!

Kudos to Ryan and your excitement of exploration.

My favorite inappropriate use of Comic Sans has to be “Bone Marrow Transplant”. It’s not anything serious; transplanting marrow is fun! Let’s use Comic Sans!

thought provoking stuff for sure. i knew the logo was strikingly familiar despite my extreme avoidance tactics in regards to anything AVATAR, but yep, totally good ‘ol Papyrus MS.

i’m at a loss as well when it comes figuring out what kind of logic was applied to arrive at this final design.

my rather limited experience with the AVATAR media blitzkrieg has been limited to the terrifying Big Mac tie-in television promos. They inspire internal questions such as “who really eats McDonald’s in the park?”, “why are you gripping that burger like Gollum would if he had just caught it from a stream?”, and “chrissakes, man. get a napkin before that ’special sauce’ petrifies on your face”.

this guy agrees with me. http://bit.ly/7d1LfO

also thanks for the mole-mode penetrating heads-up on the hip-hopped slap chop ad last week. how did i not know this existed for so long?
